SAME!Just to be clear, I gave you a "like" for the hat, not the shingles.

That is a stunning long hair Stefan. Love the creamy tone with the black ribbon. Gang busters coat as well.

The brim and ribbon really make this one stand out. Great looking hat, especially in black.

Tonak "Mongol" probably early 1960s. I pulled this one out because of the frigid temperatures. It was made for the Soviet Union market. Very nice Velour with decent components for the time period / market. Some nicks to the ribbon.

Hey folks!
Despite what Fruno may say, no baby seals were harmed in the making of this 50's Tonak Seal Velour.
Now, I won't even try to claim that no European Hares were harmed...
Have a great day!

This is the hat I wish I was wearing today...But I must have been naughty this year,because the gift I got for Christmas was The shingles.Spend Christmas day and night in the hospital,first ever.I have it on my head my face and right eye.The bad part is I can not put on a hat it hurts my head.I now have to leave the house feeling naked.Hope everyone else is doing better than me.
Get better, Chuck. I hope it's a quick bout.
Nice hat.

It will take some getting used to but it works for you. Nice 6XT Jones made the suggestion that rather than converting (or making crude attempts at converting) all the western hats I've been buying to fedoras, I should try wearing some of them as westerns. I know, novel idea.
First attempt is a 6X Stetson that I took some of the curl out of the brim:
This is all new to me.

I've never seen anybody do it that way. That's bass ackwards. Normally, you establish your center line and go from there.
Of course, it's Australian. Turn the instructions upside down and they make sense.

I don't know what the "best way" is but I'm just like you and I always do the center crease first. I don't know that there is a wrong way. I'm also certain that there is nothing special about Akubra open crown hats and what works on other hats will work just as well on your Campdraft.

I always start with a center dent in the crown first. I put the hat on, then put a toothpick behind the ribbon, right in front, in line with my nose. That helps me to get the center dent straight.
