Would it be a good idea to order a hat with a dimensional brim (e.g. Akubra Fed IV) but, have the retailer reblock it to a Long Oval? I recently received my first panama. The retailer specially blocked it as Long Oval at my request. That made the brim shorter in front/back by approx .25". So that got me wondering if re-blocking a felt hat to Long Oval would result in a somewhat normal looking brim and, if it would be a good idea in general. I'd prefer the brim to be as uniform as possible and, don't like a brim with over-snap in front/back (a result of regular oval being worn on a long oval head).
