I think there is a certain amount of variation for style in this one ... PLease accept my comments fofr what they are worth - which if you combine them with a buck 50 will get you a cup of coffee at a coffee shop. MY two beefs, looking at a lot of photos around here is that many folks wear their headgear too far bak revealing great expanses of forehead. I would also say that many purchase headgear that is too large. I would say that if should probably sit fairly similar to your flight cap... just above the brow line perhaps a bit lower since there is no visor to contend with, and then the band should sit parallel to the ground along the side of your head to the back, or even rise up a little toward the back - never down.

Most importantly, abuse the heck out of it - that will get rid of the flat pancake sitting atop your head. There is a thread on here somewhere where the owner loads his new balmorals with rocks and throws them in a stream overnight! Abuse it! The trick is soak it well - a sink will suffice if you don't have a stream - wring it out well, place it on your head and shape it by smoothing the material across to the right (or however you want it) and then wear it around the house for the rest of the day allowing it to dry and from to your own head.
