        In Gavs case I did not send as he wanted meg dome version, in your case when we parsed the "want list" we missed it.  Sorry….G

          Not to worry G.  I think I'm probably looking for something with a bill that has a cardboard insert so that I can shape it anyway.

            Not so fast, these bills can definitely be shaped.  I have two of the 06's and both bills have what I would consider a fine shapely curve to them, not a super narrow bill I'll grant you, but it works. Of course it takes some consistent reinforcing and shaping via pint glasses when you're not wearing it (I can post pics of how i treat mine) or your hands while wearing, but I wear a hat every day and I don't believe it to be a lot of work, I am just repeatedly shaping the bill how I want it and when I take it off I make sure its resting in a good position, its like a pair of jeans.  You can see a bit of the curve of this one, its almost a year old so the curve is totally set.

                If it's not too much trouble, a close up shot of the curved bill would be great too.  I'm intrigued to see how much of a curve you can get.

                  Damn, wish I was asked that question more often…

                      Anyone pick up one of these yet? I'm thinking black but I'd like to see some fit pics.

                          One makeshift method of shaping the bill when its not on your head.  I took it off my head holding the bill how I wanted it to stay and placed it on the table resting as similarly as possible.  These containers have pastels in them so they are weighted.

                            Thanks for the photos Adam.  And now the bill of the cap holds the curved shape without the weights?

                              The bill relaxes if I take the containers away, but its still curved enough to get it back as soon as I put it on, and gradually the resting curve gets better and better, this one is still pretty new.  The time it takes to train the fabric is a small price to pay for such a comfortable cap.

                                Mmm, ok.  Something to think about.  Thanks for your answers, Adam.

                                    ^^in need of a wash, but glorious, the curve holds its shape like well worn knee-combs.

                                    Note to all: If you enjoy wearing caps, do not let something trivial like bill-curve diameter cloud your mind, these things will do whatever you need them to do, after they are done being stubborn, of course. but that is the fun of raw clothing.

                                      I really want a black one of these but I keep going back and forth on sizing (i'm right at 22.5" head size). Anyone wear these hats on the smallest setting? I'm wondering how much material bunches up on the smallest setting.

                                        and if the leather strap really should stuck out too much for you, you can cut it with a scissors…

                                          I wear between a 7 & 7 1/8 fitted cap.  Not much bunching at all on mine, and any bunching you get will just provide a crease where EVO can happen, which is awesome if you ask me.

                                          Thanks for the picture. I'm sold.
