Hullo!
I joined this site after getting my first proper hat a couple of days back (a carbon grey Akubra "Bogart"), yay!
After I took it home I realized that the brim wasn't quite as symmetrical as I would have preferred and the front might have look nicer at a lower angle, so I took it over to the kettle for some steam
The only problem is the curve of my hat has lost that nice regularity at the front. The edge looks ever so slightly wonky from the efforts of my thumb and forefinger. The difference is probably only noticeable at close inspection but I feel that something is lost.
How do you guys get around that issue when tweaking the brim? Or do you just relax and accept that the curve will never be quite so regular?
