I like it, although I must say that's the strangest bash I've ever seen. -Mulceber
It is a strange bash is'nt it. I tried poping it out and it just goes back. I did not use water nor steam on it yet. I like to keep my hats the way I found them for a while before changing their look.
Deanglen there is nothing wrong with the hat just my personal taste for what I think looks best on me.

Could it be the ribbon? Bit wide isn't it? The more I compare it to your other hats I think I can see what you're saying, I just can't quite figure out why. Color, perhaps? The crown has that lower in back look, maybe it's that, too.

With a ribbon that wide, you might want to try a 1920s look with a center dent and no side dents.

To me, in front view it looks similar to that de-edged Cavanaugh that I like a lot. In side view, however, it looks different, and it must be the bash that changes the profile.

wonderful hat! that's a wild bash-that works ( I think) becomes very
sculptural and flows with the rest of the lines of the hat; not being conven-
tional, with the ribbon size, et.al., maybe the bash was meant to be...
Douglas, you got the eye, my man. Enjoy it!

I love your hats,
However, I'd love to see a nice smile on your face in at least one picture, Doug. I giggle thinking that you happliy and excitedly post your new hat(s), yet look so damn angry in all of them...
Oh well, whatever floats your boat.
[huh]
Great hat, by the way!

I guess I'll have to try the Douglas 'happy face' next time I post a hat.
Cheers!

I'd be curious to see the writing on the sweat/liner.
I have a Borsalino from Higbee- seemed to be a department
store rather than a hat maker. But who knows.

Higbee's
Higbee's was a department store that existed in Clevland OH . They were bought out I believe in the 1980's and carried a nice selection of hats from Stetson and Borsalino .
