: : Nicely made , good quality felt , and absolutely no taper to the crown.

The thicker felt inherit on PBs and Akubras doesn't lend itself to the sharp Raiders pinch. Pretty obvious why. The Raiders fedora was a lightweight felt, just like my GW fedora, but with some steam and elbow grease a fairly sharp one is possible. It helps alot if you apply a little hat stiffener to the underside of the pinch before doing the exercise. Regards, Fedora
