Thank you for all the likes and positive comments on my Akubra Bushman yesterday - but you may be taking them back today. I have always liked the way the crown came out (from the front), but I started playing around with the hat last light and added dents to the back, making it a kind of “Gus/Diamond.” The only thing I never liked about the original crease was the plain, round, look of the back of the crown. I know I’ve seen this done somewhere (probably on TFL), but can’t remember. So - better or worse?

Changes the profile somewhat.

Though not necessarily my choice,the new bash looks fine to me.

Very similar to one of mine. I like it.

Did it with a diamond crease also.

Both of those look great! I was probably subconsciously plagiarizing your crease!

I too did something very similar on one of my open crown Stratoliners (the silverbelly) to both make it interesting and provide more dimension to the pale color.....my wife really liked it on this hat....
I believe it is posted earlier in the thread......but will post again if I can find the image......

Can't take credit for the Worth-Walden. It was creased when I bought it, but after receiving & liking it I creased the diamond in the Rand.

Incredible crease, very casual but classy. Is it early 50s?

Thanks Anthony. The quest for the many elusive hat models is still enjoyable. I still content it is mostly luck.

Excellent question. I have not yet found an advertisement to accurately point to for the age of the hat. The smaller brim size and felt/liner/sweat combo points to late 30's and early 40's.
