2 more Akubras, crease advice please!

Nice job on the crease on the BOTP! Sometimes the crease that works best is one you find all your own.

Just for fun, here's a web page where you can look at a Gus crease from several angles. I also like a sample of what David Morgan did to westernize a Bushman. You might want to accessorize your BOTP with a hatband, such as one of DM's hand-plaited of kangaroo hide (shown), or hand-plaited horsehair:

Indy Cop...

Gotta go with the others and let ya know that the Campdraft seems dead on perfect to me. That's good work...nice hat.

AND, thanks so much for getting your Akubra Platoon in formation. That pic is a big help for myself, and I would guess others, that want to compare Akubra colors. Very appreciated.

As for Crossed Sabres...I'm a Crossed Rifles guy myself

Edited to correct: "sabres"

I like the crossed sabres for the civil war look but yes I wore the Crossed rifles for 4 years too!11 Bravo! I do have an infantry blue cord also.

On a side note this was my first creasing using steam.I definitely would use caution for anyone else trying it for the first time also. Before the hat was long oval and loose enough I could pull it all the way down over my ears. After the steam I noticed it was a little tighter and the long oval had come out some. A little wearing out in the rain seems to have helped it.

Ok I steamed it in and will let it be for now. I may work on it some more in a day or two.
Better?

And my new pin for it!

Pard, that is muy bueno! That brim looks good, love the M1 pin, too. Most excellent! Have to post in the Western thread! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Looking better than sharp!!!!!
That western looks great on you, so will a Selleck style hat be in your future?

 

[Colby Jack]

Lovin' that M1 pin...I picked up a Flying Tigers AVG pin the other day...Trying to figure out which hat it will go with....[huh]

I am starting to think so, full beaver in Sahara color!

Still liking that Camp but great job on the Boss. Brim curl is awesome.

Thanks for the work in progress pics IndyCop.

 

[Not-Bogart13]

The swoop on that brim curl really makes you Boss/Gus look great. I think you found the right bash! Well done.

Excellent work on the BOTP crease and that brim work is first class. I'll be looking at my westerns now to see which to rework the brim

IC, you have done a really good job on those two hats! You look really sharp in both of them! :eusa_clap

Your choices are very good, they do justice to the hats, and the wearer.
