Quick review of the different shapes of hat crowns.

You're surely wondering what type of crown your hat has gotand why all that matters.
To answer these questions, take your hat and just read the following article.

Center dent crown



We cannot talk you about it without mentioning Giuseppe Borsalino, pioneer of this type of crown and creator of the eponymous hat. Also known as Bogart or Fedora, these hats are recognizable by their pinched crown. They are mostly different from others which have a geometrical or square shape, hence this success since the beginning of the 1900s. Nowadays, there are several variations of these hats (straw, small brims).

Diamond crown


If when looking at your hat from above, you think you see a kite, you're noot mistaking utterly. That shape is called Diamond because of its four folds and its domed aspect. We can notice that the crown points towards as if an arrow was indicating us un way. This shape is very appreciated since the beginning of the 21st century as it gives you a contemporary style.

Teardrop crown



Halfway between the center dent and the and diamond, folds have been rounded and smoothed to look more natural and less "boorish". Therefore, if the relation song-rain is very strong for you, then wearing a teardrop-shaped hat will perfectly suit you.

Telescope crown



This is the crude shape of a hat crown. It is generally the case of the Porkpie. This oval crown gives the headdress a classic elegance with a retro touch, perfect for every self-respecting dandy. This shape flattens the top of the crown: a finishing note that vintage lovers do appreciate.

Open crown



Round like a balloon... No, no, we're talking about drinks but only about those hat shape recognizable among all others. It's simple: fill the crown and get one of the most beautiful hats of its generation.
