Open Road/Homburg?

I was snooping around ebay this morning and came across an Open Road with just the center crease. This is a style of crown that is more appealing to me than a normal Fedora. Especially if the crown tapers down too sharply in the back. I've always liked the Open Road but not with the Cattleman crease. At least the side bashes. My Dad had one and had the side bashes steamed out but there was always this little hint that they were still there. This Open Road on ebay has just the center crease and it really appeals to me. Especially if a person could get someone to put just a bit of pencil roll on ther brim. Voila. A near Homburg with a crown that's not too small for a guy with a large noggin(size 7-1/2).

Woud something like this be doable? Believe me, if that Open Road were my size, I'd be bidding on it.

Edited to add: Okay, tell me what I'm doing wrong trying to insert a link. I copied the url of the ebay page I was at and pasted it in the little box that appears when you click the "Insert Hyperlink" button. I even tried making it a tinyurl and it doesn't work. What am I goofing up?

Pencial roll or Shackle curl

That will be no problem for a hatter to do and it will look sharp. Art Fawcett a Master Hatter a member here can do that for you in a month or so. His shop is being built so he is not making hats right now. Here is his link it may not be up right now. :)
