Browned nicely on the edges.

If I wanted to define the crease more I'd hit it with a bit of steam and hand pinch it into the crease. Spritzed on water would work as well or just waiting until it rains and getting some on the hat.

Nice. Is there a simple, easy way to sharpen up the lines without creating a hard crease/edge? I want to define mine just a tad more than they are, I think it gives a slightly more dressed up look. :)

+2. The crunch is awesome, Robert. Is that an inside-out version of a Panama, with deliberately irregular knots? The hat is lined, so I can't see what the inside looks like...

If there is anywhere in this world a hat collection as impressive, extensive, representative, well-curated, etc., etc., as Robert's, well, I'd sure like to see it. Until I do, I gotta believe it has no rival.

Gotta agree with tonyb, think Robert must work it full time or be the mastermind of a world-wide hat acquisition ring. I'm routinely stunned with his posts.

Wright Mirakal possible OR Clone (ribbon isn't right but otherwise the dimensions fit).

I need to steam it and form it a bit better as dry creasing it with a front pinch from the longstanding cattlemans crease has left some wrinkles. It could also use a lot more brushing.
