Hey Doughboy ... if you're going for the "crab rangoon" crease on your campaign hat, you're going to have to use more egg-wash to get those edges to stick together.
Wow—that is priceless. Those crazy prep schoolers dressing like country bumpkins!Not an exact fit for this thread, but I really enjoyed the 1938 hat article posted by @rlk back in 2013:

Wow, that's impressive. How difficult is it to maintain??As a bump.....My modern Imperial Stetson "Norwalk", not my favorite but rather incorporates favorite elements....a quad or four corner pinch as well as a creased and raised center (gives me more head room). It always gets compliments.

Well...on this particular hat the felt is thick and hard to work.....took a LOT of steam and patience....BUT.....once set....the hat likes it and it has been quite easy to wear with no maintenance.Wow, that's impressive. How difficult is it to maintain??

Not the same but a little take on your crease as this coffin hat has a center crease from being rolled up in its box. Just figured I’d have a little fun.As a bump.....My modern Imperial Stetson "Norwalk", not my favorite but rather incorporates favorite elements....a quad or four corner pinch as well as a creased and raised center (gives me more head room).

Post of the day, right here!
Yes..........one must do what the hat wants.....the hat knows.Either I failed or I went over board. My coworker that loves my hats said this crease looks a little to fancy to wear. View attachment 477129
My intention was initially to have an overall teardrop with the raised center in the shape of a triangle similar to one of Adam's Hats on the style card from around page 7 or 8. Instead I ended up with a double tear drop. As I was trying to create the triangle center design it felt like I was fighting with the hat and it wanted to be a double teardrop instead.
