All this diamond talk prompted me to re-crease my Heritage Grade Camp Draft in Moonstone last night. When I get my BGCD back from Texas Hatters, the last non-diamond hold-out will fall!
That bash looks perfect!
Beautiful job, Robert!All this diamond talk prompted me to re-crease my Moonstone Heritage Grade Camp Draft last night. When I get my BGCD back from Texas Hatters, the last non-diamond hold-out will fall!
It's going to be stiffer than you like. Maybe you can work all that out before creasing & wearing it. On mine it was the stiffness of the brim mostly that I objected to, but I like the brim pretty flat anyway so no real problem.
yeah ... it was an impulse buy for sure ... a tiny fragment of me regrets it ... but I love the look of the hat
That really looks great, Jim!
I really love that diamond crease! Perfect!All this diamond talk prompted me to re-crease my Moonstone Heritage Grade Camp Draft last night. When I get my BGCD back from Texas Hatters, the last non-diamond hold-out will fall!
I agree with Bob's comment. Hold the brim in the position you want and apply steam. It might take more than one treatment, but you should eventually achieve the shape you want. I've used distilled water in a spray bottle to convince the brims on a couple of my hats to have more "snap" than they'd have otherwise, but I haven't tried anything quite as "severe" as in your photo example.
Much better! The new crease suits you far more than the original. Hell, I even like the feather!
Nice work! Funny how a simple thing like changing the crease can take a hat from "meh" to "favorite".

Pic quality is poor. It does not show the true carmel color of the felt. Lucious soft felt with back bow ribbon trimming.
