A couple of recently fine-tuned vintage lids - Lamson & Hubbard (tan) and Royal Stetson (gray).
^ I'm sure those creases would make the OCD crowd manic, but I really dig their perfect imperfection.
It's neat to spot those hats with finger marks from the shaping, you just know how nice that felt is. Its fun to see a hat like that stay the same through several scenes. I wish I could get my BGCD into some of those unusual shapes.Yes, the older hats are easier to put an organic crease into. Modern hats don't move as well.
When I watch old movies I keep an eye out for hats with these types of creases, and, quite frankly, get excited when I see them.
Now THAT's a diamond!Greetings All:
Here’s my Inspetor Gadget stingy with what i call a True Diamond Double Dent.
Not sure what others call it but this is pretty much how it came and likes to be.
Knox Forty Custom Edge, lost liner.
This is my quicky hat. Quick grab and go or bash and grab if you like. Lol

Thanks Bowen. It was a Cattleman crease until I lowered the fenders & changed it up a couple yrs ago. Could stand a bath though. Brim is 3.25".View attachment 136513 View attachment 136514 View attachment 136515
Wow Jack!!
This one’s just about perfect for a non-black hat!
My most favorite color contrast!
I love this hat Jack!!
Here’s a 30 second kinda center crease for reference from a similar hat.
Be well. Bowen
