If you have a bound or welted brim edge done then it would need to be redone if the brim were shortened.
Cabernet is the color Art used it works great with the panama crown color.

I see. What about the brim of a panama?
Regarding the sizing of a hat, do sizes take into consideration the sweatband?
For example, with really short hair, I measure approx 57cm with a tape, so I buy 7 1/8 hats. After measuring the inside of my hat (that has a leather sweatband), however, I found that it's actually 56ish inside, but it's labeled as 57. It fits me, but to get 57cm inside, do I have to buy a size up? All my hats are 7 1/8, and they all fit me the same, with the exception of a particular felt stetson western hat.
To be honest I am quite confused, seeing as everytime I measure, 57 is as tight as I can pull the tape before I say "I don't want my hat to be this tight," yet none of my hats are what I'd particularly call tight, and their interiors are 56ish.
In my experience, a center crease is the least desirable in terms of trying to maximize head room on a hat with minimal crown.So, this brings me to the actual question, what is a good crease to use when you have a lot of head and not a lot of crown height? I was going to try a simple center dent and leave the crease shallow but I'm worried that might look goofy. Suggestions?
