With the soft felt of the vintage hats, reblocking and changing a cattleman crease on a 3X OR to a fedora teardrop is fairly easy. On modern westwern weight felts with pressed creases, the transition is, in my opinion, difficult and best left to the pro's.
Point taken.
I live close enough to both the Garland Plant and Peters Brothers that getting it professionally blocked is an option.
The question then is: is it a good choice?
I mean, a 7X OR is a very nice hat. I have a western weight Beaver Brand fedora that I love and I would love a nice silverbelly fedora if i could find one, but is it a good decision?
