New Akubra Fed IV - need advice for diamond bash

[Jeremy Ball]

I just picked up my new Federation IV today, and I am excited to put in the shape. I would like to put in a diamond crease similar to the photos. These photos were from a forum member, I can’t find the original poster, but this is the shape I am generally looking for.

My question is – what would you recommend for the front pinch height and also for the height of the back pinch. And is there a height recommendation for the two side creases on the diamond shape?

Thank you!

Jude

Pretty sure those are @Zombie_61's hats. Perhaps he'll weigh in.

I ended up going with what I felt looked like the right height… I’m pretty pleased with it! Especially since this is the first I have ever bashed… I’m amazed how sturdy this felt is!
