After seeing my photos with the telescope, I'm not a big fan of this flat crease. At least not with my head shape. Time to experiment. Hopefully I wont have too many shadow creases to deal with in the felt, its probably been this way for decades.That’s a great hat Ken.
Are you dead set on a telescope??
If not see the post before you.
Nutria can’t go wrong no matter what.

Jeff, I thought maybe you were playing a harmonica so I played with the exposure a bit to see. Ended up trying to make it an old time look. I like the appearance of peeling wallpaper & woodgrain on the door in the background & the spider cracking across the front. You need a bottle of Old Crow & a glass on that table. Hope the tones come across on your monitor.

Okay......must have ghosts in my house. I wetted and steamed then popped the Nutria Stetsonout of the telescope and into open crown. Not too many shadows, great! Then steamed it some more and creased a teardrop into it and let it sit on the block overnight.......this morning it was back in telescope, albeit just a hair wider telescope but WTF!!!After seeing my photos with the telescope, I'm not a big fan of this flat crease.

3x6 7x is quickly growing on me. I was immediately intimidated with this proper western lid, but after I fixed the crease and flattened the brim a touch, it’s starting to feel right.

Still wavy with the brim but I’ll be working with it a little more.
