What is your favorite hat crease?

[cptjeff]

Teardrop for me. A teardropped 60's stingy just seems to work right with my face and build.

However, if my build and face was no factor, I have to say I would probably be wearing a diamond.

diamonds and teardrops for me

Diamond, for it's versatility on a number of face shapes, and graceful simplicity. Followed closely by a teardrop.

Diamonds are forever baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rlk]

Anything. I usually try to let the individual hat choose for itself.

Diamonds are a man's best friend...

I do also try the occasional teardrop or a center dent with pinches but most of my hats seem to work best with my facial features when I put in a diamond.

other - this - the Saratoga look from the C&K ad

and widened center dent (sort of a rectangle - it's sloppy) with side dents

had to add a clear image...

Found an ad in perfect shape last month.

Kite

An elongated diamond, more of a kite shape, seems to be what I'm enjoying most for most of my hats at the moment - just seems to work with my idea of how a hat should look from various angles, and what I think/hope works for my facial proportions and shape!

I voted porkpie.

EDIT: Just thought I'd mention that in my experience, the women I meet tend to prefer my black porkpie, and the guys I meet tend to prefer my brown whippet. So, I wear the former on dates, and the latter when I'm drinking some beer at the bar.

I would call that a modified cattleman's crease.

Then the name is yours. Mine is sloppy, and thus prefers to remain unnamed.

The Crease With No Name?

As soon as you name it, you've limited it.

The shapes exist
for now.
Another time,
they may or may not.
Time will tell.

 

[Chainsaw]

I'd love a diamond, if it can be done properly, without the creases. Otherwise a teardrop.

Was it Kierkegaard or Dick Van Patten who said, "If you label me, you negate me"?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

 

[Lefty]

Yeah, I was just going to say something all Sartrean about my hats, when chainsaw talks about a diamond with no creases, and blows my mind.

 

[Mr E Train]

Maybe he means a diamond bash without a tight pinch at each corner of the diamond, so the crown appears round when viewed from all sides. [huh]

I'm a big fan of diamond creases, although I also like center dents with side pinches. Those are probably my two favorites, and apparently the most common ones here.
