tnitz said:As with all things, this is just my opinion. Both looked good and you did a nice job smoothing out the rear. What I don't like about the second crease is the sharp crease you have running vertically. It's not that it's overused, it's that on your hat you have a distinct variance between the top of the front pinches and the front (or area between) the front pinches. I'd widen out the front area between the pinches and remove the crease so that it mirrored the radius at the top of the two pinches. Am I making any sense? Your first attempt was closer to what I'm talking about.
jbucklin said:Yeah Tim, I checked out your thread on that Stetson the day you posted it. Looks incredible. I'm going to try your two-fingered approach, since I would like a bit more flat up front. Thanks for the tip!
Quick question: when you say that that vintage Stetson was open-crowned, do you mean it had never been creased before? That would be a rare occurrence indeed.
