Wish I started with an open crown on this one. Still have more steaming and smoothing to do on my Resistol Topeka. I will post this on Resistol Roundup.

Symmetry is overrated.ThanksTo pinch turned out a little bit asymmetrical - it's not straight above my nose, it might not be visible on the pictures. Regardless of that I'm definitely going to stick with chicken footprint - I love the organic look of it...
I didn't realize just how asymmetrical my face was until I started wearing hats, and once I started paying attention to this while watching older movies I concluded that the whole "pinch centered over the nose" thing wasn't as common as many of us seem(ed) to think it was. Your new Campdraft looks perfect as it is--enjoy it!Wish I started with an open crown on this one. Still have more steaming and smoothing to do on my Resistol Topeka.

Thank you BB, I wasn't sure about this crease, but wanted it different than my other hats. It's starting to grow on me.
That is Nice! The dimensions do look similar. The Topeka has a 3 1/4 " brim, and 6" crown.
I thought I had the specs listed in my file but don't. I'll have to measure it but I think they are the same. I ditched the horse hair band with tassels that was on it for a beaded hatband.
The beaded band looks really nice on that. I am liking the crease, some finish work will make it look better. Seeing yours convinced me!
SWEET.....great job.........you got that hat fast......still waiting on the Dobbs Westward......Wish I started with an open crown on this one. Still have more steaming and smoothing to do on my Resistol Topeka. I will post this on Resistol Roundup.

That one is gorgeous Rudolfo, you and Ester did goodEsther Weis Sisal in Anthracite.
Extremely soft and lightweight.
Loved everything, even the Sweatband has a special deep mate black that is stunning, by far my favorite straw, darn close to perfection..
I am so glad I ordered it and let Esther play with the pug as headband.
This hat tells you it was made by a lady.
Unbeatable.

Thanks Hatman, I got it yesterday, and it came all the way across the country. I was surprised when I looked at tracking, on Saturday morning and saw "out for delivery".
That's just about the perfect western.Wish I started with an open crown on this one. Still have more steaming and smoothing to do on my Resistol Topeka. I will post this on Resistol Roundup.

Thank you Richard, that means a lot, considering how many nice westerns there are here.
Thanks !!! But I do believe @EstherWeis deserves all the credit for this one.
Another nice one.......Echter Mayser "Spezial", 59cm, Crown 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 1/2 inches probably later 1950s. This is a really great looking later Homburg. Also in near mint condition.
