Here is a new technique to make your crown open without a block.
That’s crazy. I may have to give it a try. I have two western hats that don’t have massive deep creases but because the crown is tapered I can’t seem to knock the crown out properlyHere is a new technique to make your crown open without a block.
I came across this video last night, only thing that I might be concerned with is whether it also changes the taper/straight sides.Here is a new technique to make your crown open without a block.

No stiff cardboard felt here! Gannon can do things with Winchester’s beaver dress weight felts that I haven’t seen from any other hatter.

Wish the link could embed, but here Gannon has a fantabulous grey felt hat. just a joy to see it sculpted on the fly.
Not sure about the Red one, Jim, but i recall Harry Anderson doing a sketch with a hat brim and the different type characters that wore them by changing the brim shape. It was amusing.For the past few days, I have been unsuccessfully looking for a video. Perhaps somebody could help. I remember a routine Red Skelton use to do where he showed the different types of characters he could play just by bashing his hat differently. All I can find that's even remotely close is his "How to imitate a drunk" video where he does a little hat stuff at the beginning.
Anybody else remember this?

I looked around a bit @Frunobulax and did see references to Skelton's hat changing, but couldn't find a video of it.
I looked a bunch too.Thanks. You seem to have gotten farther than I did.

While you are looking you should really see Red’s video of The Pledge of Allegiance from 1969. Quite tumultuous times, the height of the Viet Nam War and America was a very confused nation.
Quite moving!
