Yeah Zombie, I've been fiddling with mine just about everyday. It's amazing how much these conform to your head. I've been wearing mine for a couple of weeks and it fits perfectly. It's got a lot of rain the last week. Ha I put on my Stetson OR (New Model) yesterday and it was like... -
What do you use to shave?
Hey. Just found this thread!!! Being a newbie in hats, I was drown to this Forum. I'm a member of several shaving forums, but don't get in them as much as here. Nice to have a place to read about shaving. I'm a collector and user. I used to buy and trade, but I don't buy nor get rid of any...- Cap_7597

Thanks Bob! I was going for not perfect. It went this way first try! I wet it down really good and it was like clay. I like the diamond much better! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'll check that one out again. I went mainly off yours this time. But I do remember now that he had one right after yours with a drawing to boot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hahahaha. Thanks Moon. I think I was scared of the tall crown when I first got and tried my best to lower it. I know, rookie move. Ha I really like the diamond a lot more! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Thanks Preacher. I did have it in a diamond shape. But it made it look like an Aussie hat to me rather than an old school fedora. That's what I'd more like it like. This being my first Open Crown I know it's not going to be perfect. It is for sure going to be my own expression! Haha. Sent... -

More like this moon? The front crease I'm having problems getting like yours. But this hat just might not like it. Haha. It keeps coming back to this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Ok, here's my attempt at a more diamond shape. I have a pretty good crease around the edge that I'm trying to work out. Here's a few questions: Do the creases need to be tighter? Did I go too far in on the front and back with the center crease? Do the side look like they are supposed too... -
Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements
Akubra CD's first rain shower... I'm impressed! I did notice the bad part of this teardrop crease is that water will pool at the top in the gullies. Have plans to re-bash this weekend to make a taller crown height. Also try a simpler diamond crease. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

So, I've worn my CD for about a week and think I might have pushed my crease down too far with the Tear Drop crease. Can I push it back out and try another crease? Maybe a C or Diamond? Also my side creases are not wanting to define. I just used a little steam when I bashed it. Sent... -

I put a little more steam to it and going to see if that works today. If not, I'll try your way Zombie. I'll have off tomorrow so I can give the hat ample time to dry. :) Thanks for all the help. I can tell this morning that the sweat has shrunk a little already. Love this hat!!! :) Sent... -

I put steam on it last night and wore it all day today. My side bashes popped out a good bit. Do I just put more steam on it tonight and set the sides again? Or can the top bash push it flat on the sides if done improperly? Meaning I'll have to fix the top? Sent from my iPhone using...
