looks great on you Doug
enjoy it ... that is one hell of a hat
Portis sure did it right
... and that crease always seemed to be what the hat wanted so I left it ... I'm sure with some steam and TLC she will take what you want ... that felt is wonderful to work with

Oh, no, that crease stays right where the hat wants it to be; doesn't need any steam IMO. It's perfect! Some of the best felt I've ever handled, too!
Just right on the fit. Not too tight. I'm glad I jumped on this one! Thanks again, Ant!I agree ... that felt is something
hows the fit ?
Congratulations Bob! Do you plan to rework the crease?My new-to-me Rand's Custom Hatters 8X arrived.
I have one that is currently living with Hurricane Jack that was branded Lion Hats.

The best color.Couldn't pass it up, I love the color and I think it's a good buy. I paid a C-note delivered. Can't wait to get it. The photos are ebay. Thought I would run it by you folks and see what you think. Also hoping for information as to how old it might be, It's a Beaver Brand. Diamond in the rough?...

I'm down with your struggle, Bob.Thanks Dale. She got complements on it as she walked out with it. I'm happy for her, but I sure wish it would have fit me.

What a sweet hat! Portis Tissue Weight, grey, with medium violet undertones. I tried to crease this to a diamond and when I put it on my head it went right back to this c-crease. Soft, velvety felt; a joy to handle and mold... Thanks, Moon! My first thin ribbon fedora!
