If you local hatter has experience with cleaning hats, yours will shape up nicely.

You have to wonder if anyone referred to themself as a "*** Blade" back in the day..

Yep Feraud, my hatter does a mean clean and block.
Now...what bash would a *** blade fancy??

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Yep JTL - that's the very bash I had in mind.

You're the very model of a *** blade!

Such a fellow might favor a slight crease in the crown and a generous swoop to the brim!
That wide bound brim lends itself nicely to a confident post-war Bold Look.

Hmmm....food for thought there Feraud.

Do you have a pic of a hat with such a bash?

Now that's a bound brim! Suppose that's about a 12 ligne? Very sharp, Jim, as always.

A light-colored brim binding with a wide black ribbon? That must be after-market! lol
