For my brim I basically used this tutorial:

keeping a photo of rick5150's brim as a reference. I did not trim the brim, and I don't think I used steam, but I might have used a little bit. Even now I tweak the brim if I have to sit with the hat on my lap for a long time. I curl up the sides while holding the front of the brim down by pressing it against my chest. Then I turn the hat around and do something similar to the back of the brim.
I like the look you have on your hat there russ. You might have said this somewhere already, but what kind is it :?:

Sorry I took so long to reply; I haven't checked in here for a while. It's the brown Akubra regular Federation, size 60, and incidentally the subject of this thread. :)

I now have the gray and black versions shaped exactly the same as this one. So all bases are now covered.
