Thanks Jack, a little hard to tell from the photo, is that a center fire crease? Similar to the one on the yellowstone in the photo below? I also really like the simple creases on the Sun Valley and the Armor. Hmm decisions to make.
Thank's Brent, It's a really straight sided block so the back dents give it just a bit of taper which I think suits the hat. It does have a few spot stains that I have to clean but I'm confident they will come right out. Working on these white hats makes me nervous!

I'm considering two hats from Ivano, one Boulter and one Boulter Redmond. They look to be identical to the ones you have but larger sizes. What are your thoughts?
Finally picked up my first homburg, was trying to find one that isn't black. It's now waiting for me at my PO box. I believe it's from the 30's or 40's?
Needs some cleaning up but it was snagged for cheap!
Max, did you purchase any of the Canadian made hats that he had for sale like the brock? If they are from the Brockville factory my guess is they will be very high quality. I have 3 Stetsons that came from the Brockville factory and the felt is in my opinion nicer than US made of the same...
