Hold on to that weather for next week, Karl. Great looking hat on that family trip there. That's what's wrong with us hat collectors (admit it: we all are): as soon as a picture comes along we are looking for the hat in it (it's like finding Waldo).

What an amazing photo! You and the family are looking great sir!

Wow!!!! What a beautiful image Karl. It has everything going for it, beautiful kids, castles and a HAT! It also needs to be cross posted in the "Fedoras Afield" thread.

Beautiful picture,thanks.

I'm sending you a PM.

With an assist and some direction from Redfokker I have my first hat from Mike at NW Hats on order. Its his "Perfectly Simple" design in Silverbelly. Can't wait. Trying to put together a good collection/rotation of hats. Never too late to start I suppose...

My Stetson Whippet Premiere just arrived. This is my first time shaping an open crown. I tried a diamond bash. Any tips or things I should change?

nice job

I like mine to look a little more like this when working with modern felt ... gives it nicer lines and a tighter look ... also widens the crown nicely

just my preference though

Thanks Moon. I will try and emulate the crown on the photos you just posted. With my first time shaping a crown I wanted to leave everything pretty loose before I tightened everything up and used a little steam.

Makes sense. Too tight a crease and ghost creases can certainly remain if yer not sure of where you wanna be.

Thank you sir!

Well I tried to emulate the photos from Moon and sadly failed miserably, lol. I resorted to an attempt at a teardrop crown. I had to use a little steam to get this one to cooperate. How did this turnout?
