: WOW? the hj tapers after time? that's not good news. How can it do that? does the felt shrink or something?
: Well, I for one would love to see some before and after pics.
: Incidentally, my hj came with somewhat of a taper. I was going to send it back, until I figured out I could push the side dents in more towards the back and emulate the Raiders look perfectly. Anyone else have this prob?
: Cheers,

The taper sort of developed after 5 years of solid use,this is a hat that until my PB was worn every day to work as well as bushwalking and horseriding in all weather.The tapering has given the whole crown almost a domed look.I really hope JoeJnr can put some shape back into it as it cost an absolute fortune.
The major issue will be the reblock but i would also like a slightly wider ribbon.
Of the two real contenders i would still pick PB anyday of the week.
