First attempt steaming a crease into a hat. Stetson Flagship
First attempt is a charm. Grand hat and crease! Wear that Flagship; "How To Look Every inch the Country Gentleman." (Saturday Review advertisement).

Thank you, Eric!! It is a swell hat, more-so with the new crease. The old crease it had in memory was just... funkyFirst attempt is a charm. Grand hat and crease! Wear that Flagship; "How To Look Every inch the Country Gentleman." (Saturday Review advertisement).
Great looking diamond Justin. That hat would look great inside out if that is how you bashed it, hard to screw up perfection.First attempt steaming a crease into a hat.

I started playing with my Cavanagh on a conference call today. It has the most pliable felt so it's a real treat to play with. On the way to work, I wore it as I usually do, center crease, deep dents.

But at work, I started thinking about how I am going to crease my new campaign hat and since the Cav is a straight-sided 5 1/2" crown, I started playing... and ended up with this, a double-mule kick with side dents. It's obviously horrific on a fedora, but I have to admit, I think it's an interesting, atypical, but appropriate look for a campaign hat or western.

Then I recreased to a telescope to go home.

I love the feel of Cavanagh felt. My Onyx colored Cav Thirty just begs to be fondled like this. Glad I'm not the only one.

That look is more gentile, and refined than a sharp crease. Absolutely beautiful.Soft diamond and soft side dents are working for this vintage Stetson Bantam.

The extra 1/2 in crown allows the Vogue to handle a bunch of different creases. Above is the crease that remained after wearing a gentle diamond for an hour walk. This hat is comfortable in the above crease.
