I would like to see a photo of the holder in action from the liner view. Is it period? I've been searching for one, nothing popping up though.

Hereyago, Red.

I only have two holders that came in hats. I don't think they were used much past WWII . You can see the Crease Holder from the above hat here .

There was / is a guy from Cypress selling a box of them on Ebay or Esty. He also posted here. Bob at BSHW bought a box also Josh.

Hereyago, Red.

What search term would bring up this item? I searched Fedora Crease Clip and got nothing.

"Hat clip". Narrowed it to vintage only. Found them on the first page of results.

$33.00 for the whole box. Go for it.

Reviving a thread for research purposes. Of course, I would love to hear some new thoughts.

Yes, that's a given. You are no slouch yourself though.

The two creases that I'm partial to are C crowns and Center dents. I've tried other creases, but I just don't care much for some of them. If I'm creasing an Open Road or some other fedora style from the mid '40s to early '50s era, I like C crowns. If I'm going for more of a '30s fedora style, or if I'm creasing a Western Hat I prefer the Center Dent. There were a ton of creases from those eras that I tried, it's just that I prefer the C crowns and the Center Dents over the others.

Here's a Resistol Stagecoach that I reworked with a Center Dent and a high loose pinch...

Here's another Resistol Stagecoach that I reworked with a Center Dent and a high tight pinch...I don't wear it much, though. I don't care much for the Chestnut color and it's a little snug on me.

'50s era Open Road with a C Crown and high tight pinch. I have to get some more pics of this hat.

Also wore it on my vacation to Mars

I have found that most hats tend to gravitate to a crease;I just go along for the most part.
