Obviously heavily influenced by the inspiration here. Just got to look at the first two 'likes' to see that, (-:

Vtg. Stetson Custom V. This grey felt struggled to show correct color this afternoon.

Good morning. Worn this morning is a vtg.Stetson Scoop and a Presentation Stetson in a 7x Clear Beaver.

(Note: Bottom under-brim pic is the better color representation of the Presentation 7X.)

This is one of the best threads on this forum. I'm finally contributing to it. I just reshaped my early 1980's Borsalino to a shallow 6-sided diamond crease. All my fedoras have diamond creases because that's what I'm used to seeing in movies (I almost exclusively watch American movies from the 1940's and 1950's). I'll try to post pictures of my other diamond crowns later.

And here's another diamond crown style that I experimented with last summer on my backyard/landscaping John Muir basher hat. It's a 4-sided diamond with a waterdrop/teardrop raised centre.

What hat is that? Looks great.

I started playing with my Cavanagh on a conference call today. It has the most pliable felt so it's a real treat to play with. On the way to work, I wore it as I usually do, center crease, deep dents.

As soon as I saw this I thought, 'How 1940s!' So I decided to help it along.

Hey - that's pretty cool. But I suspect there were a few more working piers (and a few less tall buildings) in 1940. Do you mind if I use that edited photo as my avatar?

It's a cheap wool felt hat from the 1990's sold by The Nature Company, part of their "John Muir Collection", this one is the "Sierra Club". Orvis also has a John Muir hat which is much better, and fur felt, quality. I put in hours to reshape the whole thing and stiffen it because wool doesn't hold shapes too well. It looks nice but it still feels like a cheap hat.

Not at all. In fact, I'm honored.

(I wasn't going to start changing the skyline, though. ).

Maybe a soft diamond with whimsical crown shadows.

Unique,I like it.

Or just strange, therapeutic nonetheless.
Thanks

I just put teardrops (or C's, I don't know the difference) into brown Fed IV and 1950s Stetson, which both had center dents.

Don't know if any Cattleman Creases have been represented yet, so here's my contribution to the Hat creases thread.

well done, looks good.

Make that well done on both of them
