When I first started hatting I was so surprised at how much felt gets used up on a square shouldered, no taper block. You could block it on the #52 and probably end up with about the same brim width as you have now. But it is a bitch to get it straight and usually end up with a slightly dimensional brim. As the felt gets used up unequally. If I understood mathematics it probably is explainable.Thanks Robert! I was thinking of using a #52 block so I‘ll need to adjust my expectations.
