Thanks guys! That's what I thought but just wanted to confirm.
You're welcome, tilt away ...

I remember seeing the Biltmore "Ark" at Meyer the Hatter many years ago, and there's at least one other member here who has one. My memory says the rake, the slope of the crown from front to back when seen in profile, was much greater than on yours, which looks much better to me. (I mean I prefer yours.) Did you have it reshaped or reshape it yourself, or did it come like that (in which case my memory is faulty)?It's a Biltmore. I have seen it called the "Ark" on some websites.
And thanks - it is my very first fedora - got it as a birthday present.
First of all hello, I am a newbie! I need help, Buler has a Stratoliner for sale that would fit me beautifully, but I cannot figure out how to purchase it if it is still avaliable.
Thanks! Once I get this all figured out I will post pics of my darlings.
Looking for a thread on how to RE-CREASE a stiff western hat. The search feature gives me pages of crease mentions, but nothing specific and I wondered if anyone recalls such a thread, and if so, should it not be in the "pinned" thread file? In advance, thx.

Thx Randall, I figured that was it, but wanted to ask as it is much stiffer than dress felt. Also, hope the lining stays put....thx.Steam the heck out of it and go to town. You may wind up with EOPC (evidence of prior crease), but some patient brushing and all-weather use will take of that.
Wouldn't it be helpful to post a thread with only internet- adresses from good hat- shops? I read a lot about models and manufactures here in this forum, but when searching at google i often don't find a thing.
What is the general quality of Barbisio hats?
