White & Davis Catalog #20 Fall & Winter 1922-1923 Hats

I like these old catalogs. One thing that stands out to me is, there are a lot of rough creases in the pictured hats (not so much this particular post, but many others). The predominant crease displayed in these hats though... Why did Stetson seem to put these on the taller crown hats and what was this crease called?

If this crease doesn't already have a name, I'd call it the WTF Crease.

Not my style. Maybe it looks better IRL?

Ahh yes, the Buttock crease.

Ahh yes, the Buttock crease.

AKA the Plumber's crease.

Interesting that the hats on the first page all have "beaver" appended to the model name, yet they are Real Nutria quality.

Sure would be nice if one of those velour felts showed up in my size!
