my first "real" felt hat

[6StringShooter]

Well folks, I finally picked up my "next level up" hat. It's a stetson Temple as depicted here (except mine is in gray)

I got it pretty cheap (a heck of a lot cheaper than what it is online), so it wasn't a major investment. I like it pretty well (it's definitely the nicest non-cowboy hat that I own). I was wondering if there was any way to change that center crease with front pinch creases to a teardrop crease...is that possible? Thanks!

Sharp hat, I do beleive i like the Chatham the Best.
I beleive , that with some steam and a little work you could re bash
it like you wanted.

Although I do like the Bash on the Chatham, I think I like the Windham best.

Nice score.

I'm curious where you got it myself.

Vintage Temple

For the next day there is a vintage Stetson Temple on eBay ...
It's already over $80 though, which seems high for a used hat when the style is new on Amazon for under $120?
Am I just naive on this point?

San Juan, Puerto Rico! Some lil hole in the wall shop with a pretty sorry selection...I picked up a dinky ol' straw fedora just to knock around, but this one was the real good deal

Looks like the new "Windham" is a return to the classic Whippet look...

Likewise.

Yeah, it sure does. To get a better sense of its crown shape, though, a head-on view would be helpful. Would be a pity (by my way of seeing things) if it tapers more than just a little bit.
