A very difficult one to beat, and it is the hat you ought to wear if It was 50 years ago snd all of them were variations of the same identity.
I really think that one is you.
It seems your oval can be somewhat determined at flanging. Conforming hats is done by creating conformed band blocks, so standardized blocks and flanges are still used.
I recently saw someone on Etsy is selling blocks made with a 3D printer, from a composite plastic of some sort. He claims the material is environmentally friendly. (?)

I bumped an old thread, then started adding to it experimenting with "mending" felt. I've been meaning to update it, becausemy thinking on some of it has changed.
Since then I found a new Superglue product, their "Ultra Gel", which is supposed to stay flexible. I used it on a tear without even...
Also my first Mayser, which should at least fit my head without another hat beneath it.
