This is with the center dent, but before I relaxed the front pinch a bit. I'm not sure which way I like it better. For felt preservation, the relaxed pinch would be better.

In my opinion, the center dent is much nicer. I’m not a fan of reverse taper, but you wear it well.

Thanks, Brent.

I guess I can't see the reverse taper in the pictures. I like both bashes equally well and have been meaning to order a custom built "The Penman" to fit me (as opposed to the 2nd hand lid I bought that ended up being too small).

Being able to drive to Hillsboro to visit John is a plus and I have to say, my custom steel Penman fits perfectly, as good or even better than my other customs.

I liked the 6 point diamond when I had it and think I should keep at least one in my stable. I have lots of diamonds, a few center dents.... why not a 6 pt as well?

Just wow in every way.

This is the bee's knees Justin. It looks good with the low slung crown and deep crease. That brim is just nutz!

Thank you! I I've been playing with creases, and I steamed it back to open Crown as best as I could, and I raise the back of the crown up a little bit higher. It just sat too low for my liking. I just love the color combination on this one

I decided to tighten up the pinch on the Penman using the 'three finger' method, as shown here. Steam was used, of course.

I like to apply more pressure to the tops of the 'Y' than the bottom.

I received my Black Creek toyo straw in Ivory yesterday. With a little shaping of the rear portion of the brim it’s ready for some head time. I really like the metal feather as well. In my opinion it’s not to much and it looks like a quality piece and not an after thought by the designers of the hat. The hat is much lighter than the picture suggests. It’s darker than a plain white but not as yellow as in the picture.....hmmm closer to Ivory .

It may be more modern, but the colour and shape are excellent.

1950's Stetson No. 1 Quality Western.

3" BE brim x 6" Open Crown, 3-cord ribbon. Nice Fawn color.

Block #52. Just a quick dry crease by hand. Needs some more brushing & straightening up first.

More tag pics when I figure out the appropriate thread.
