Richard, I think the best solution is to try to give it a less erratic form. With the Borsalino felt, it is usually not difficult. I would try to make the brim a little more flat with only the last part of the brim raised. You can always try.Got this Borsalino a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been wondering what to do with it. No ideas yet so I think I’ll just wear it.
Thanks Eric. I try to do my best everyday to smile at life and the Flechet help me in my aim.
Max, I have some hats in storage because they need some works. Here some examples

Borsalino Misto Tunnel, size 6 The lining is loose and it need to be resized to its "old" size because it shrinked
Flechet size 60 cm. new and unfinished, no bow. It needs some works to be wearable
M. Hutter size 58 needs a complete refurbishment. Cut the hair, new size and ribbon
Often I pause to think if it's worth it, then others arrive or I open some cases and I remember some forgotten, so the hats to resize, refurb, restore, often it's a matter of millimeters or bow, wait too long
Max, maybe I explained myself badly. To cut the fur to the felt means to make it shine or luster, a "melousine" finish, very rare today and with a silk ribbon could become a memorable hat
I have an Optimo Melusine, Daniele, look.Max, maybe I explained myself badly. To cut the fur to the felt means to make it shine or luster, a "melousine" finish, very rare today and with a silk ribbon could become a memorable hat
Bay the way I think your precedent supplier "Optimo hats" in Chicago has some hats in "Melousine" finish, if I remember well
Alden 403 Moc Toe Boot - Brown Chromexcel - $680 The classic "Indy" style Alden Boot in the classic Horween brown Chromexcel. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - #395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Himel Bros. - The Ross Mk. 1 Leather Jacket Classic D-pocket motorcycle/aviator style jacket.
Yes, this is what I mean.I have an Optimo Melusine, Daniele, look.
Excellent, Brent!A favorite: Charles Royce

Wonderful hat, Bill.
Very nice, Daniele. The felt looks fantastic.This Flechet is one of the many French hats I bought a few years ago in Strasbourg
It has remained for years in a box, new and never worn, but too large for my head
I decided to send it to Fleur in the Netherlands for a slightly resize.
It is back and honestly I regret not having it reduced by a few millimeters before
Flechet Qualité Junior 09, color (nuance) Mammouth size is 60 cm.
The heather felt is a mixing of black, deep grey and light grey. It is soft and malleable. Without lining, only a tip in the crown
Thanks for your like on the last week hats.
My compliments for you loungers that everyday showed the best
Lovely combination of browns there, Richard.Champ
Y’all have a great week

My Gannon Silver mist is kinda stiff, too. Must just be the dye process at Winchester.
If it were my hat, I think I'd leave the Flechet a Long Hair. It looks pretty good that way, IMO.Richard, I think the best solution is to try to give it a less erratic form.
