Help My Brim!

Post by Undecagon »

Here are some pics of my 2 year old Keppler Fedora. The bash is holding up well (sometime I feel like the pinch has moved a bit off center, but then convince myself it hasn't....) But the real issue is the brim. I feel like it's too flat and sticks out too wide. I'd like the Ravenwood Bar look, but not sure what/how to do to it. Thoughts?

That hat is unturned. If you want to get that signature Raiders swoop, you need to place the hat on your head straight, turn it to the right (so that the bow is moving towards the center of your face, and then crease it. You will need to pop out the crease it has now and recrease if you want to turn the hat. A little cold water will help in taking it out and putting a new crease in.

Do the turn before you adress the brim size.

What dims do you measure at the sides then the front and back of the brim?

I might turn it, but I sure wouldn't take any off...
