Reshape an open crown hat into a Bogie shape.

[RJR]

I love the Bogie crease more than any other. A deep diamond that's not quite "perfect." It's hard to achieve when you have an egghead like me, the top always bottoms out before the sweatband snugs up against my forehead. So tall crowns and for me, a hat that's a little tighter than my normal 7 1/4 makes it a bit easier.
I'm pretty satisfied with the crease I got in my Knox Twenty. I think it's about as Bogie as I've gotten any hat to look.

Nice look.

I have caribou (grey) Stetsonian that's still in the box after 5 months since it arrived from Delmonico hatter's. It's so beautiful and I have so many other hats that I have not taken it out to play with shaping the crown. Cause I have my center dent temples and my tear drop whippets basically the 2 styles I wear. So thanks for the inspiration. Maybe I'll play around with this shape and see how it fits me

The modern Stetsonian's tall crown makes a great deep diamond crown, in my opinion.
John Penman's Casablanca hat does as well, but that's what it is made for. [emoji3]
