I don't understand. Do you actually alter the shape of the hat? How is that even possible? (I know nothing about hats or how they are made - or remade.)
Yes. It was completely altered and reworked from a Western style to a '40s era style fedora. I reshaped and resized the crown on a vintage wooden hat block similar to these...
That gives me the "Open Crown" shape I want and afterward I crease it. The brim will be cut to width and then I reshape that on a vintage wooden "brim flange" to give me the brim style I want. Afterward I sew in a new leather sweat band and ribbon.
