Pared down and quietly confident. The crown rises about four inches to a crisp diamond peak, and the lines stay smooth and uninterrupted – there are no front pinches at all. Instead, the front tapers to a clean V, like the prow of a small sailboat, giving the whole hat a streamlined profile unlike anything else I make. Keep the brim on the shorter side. It suits a narrow ribbon, and looks right with everything from Euro tailoring to jeans and an aloha shirt.
