What is your favorite hat crease?

[Hurricane Jack]

Some of these free style creases remind me of the turtle lagoon for little coin size turtles I had as a kid.

I had one of those.....it lasted much longer than any of the turtles I placed inside it.

Anyone see this one before?

A bit too Midnight Cowboy ish for my tastes......but that is just me.

What do you think about the shark fin crease? I guess it could be a center fire crease, but it looks more like a fin to me.

NOT my hat.

Interesting Brent. I have a hard time seeing anything but a hat for Glenn Plake. I had to do a couple ski clinics, back in the day with him, and his mohawk was up front, center and demanding attention.

Cowabunga dude! Eric -

Wow! That’s not a man who feels the need to blend in.

 

[MisplacedHillbilly]

Trying some new to me.
Edit to add- I think I need a hat brush

Apparently the "shovel" crease predates modern cowboy hats. Columbia, Missouri, 1912.

As a bump, here is the latest "wonky" crease for a project hat.....hat was re-blocked and re-flanged then I had to add a new ribbon (did not have to replace the binding) off setting the bow towards the rear. Then went to work on the crease......I THINK I am done now.....the front pinches are much better defined than they show up in the photo......my wife says this is now one of her favorite hats (of mine, she really never wears hats).

Hola, Mark! Nice! Haven't seen you post in a while.

The maker calls this the “Detroit Open Road”

This lightning bolt looks simple:

Its what they wear on their way out of town.....crease confuses observers as to the direction of travel.....I hate to say it....but I kind of like it.

I think I do as well…. Has some similarities to a front and back x crease

Was watching Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho today and Dwight Yokam’s crease caught my eye.

Clint’s by the way a bit more subtle but sharp!

 

[Blare]

This Crease was a big part of what drew me to this hat. And I just knew I wanted to put a front pinch on it. Looking back on my previous post… maybe I was inspired by Dwight’s?

For lack of a better word I was calling this ”duel fire”… is there a more accurate name for it?

This 3X LD arrived with a long strong sloped pinch crease to the aft.

Decided to go with it and add my own front pinch to create a sort of 4 Corners Tugboat
