welcome to cow murcok!

nice hat. if you are looking for the indy look, you may want to pull the side bashes in so that they do not go so far back to the rear. that should allow you to bash in the camel humps easier at the top of the hat. the crown right now looks quite rounded at the top, from the front view, because your side bashes go back so far.

but if you are looking for your own stylized bash and the shape suits you, then thats the only thing that matters. you've definitely got me wanting to get an akubra for my collection.

It's a nice start. A photographing tip, the first pic was taken from a pretty poor angle. Indy hats photograph better from a slight distance than up close. :)

i tried to reshape the hat to make indy styles (raider), and i think it is a little better now.

Thanks for all comments ;-)
