No, you're right, Metropd -- the crease on the hat in the photograph looks nothing like the crease on Bogie's lid in the Maltese falcon.

ex812 -- if you do a search in the Hats Forum, trust me, you will come up with all kinds of photos of Maltese Falcon creases...

Cheers,
JtL

It's nice to know that, no matter the time, temperature, or tilt of your fedora, the Crease Police are on the case!

Yeah sheesh! ..... I'll keep my big trap shut next time :rolleyes: [huh]

That's OK, Wil -- we'll let you off with a warning this time...

Now, drive safe! :D

That hat seems to sit very high on Bogart's head, but then I suppose it has to with such a deep crease. I've tried it on one of mine but couldn't get the 'C' shape at the back to work properly. More practice required.

Bogies looks like a diamond to me.;)

Yup. Hand-creased diamond with a distinctive rake, a moderately sharp pinch in the front, and shallow, barely perceptible side dents...;)

Cheers,
