GREAT Job on the re-blocking....look forward to seeing it all trimmed out!!!I can tolerate a black western hat, but beyond that, I have no love for black hats. You can't even get the creases to show up, hardly, unless you stand under a light of some sort. Then, the hat looks either grey or brown in the pictures or it looks like either a black pyramid or a black box sitting on top of your head, depending on the block shape. I don't like black hats, at all.
With that said, I'm currently working on a conversion, another black western that had some brim issues. This one will be a fedora. It's been stripped down, trimmed, reblocked and creased. I just have to put everything back together again and sew on a new ribbon that Esther gave me. I went with a tall straight sided block and gave it a deep tear drop crease. Just wish it wasn't black...

How a black western hat looks has a lot to do with the size of the man wearing it. That same principle has a lot to do with how wider brims look in general.
