What is your favorite hat crease?

I've actually made a little progress over the years. When I first started wearing hats regularly it would bother me if the pinch didn't line up with the center of my face or if the brim was a little "wonky". One day I realized those are nothing more than the hats revealing their character, and I started to embrace those qualities.

Exactly. I had to force my self to "stretch" into that attitude. I've said it before, but my brain is wired for symmetry in an assymetrical world. I suppose if we grew up in the 30s - 50s around lots of men wearing their hats tilted to the side and bashing their hats with off-center creases and such we'd fall into it more naturally. For me at least, it takes work and a determined will to step into that realm.

It's kind of like art in general. I grew up playing sax in jazz bands. You can't just play the notes; you've got to get the phrasing down, "swing" with the band, and - when taking a solo - add your own nuances.

When I first saw paintings from Picasso and Van Gogh, I turned up my nose and thought bleh. I still don't care for Picasso, but I love Van Gogh now.

Being my very first bash that I've ever done, still pretty happy with how it came out and how it's managed to keep it's shape.

This angle seems to show the minty color a little better. So appropriate on such a MINTY looking hat.
