Too bad it didn't work out. They're nice hats. Looking fwd to seeing pics of the problem crown.
I wouldn't call it a problem. More a matter of what I have gotten used to. I wore a Brown Fedora that I bought from Arnold Hatter (NYC now long gone) for many years and was fine with it. I think the problem is the Camp Draft. I got used to the higher crown and wider brim and everything else looks puny. That said I am currently wearing a Steel Grey Squatter that I have creased with a very shallow center dent which is working for me. Go figure.

Hi all,

So I know I posted some pics already, but I re-did the bash, which altered the shape significantly. Let me know what you guys think.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Sorry, I have autism, I can't pick up on subtle social cues.
No worries. There is a thread here on the hat forum where we all post pictures and remarks about the different ways we crease/re-crease and pinch our hats. I don't kno how to link it up here for you. Maybe someone can help?

Ok, because I thought I wasn't allowed to post on this forum anymore because I happen to like a particular style of hat, and also because I just got a new hat I like and wanted to share it with other people.

I don't believe that's the case but that thread is a great thread too.

it is fine to do all of that ... and we would all love to see it
... but there are places for all of it

you get a new hat ... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/post-new-hats-here.28145/

you crease your hat and think it looks great ... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/hat-creases.9833/

you wearing a particular hat today ?.... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-hat-are-you-wearing-today.19520/

have a question or concern about something hat related ? ... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/ask-a-question-get-an-answer.41576/

waiting on a hat that you are excited to receive ?.... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-hat-are-you-waiting-for-today.81825/page-46

want to talk about Fed IV ?.... well ... we are here

etc etc

there is simply no reason to start a new thread for things there are appropriate threads for already ... thats all

I personally want to see your hats ... your creases ... and hear your thoughts ...

So then why is moontheloon going out of his way to make me feel unwelcome?
my intention was never to make you feel unwelcome ... and I apologize if that is what you took from any of my comments

see my last post for the reasons behind my comments

I think your hats look great and think you do a fantastic job shaping them ... I really do
