Awesome hat. What is the crown height please?
The crown height is not that high - 5.5". It appears higher due to the "tugboat" rake I have creased into the crown. By having the correct angle the middle of the crown keeps the hat off my head, but can create an interesting hat profile. If you look at the pic you can see I have a bit of the top of the crown in the front crease - it adds felt to the crease and allows more "tugboat." I am using the part of the crown that begins tapering. From the side it has the profile of working tugboat - high in the bow and low in the stern. A casual look, IMO, that works well on a thin ribboned hat.
