Very nice pinch! Looks sharp!
Nice work, Phineas (wife)
Here is a new hat that I'm going to need some help with. I really don't know how to bash this one. It's a borsalino with open road dimensions with the exception of the brim - it's almost stingy and has a bunch of flange curl. The hat is a little dirty but the felt is very light and quite nice feeling. It fits me well.
What should I do with this thing? I am thinking of ironing out the brim curl and going from there. I have dry-bashed it several different ways and nothing seems to fit.

I thought about the binding being two small and not allowing me to iron out the brim. That may be a problem. It's very generous of you to offer some ribbon - thank you kindly. I'll keep that in mind.Ironing out the brim seems like a wise choice. If it doesn't work it might be due to the binding - in which case you could remove it.
In addition, perhaps install a wider crown ribbon to make it a dress fedora? PM me if want a slice of some nice vintage ribbon for free; I have several colors that will work with Borsalino's Silverbelly-type felt color.

I did try a porkpie and it's actually quite interesting. I'll throw the porkpie back on it and take a pic - it is definitely a unique look.Looks like it'd make a nice, unique porkpie.
