These are very mouldable hats, very soft and pliable...I have bashed a lot of slouch hats in my time, when issued unabashed, there is a very high crown, lots of fabric to mould and play with....more than likely these hats were bashed for them by their training staff, and everyone has their own "perfect" method they use, do as long as the shape is right there is a lot of variation....my first slouchy was bashed by my section commander...over the years you pick up your own style, or you find a mate who can do it, or use the stsndard bash block.....using a bash block gives you a higher crown, and quite frankly looks stupid!!! So once it's go the basic shape, you normally spend the next few weeks mouling it yourself till it looks right!!!!
