Sorry for the fuzzy pictures but I am trying not to use the flash so the true color does'nt get washed out.

Douglas scores again! another great hat-and an opportunity for a question;
I've got a very nice Royal Stetson Whippet, Grey with Black ribbon-1 1/2", and finished brim, approx.3/8 wide; very clean, has $10- price tag, and nothing other than John B. Stetson imprint & Whippet on sweatband. (sorry no photos, ongoing struggle with camera/computer). After all that, with a substantial felt that the Whippet has, what bash do you recommend? I've seen you with a center crease, looks great, would appreciate any feedback on other styles-
thanks!

I personally prefer a center crease with no pinch. With that said, styling your hat is something each person needs to discover. What looks good on me or what I believe looks good may not look great on someone else and vice versa. many times I have seen a hat with a great bash and when I try it it looses something. I tend not to put sharp creases in to my hats for a while so I can play around with different bashes and pinches. As a rule for me taller crowns look better with a center crease and lower crowns with a diamond or C with a sharper pinch. This of course is my rule for myself.
I apologize for being vague.
