    Dimension Help

    Here are some shots of an Oreanna bash I did on an old OR a couple of years ago. The front dents on DDL's hat appear to be a bit lower and there is no pencil roll on the OR brim.

    The bash on that hat is called an Oreanna. I'm guessing about 5 1/2" Crown and 4 1/4" Brim. But that's just a swag.

    Does this fedora look too tall on me?

    Portolan, That Adam looks very good on you. You might try the crease a tad lower in front and the back. What shape is the crown in (center dent, c-crown, diamond)? You might want to modify this. I agree with turning the back brim up. Down it resembles an Irish walking hat, which isn't bad, but...

    A word of caution Suggest being very cautious regarding the use of Lexol on the sweatband. GWD did that on one of his hats and it destroyed the sweatband. I don't remember the thread but you might want to pm him before using Lexol. I'd leave the tags in and wear the hat as it is.

    Stetson Pinnacle

    (I may be incorrect but) I have seen felts worked and pounced multiple times by a custom hatter until they have just the right finish and texture. This can be a very exacting and time consuming process. I do not believe the same number of steps are taken in working the felt on a production hat...

    Help!! Need a "non-dress" hat

    Exactly. The Campdraft is an affordable hat suitable for any occasion. As observed by Mark, bolthead, etc. a fedora wasn't necessarily a dress hat in the past. Depending on materials, construction, etc., a fedora could be very exclusive. But...fedoras were also everyday hats worn by men who...
