Here is a Double X that I cleaned up and I’m impressed with the quality of the felt. It is lighter weight and has a nicer hand than the 3X Beaver Resistol’s that I own (174g vs 220g). Brim is 4” and crown is 5 1/2” open (the 3X’s I have are 6” to 7” crowns). For now it is shaped as a shorty...
I really like the billowy pin cushion look you get in the crease of your crowns. Is that a function or the felt itself or some unique creasing process you have (or both)?
Thanks for sharing your very distinctive and handsome hats!
It is tough following Stefan but I’m happy with my 2023 keepers.

Nice job on the crease — it looks great!
I had a Heritage Banjo Patterson and I removed the liner to make it a bit more breathable. The fur felt on mine seemed indestructible and it was my go to hat on bad weather days.
