What is your favorite hat crease?

[emigran]

You might try that "Roy Rogers"double telescope bash.There's a You Tube showing him doing it.

yep that'll take up some the height for ya... OR... Howabout a long low front Gus...

Working on another one. This is a 3X Resistol with a monster 6 1/2 open crown and 4 1/2 brim width. I'm not sure what crease I want to go with yet. I was thinking of John Wayne's hat that he wore in the movie, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". I got the brim shaped where it needs to be and I definitely have plenty of crown but the crease style is pretty fugly. Don't know. Too much crown for my taste. This is another one I may trade off. I don't think I'll ever wear it much.

That looks like it would be right on for the John Wayne crease

I think I'll try and trade it off if anyone's interested. It's way too much hat for me. Somebody else who's more into westerns than I am would appreciate it more. 7 1/4 LO Resistol 3X Beaver if anyone's interested in a trade.

TJ, you can drop the crown 1" or more with a deep horseshoe. The Akubra Woomera comes as an open crown at 6.7". I bring down & level the crown all the way around & across at 5.5". I tried 5.75" but liked the look of 5.5" better. I don't put in any dents because I like the look of the crown with a rounded barrel look with the horseshoe better. But I don't think it works with a brim with rolled sides. I like it with a flat brim & a slight pencil curl around 3 sides of the hat.

Looks so classic, film noir written all over that bash!

I finally figured out a crease for my Resistol 3X. I drew inspiration from Tom Selleck's "Down Under" hat. I reshaped both the brim and the crown to give it something of a "Quigley" look.

You really are gifted, TJ. That looks great!

Thanks, buddy.

 

[Bob Roberts]

There you go! I knew you'd have alot to work with and come up with something outstanding.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

The limbs and branches in my yard re-shaped my vtg.Adam homburg. From under the brim all looks well.

Best, Eric -
