    Brim and sweatband not aligned

    The problem I have is due to my nose being broke so many times, even if the hat was dead on in line with the sweatband and crease in hat all in line it would look off center on me, so I have to crease my hats off center a little so the crown ( crease ) looks lined up with my nose, as Dean says...

Mark does outstanding work, I was very lucky to...
