After seeing my photos with the telescope, I'm not a big fan of this flat crease. At least not with my head shape. Time to experiment. Hopefully I wont have too many shadow creases to deal with in the felt, its probably been this way for decades.

I wish I could play the harmonica, moreover I wish I had a bottle of old Crow with or without the glass! Your edits look great!

Thanks, Ken it's 3 1/2" with approx 1/4" curl. I enjoy a wide ribbon on a western and Bond came up with this one.

Okay......must have ghosts in my house. I wetted and steamed then popped the Nutria Stetsonout of the telescope and into open crown. Not too many shadows, great! Then steamed it some more and creased a teardrop into it and let it sit on the block overnight.......this morning it was back in telescope, albeit just a hair wider telescope but WTF!!!After seeing my photos with the telescope, I'm not a big fan of this flat crease.

It’s the Nutria. My brown one invented the rowboat crease. I gave up. Lol

The hat has spoken. I like it that way though...

Weren't you wearing a Stetson 100 the other day? You've scored a few recently! Nice hat.

3x6 7x is quickly growing on me. I was immediately intimidated with this proper western lid, but after I fixed the crease and flattened the brim a touch, it’s starting to feel right.

Still wavy with the brim but I’ll be working with it a little more.

Looks great Ross. I actually like the brim a bit wavy, lends well to the nice old hat that it is. It's funny how fast the higher crowns and wider brims start to feel not only right but necessary. 3 x 6 is where it's at!
