What is your favorite hat crease?

[Richard Morgan]

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

Well done TJ, as usual. What is that ribbon treatment called, I know it has a name, but don't know what it is.

Thank you, RM. I heard it called a Campaign Bow because it was once used on old U.S. military campaign hats.

I thought I had posted the new crease in this Penman, so here goes. It started out with a center dent, but I recently changed it up to a diamond crease.

I gotta say, I'm really not liking those hats with the jesus cross in the middle of the diamond crease. What is up with that???

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.

There's a subtle difference between the two, but noticeable if you know what you're looking for:

And here's a real-world example:

Got it, thanks.

Because it's much harder trying to put the Star Of David in the middle of the crease. (But I'm working on it).

You are an artist Ant! Keep the Pony, don't beat a dead horse though. Beautiful crease, looks like it came right out of a 1940s movie!

Wonderful job. Love that ribbon too.

How about a pentagram?

I also did some work on the crease of the Navy Gannon while sitting at our display table. I refined the front pinch and the tall front crease of the diamond. Love this Gannon, it will be put in the rotation this winter. Not just a special occasion hat anymore.

I'd rather not push my luck. Someone else can do that one. I already have enough bad luck to contend with.

Fine looking Gannon, btw.

Maybe a soft diamond with whimsical crown shadows.

Oh, that is a beautifully done crease. Nice!

Thank ya very much. I was going for a Spy vs Spy from MAD, but couldn't quite pull it off. Only made it to alien- esque.

I remember Spy vs. Spy! Maybe my next commission for Mike Miller!
