Gene,

That is a beautiful 7X! It looks great in any crease but to me it looks fantastic in this cattleman's crease. It looks so natural in it. Was that the crease it was in when you acquired it?

Well, you're certainly right about that. As agreeable as this hat is, it does seem to want that cattleman's crease most. I, however, was hung up on the teardrop. I think it was basically a high quality Open Road when I got it. Had the thin ribbon and edge binding on the brim. The brim, though, was the widest I'd ever encountered on a size 7 hat. Looked like the thing was wearing ME. So I shook up some folks around here when I trimmed away about a 1/4" all around and converted it to what you see me wearing.

(That's the backstory to why my avatar is a guy with a knife sneaking up on a guy with a hat.)

Also, even though the felt takes a dry crease, I eventually did my water treatment to get a much better teardrop than the quasi-diamond "bash" shown in the sample pics.
