Did a little tweaking a few minutes ago. It didn't have enough of a dramatic slope from the apex of the crown down to the back (or "rake" as I learned from daizawaguy) for my taste. Also, since it's a size larger than I usually get it's slightly loose, so I lowered the back of the crown to give it more rake, which also lets the back of the dome sit slightly on the back of my head. It doesn't bother me (I just can't stand it if a crease sits on the top or front of my head) and it keeps the hat from slipping down too close to my ears. Of course, what I term "slightly loose" many guys would call "a perfect fit"...I've just gotten too used to making do with hats that are too snug front to back because of the long oval thing. Anyway, here 'tis, still damp.
