Re: I feel like my heels are hanging ove the edge of a precipice

The hat that I've seen with the best TOD bash and taper, is the current "Poet" from Herbert Johnson - I think it's very soft though, and I don't know how it holds up against the weather...

Re: Which Wested????

Personally I own an "off-the-rack" ROTLA style in horsehide. It's very durable, somewhat SA and feels like something Indy would wear in real life. I also think it has broken in nicely. I've had it about a year and it's become softer and softer. There is a picutre here http://www.indygear.c...

Re: Any tips on how to correct this?

Looks to me like it's been lying with the back of the brim against something - maybe a wall. However, I believe that the best solution would be to let it sit on a plain surface (a table - just like on the pic) for some time. It might straighten itself that way. My own beaver blend does straighten it...
