SHAPES
Oval
The oval crown is similar to the open crown style. However,
rather than being a soft, flexible felt, the crown is a hard
block intended to stay in the round shape. The most popular
style of hat which uses this block is the Bowler style hat or
polybraid panama style.
Telescope
The telescope crown is a round shape crown similar
to the end of a telescope. It has a ridge along the
outside and a raised part in the middle with a slight
dip in the front.
Pinch Fedora
Great for unisex wear the pinched Fedora can be a soft felt
or hard felt hat with an indented crown approximately
9- 10 cm in height and a soft brim 8 cm wide. The crown is
typically 'pinched'' into a point at the intersection of the
top and the sides of the crown on the front of the hat
Teardrop Fedora
The teardrop crown (fedora) is blocked with a teardrop
shape, narrower at the front of the hat and rounded
towards the back. The front is typically pinched.
The front of the hat is blocked higher and slopes down
slightly towards the back.
Flat Top
The flat top crown is exactly what the name sounds like.
Rather than having a shaped or rounded crown, the flat top
crown is flat across. This style of crown is seen on top
hats and boater hats.
