Need bash ideas for a refurbished Akubra Boss

I recently stumbled across an Akubra Boss for $10 usd because it was “in rough shape.” Many small stains and two small rips in the brim. Figured I’d take a stab at giving it a new life.

Cleaned her up and removed the stains, cut 1/4” off the brim. Just needs steamed and re-bashed now. Best $10 I’ve ever spent. Before and after photos below.

I already have a Boss in this size and color so I’m debating a different look but I need ideas on what bash I should consider. Thanks

Nice work. If the old bash leaves a line went you push it out to an open crown, I leave it as is but add a slight front pinch, maybe snap the front of the brim down
