Jeff, I agree with DD, pic#4 looks best.

Just my opinions/suggestions to follow: The hat has a very wide ribbon so keep the crown as tall as you can or change the ribbon. Stay away from sunken telescope creases.

I like a straight block with a center crease & no pinches or dents. Keep the brim flat with a kettle curl around the edge (my preference with a wide ribbon).

I also like a deep, narrow, tight center crease & no pinches or dents. I like the brim flat with just a gentle swoop.

If you want rolled fenders then keep the low & to the sides. To keep some crown height it would look best with a Tom Mix crease.

Again, JMO. Your's may differ.

Also— those are true beauties!

I posted this 60s Stetson Number 1 Quality last week on Ebat Hats:Victories .....
Since then I gave it a bath, replaced the ribbon I couldn’t get clean and gave it a new crease.

@HurricaneJack gave me the idea for the crease in a post the other night. I don’t think I’m done with the brim but not sure what to do now so I’ll leave it a while.

I would had left the original band, but that it's me.
Other than that, nice work.
I liked that look too Joao but it was really dirty and the naptha bath didn't get it presentable. I may go back with a similar grosgrain ribbon but will probably have to replace the sweat when I do. I don't think it would survive stitching a new ribbon on.
