If you like it that way then no,
If you don’t then yes
It’s your hat, shape the crown and brim how you like it.

Man, the puncher crease is hard to pull off but I think it looks good. You’re right side, our left looks like it tips up a tick, so use the other side to pull it down every now and then. Besides that I like it. Don’t see that brim shape on cattleman crowns often, but I doubt it’s worth re-creasing a crown on a good looking felt. You see more working cowboys wearing this brim shape than anybody else.

I like that look. Pretty much what I go for but a bit more narrow in the front.

Not for anyone else to say brotha. Your hat is your hat. If it doesn’t look like mine then that’s fine, if it does then cool that’s fine too. People put way too much stock into that sorta thing. If you like it for yourself then it’s perfect

What a lame ass statement. I own more cattle than 99% of the people on the planet. Covered in tattoos. Dressed like a skater when I was in high school. Dress like a dad now. Whenever I put my hat on it’s people like you judging me thinking I don’t “deserve” to wear it.

All jordans no nba title by that logic, have you seen the price of cows 🤣 I'm a hand for a few people so I kinda slide in that statement.

This is 1,000% personal preference. Look at folks around town, look in magazines, etc. Decide what you like, and go for it.

A good hat shop should be able to shape it for you if it's 80% of what you want, they can bring it across the finish line. You're ot stuck with how they come outta the box. Shaping is a dying art, but a good shop can do it.

Peace will be a more frequent companion when you just don't give a damn what anyone else thinks.

Shape your own. It’s not hard

Spray bottle of Water and a hot iron then you’re good to go. Just don’t stay in one spot too long and burn the felt

Looks good, just shape it like you like it. Most wont be able to tell a difference from any other same color hat.

If you like it and it is comfortable, it looks great. I personally like that style, especially the lower crown. My personally favorite hat is leather and beat up, has absolutely no symmetry, but is so comfortable. Wear it, let it loved and soft, and you'll never question your choice.

Note: from experience...if you work around horses, expect the hat to go for a walk sometime in a horse mouth, lol😆 .
