: I read somewhere that when your hat is put on/removed from

: hands to avoid the felt in the crown from getting worn and prone
: to holes. Apparently that when the felt is creased as in the

: just an Urban Legend?
: Comments anyone?

It eventually happened to my very first Stetson, but as been pointed out, it came from years of handing the crown AT the pinch, a real no-no if you don't want that hole to appear. Regards. Michaelson
