The mask: Jim Carrey
I'd love to see the progress. Following the hand making of anything is great. And I do agree that the zoot suit just gets a bad rep. Having the moxie to pull off over the top style is not everyones bag and thats why such things look off most of the time. But having staight confidence can make... -

Sport coat and jeans??
Still want to say, you can look casual with slacks. You didn't show us the shoe choice. -

Sport coat and jeans??
Well, if your going to do it you have to make sure it fits the date. I did say "most". Remember the Some guys, if done right part. Will there be dancing/clubbing? Where are you eating? Do you plan on keeping your jacket on or is it an accsessory? There is a recent post on the pages right now... -

Sport coat and jeans??
The thing about "If done well" or "Some guys can pull it off" or "If done right" is that most just don't fit those catigories and don't do it well, can't pull it off and never do it right. Jeans with a sports coat makes me wonder where you lost your slacks? Didn't look smart when it started... -
The nicest comment I ever heard
In downtown Seattle this week, I was headed down the street, whistling into the evening air, as I often do. Stopped at a crosswalk when a woman, arms full of shopping bags toutched me on the shoulder and said " You whistle beautifully." "Thank you" I said. "I'm on the last day of my vacation... -
Zorro Hat
Good form Dan, Good form. Not to many people go in for Zorro the Gay Blade(not a bad flick really) but if anyone wants a good laugh ask for it at your local video store. Well, that is if there are any video stores left. Saw it when it came out and one day thought it would be a good watch... -

Great threads Yeti. I have some patterns for eight panel caps from a place called DL Designs. They supplied historical and vintage patterns but sadly went out of business this spring. Seems I've been busy with other hats and never got around to the eight panel cap. I did make some custom cloche... -
Interesting Site For Hats
I use roan leather sweatbands in brown and black. And since this hat was made I have aquired a Cummings Initialing machine which does the punch style leters, so now I can offer initials or do short names. -

Was wondering if you or Torpedo could offer up any pictures of the new versus original? http://www.blacksheephatworks.com -
Interesting Site For Hats
Your right on jlee. Both of those started as custom builds for customers. The Watcher was one of my favorites, took me a while to find this picture of the inside, but I love this hand painted liner and never really got to show it to anyone. http://www.blacksheephatworks.com -

Like Hell It's Your Hat!
Wild, I seriously turned on my computer just now to ask about the history of these cards. And here I find todays post. This is why the lounge is great. So does any one know where they started? Or is it just one of those commonalities whose origin is lost to time? -
The 'loose' look.
I agree with Jeff here. Proportions are everything. Just because someone else can pull off a style doesn't mean we all can. You have to dress to your shape. That being said, remember that our opinions don't mean much. If you feel good walking around in a loose hat, more power to you. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks Chippy. Been making hats for a bit, so I have a good set of blocks growing. This is a full reblock and flange job, new sweat and liner. Did keep the original hatters bow though. First time I've thought to turn a vintage inside out. This will change my whole perception when looking at hats... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Posted this in new hats earlier, but just about to step out in it so I thought I would throw it in the ring here as well. Bought this the other day. Pretty dirty and a couple moth bites. None of the the damage went all the way through, so I reblocked it inside out. Started as a 6 7/8 now it fits... -
The Inspector Gadget Bandit in Fort Worth :-O
Agreed, but if his hat had a light and he left of gadget skates??? No he still just doesn't have what it takes. -
Post New Hats Here!
The color was really what sold me. This one has changed my whole outlook on how to pick a vintage hat. Can't wait to go shopping again.
