No offense, 3thou, but is there a reason you can't contain all your Winston hat posts in one thread? I can see bumping your original post, but it's a bit redundant to keep starting new threads just to advertise it. If you let me know which thread you wish to contain everything in, I can lock down the others so to keep everything in one place and the halls tidy. :wink:

(I still wish my FedIV would've worked for you, btw. :wink:)

Bink, the bump on the old post was my doing, was combing thru the way-back machine and found a common thread (pun intended) to 3KB's theory.

And to point out that he has been at this for some time.

I realize that, Piker, but this thread was started after your bump. I'm just trying to keeping a clean house, since it makes perfect sense to keep this in one or two threads instead of continuously adding new ones, especially since there is a direct link to the "sales" thread here, making this one a bit redundant. Besides, I get to clean out the deadwood in this section that accrues over the months, so if I can cut down on that work ahead of time... :wink:

$3K, i tip my hat back when it's hot out for sure....but i find it most comfy when it's sitting on my brow.

i'm not sure i understand though......why is the finished winston so tight? is it the block? you're saying that your finished hat will be a sub 57 sized hat which means a 57 head will need to tip it back for a comfy fit. what if you're a size 56.....you can wear it normally then?

i really do like that back tilt and its been a quest of mine for some time now. i have a couple of nice AB's that are perfect in the crown except for the back tilt and i just don't have the heart to beat the stiffener out of it to get that effect (per steve's observations). i do like the idea of a block that will provide this feature.......i just wish yours would fit me :wink:

Well, if you've already read the first threads and decided a really tight hat is a completely ridiculous idea, out of the question for comfort reasons, you might not bother to read it anymore when the old thread resurfaces for a moment. I was just trying to get some to rethink the comfort issue. But everyone's seen it by now, :wink: so I don't mind if you put this and the pinball thread under the "Who wants a Winston 360?" thread.
