Western, anyone?

[bowlerman]

Thanks guys! I am going to try the Tom mix and narrow center crease . Maybe a Montana too, to add height because this crown does not have the natural height or mass most westerns do

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!

You should! I like it a lot...

This hat has a short and somewhat tapered crown, not nearly enough material to replicate that very effectively. So far I’m liking hurricane Jack’s * Tom Horn suggestion best, followed by the Mesa pinch

Jeff, I like them both. If you go with the Montana try flattening the brim a bit more, taking out the packer drawdown front & back.

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.

As it was when I got it

@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.

I like some hats with character. I would leave it.
