I love the Fed IV!!
None of my CDs touch the top of my head, no hat I own does that = couldn't stand to wear it. It does depend on the type of crease you do as well. I prefer rather long side dents with a good "tugboat" profile to my creases = a good drop from the front pinch to the rear crease with a gentle rise... -
"Too good to use..."
When we got married, my wife picked out an "every day" pattern for both dishes & silverware & a "good china" pattern. We got full serving sets of both of up to 12. She has built the every day stuff to 16. I have never seen or used the good china stuff in the past 20 years. Since moving over 16...- gtdean48

This one looks like it was made special for you Al. Good crease & brim shaping job...signature hat for sure. -
A few questions about blocks
Art's conformer only measures your head shape where you wear a hat & thus the parts that touch the sweatband. You'd need some type of software to map your entire noggin shape. Art's band blocks are only as wide at a sweatband but in the actual shape derived from the conformer he uses. -

Thoughts on the Schott 662?
The yoke & the vertical lines give it a corset look to me, thus a feminine vibe. You have to remember this is a leather jacket thread but on a vintage forum. Most folks here are partial to vintage looks = art deco, clean lines, simplicity. These front panels are too busy for me.- gtdean48

I owned a Statesman a while back that was basically a Snowy River copy. This ones seems to be a Cattleman copy. I trimmed the brim down & tried to raise the crease some but it was just too low crowned to start with. It was a plain chocolate brown color, seemed like decent bunny fur felt. I ended... -

Heritage won't draw like an Imperial, at least my 2 haven't. I ordered my usual size for both Heritage & Imperial & haven't had an issue with the Heritage being that much too large after I creased it. If it is quite large now, I think it will stay large for you. The sweatband is different as... -

I love the Fed IV!!
Every one of my new CD's out of the box in open crown shape went down over my ears like this. Once I creased them, either teardrop or diamond, they fit just fine. A couple of wearings and they fit like customs.... -
fall /winter boot Roper (wellington) vs lace up
I've lived in plain ropers for years. I have some with stitching on the toes that does go more western. You can't beat the plain brown or black roper with jeans to slacks to suits in my book. I have Lucchese ostrich no quill black ones as well as Justin & Ariat ropers. I can wear & walk in...- gtdean48

NO salt water! Use distilled water. Wet the back of the sweatband & leave the hat inside a car in the sun of Miami for a couple of hours...that may shrink it more than you need. Wet it then set the hat on a lampshade with a good 75watt+ bulb. Check it periodically till it fits like you want then...
