You're right, you should increase the curve on the front brim.

Try to ROLL the front brim down, but without losing the brim curl on the sides, gently WORK the felt.
Here's a video I just did for you: http://youtu.be/2khE7GTjD5Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I was expecting my new Steele & Jones Herbert Johnson Streets of Cairo Replica some time this week and knew this was it! I rushed over after work to find this..

I reached in thru a huge gaping rip in the side. My whole hand fit thru and I felt the hat completely flattened to one side crown and brim smushed sideways! Feeling kinda defeated as this was the second time the post office has done this to my Steele & Jones delivery, I went home without opening it. We have had severe rain in the area for the last few days and so I didnt want to open it and risk getting it all wet.
I wanted to make opening it an event with pics and all but I eventually couldn`t wait!
WOW! To be honest, I was half expecting it be like my first Steele & Jones except with dusting added but this thing is a totally different creature all together!
The color, the shape, the distressing and most of all the sizing are so amazingly perfect. I was never a big " Gotta have the name brand Herbert Johnson label" kinda guy. We have so many Penmans and ABs and Garrisons and the likes that can and have surpassed what Herbert Johnson once was so I couldn`t care less about the label. But this detailed replica makes me wonder what I may have been missing especially if I aquired one similiar to Whipwarriors version.
I know this is not a true Herbert Johnson but Steele & Jones version of what once was but this thing rules! But I feel the true magic of the hat comes from the building process that Diego and company put it thru. The crown shape is extremely accurate in every angle...even those small nuances missing from some hats out there claiming to be Streets of Cairo versions. The color of the ribbon vs felt is accurately matched and the dusting is straight off the screen.
I could not be more happy with this hat purchase. I will give it a proper review and detailed photo shoot as soon as the sky clears up and gives me some sun. The details must be seen to be believed!

Here is my photo album to the recieving and opening of the package. Keep in mind I have not swooped the brim yet but I like this look so much that I may order another hat without the dusting and wear it as such.

Apologies for the poor-quality photos.





Still working on the bash/shape a bit.
