Western, anyone?

Beautiful work @T Jones / Terry!

I'm not in your league, but I'm still having fun learning. Started reshaping this Hatatorium custom. I saw this crease on an old western that was on TV a few weeks back. Sort of a Mullet-Center-Fire. Still have some work to do (a few bumps from the old crease -- I did not re-block it) and I want to curl the brim tighter towards the front (similar to yours).

These were the "before" pics. A little too standard-1990s-western for me.

Very nice and unique Bob. I'm with you on the generic crease it started with. Much more interesting now.

Thanks Ed!

I messed around some more with that dirty-dog Stetson that I thought my wife might wear. She does not like high crowns and I lowered it about as much as I could. Still no love...

Current (still need to deal with the glue residue):

I haven't touched this one in a wk or more. I really like the look of this crease I put in...on the table; not one me! The sweat is extremely dry & brittle; splits with just the slightest touch; really needs to be replaced. I'll probably put the hat away until I decide what comes next.

That is nice!!
Thanks Scott.

This original beaded hatband belongs to a guy who no longer posts. I'm checking into having it repoed by a beader I've used. I don't know if I really like that many white beads & it's not as "busy" as I like. I'm thinking of changing the white to bone or maybe a baby blue sky with a darker blue border. The airplanes will be gone.

What say you?

I like your thinking. The planes being removed would give it more of an old school look, which I like.
