Brim warp reverseal?

Post by 3thoubucks »

I might have invented "The turn", but the effect seems TO WEAR OFF and REVERSE IT'S SELF!
Talkin' about the brim warp here. ... When I turn a new hat, the brim dips in front of my right eye, without fail. But if I wear that hat for months, THE DIP MOVES FROM IN FRONT OF My RIGHT eye, TO, in front of my LEFT EYE! I've seen this happen on my last two hats, which have been daily wearers for years!
In the Raven Bar rehersal shots, Indy pinches the brim in front of his right eye with his left hand, and while holding it, folds the right brim up with his right hand, creasing the brim and re-enforcing the right eye dip.

So basicly, maybe he didn't need to bend the brim in the first shots, then needed too later?

If your turned hat has displayed this .. reversal, speak NOW!
