Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I'm currently having trouble flattening the brim of my hat. I've tried several methods, but the brim still holds an uneven shape, making it difficult to achieve the flat, uniform look I'm aiming for.

Felt is a Fepsa 120g, 100% beaver.

Do you have any tips or specific techniques you could recommend to help solve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I just finished my first fedora. I've always made western hats in the past but I ended up picking up a few short brim nutria felts from sunrise that were seconds for cheap. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm going to put a handful of hats together to try to sell soon at an open studio deal we're having at my work soon.
