Fedora, Patterson, John, Abner...PB hat..more questions than answers...pics attached!

Hey guys...I posted the questions about my hat yesterday...but now I have some pictures to go along with it...so I am posting again! What can I do about this hat? Will I be able to bash it enough to make it right? All advice welcome!!!! Thank you in advance!!!

Well now, I have to say, like "Obtainer" did yesterday, that PB is the greatest when it comes to customer service...except when Joe Jr. is out of town! Then you have a problem...here's mine..

I got my PB hat yesterday...and it is great! It was made as a hybrid Raiders/LC hat...actual "snap" brim like in LC, but with the high hard pinch in the front like in Raiders...and like "Obtainer" says...it is STIIIIIIIIFF. True wonderful example of great craftmanship...so, what is the problem you ask?

When I took it out of the box, I said to myself "DAYUM this hat is TALL"! Sure enough, when I put it on, it kind of stood WAY up on my head, unlike any other hat had ever fit me...now before you get all snide and snicker at me...yes, I understood that the Indy hat was a tall hat! And maybe it is just my having to compare it to nothing but baseball caps around my house. But is still just seems really TALL...I called PB to talk to Joe Jr. about it, but he was already gone, not to be back until Dec. 20. Joe Sr. said if I had that much problem with it, I should send it back and send Joe Jr. and email about it. I don't really WANT to send it back if this is something i can "fix" myself (i.e. bashing in the crown a little bit more..there is a bit of room between the "bash" and the top of my head when I put the hat on)...so my question is...what do I do? Should I try to bash it a little more? Should I just not worry about it because I am being too picky? Patterson, Fedora, John, Abner.....this one is especially for you guys...Michaelson said to ask you!!!!

Thanks for posting in respons, Fedora...the specs on mine are exactly as they would have been on Indy's hat...with the exception of mine being a 7 1/8 (minus 1/4 of a size...Joe Jr.'s terminology)..5.5" crown..after the bash...2.75" brim in front and back and 2.675" on the sides..dimensional cut, right? Those are the crown and brim dimensions...I am 5'10", 150lbs...slim build with a narrow face and small head..the crown just looks too tall on me, to me anyway. I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow after I get some taken...

Thanks, and any suggestions are welcome!
