A charcoal hued 50's Stetson Whippet is my hat of choice this late evening for a dog excursion.

Wow, this has to be the old black cherry. I only arrived on the scene to get the new one, which I love, but that old felt was something else. Nice hat dude.

Makes me finally ask, who does all the shaping on your hats? If it’s you, or whoever, the hat blocking, dents and creases are always perfect, but Especially the brims. They’re always consistent with just the right amount of back curl and front flip. Not an easy thing with many hats.

To clinch the deal on the brown Mallory, one might say, I had Jim by the long hairs.
Right, @Frunobulax ?

Thanks for the question Randall. My hats have many imperfections, but I do enjoy wearing them.
I use my Jiffy Steamer most weeks to touch up hats. I do have a couple wooden blocks to work the crowns. I only have one flange and so I am creative with working the brims. As to creases, after posting many times in the crease thread, which has disappeared off the front page of the hat forum long ago, I watched and learned a bunch of very subtle creases. The thread had some regular posters who showcased some terrific efforts in creases. I liked that it expanded my repertoire. Early on I worked hats to have the same crease. The last years I go with what the hat asks for. The brands of hats, models and felts each have characteristics that demand a type of crease. Additionally when I look at the magazine advertisements of the hats I start by mimicking the crease. An excellent starting point.
But truth in posting, I have also been much more lax in the detail of creasing. I am accepting of an off center crease or a bit of brim tip. I like the hats I wear and like the way I appear in hats. Comfort with wearing hats makes it easier.
