JB, I like that color... but either the crown is low or the ribbon is tooooo wide.
Something just dont look right.

Or maybe it's too much taper? Camera angle? I thought the same thing.

Agree.

 

[jbucklin]

Ah man! Off to the 'Bay it goes!

 

[jbucklin]

Here's a better angle.

And here it is after another attempt at reshaping it:

Did you use your hat shaper on it?

 

[jbucklin]

I did. And although I like it better than the original crease, I'm still not that crazy about the hat.

Part of why it looks the way it looks could be the shaper, man. I own one and, though I don't use it anymore, I remember it elongated the crowns thus lowering the height of the crown. [huh] I could be wrong but that's what I experiences while I experimented with it. Nothing like a good old wooden block.

 

[jbucklin]

Did you have the straight sided dome? It's their latest one, and I don't think it's been out for that long.

How difficult is it to find a wooden block?

Ale, sharp photo with the Dualist. Truly a Masterpiece.

kiltie, cool outfit, looks good.

Jason, great Beaver Brand. I love the color.

Yeah, the straight sided. I still have it. Got it a couple of years ago.
Open crown blocks aren't that hard to find online. Ebay. We're going way off topic. PM me if you have other questions.

Thanks, Manfred.

Finally picked up some camera batteries. Been wearing the glen grey campdraft to break it in and figure out the shape. I tried the thin ribbon for a while, but then switched it out with an old navy one and I still wish it were wider. At just about 2 1/2”, this modified campdraft is currently my widest brim.

Looks great! Wider ribbon would also work, but that one's no slouch in the meantime.

I like the CD with wider ribbon, BJ.

Cooler here this morning - Stetson *******
