What kinds of temperatures are we talking about here? I am by no means a 3d printing expert, but I can ask around the Replica Prop Forum, which deals in all sorts of those kinds of trades.
You know, I was thinking about this the other day...what needs to happen is to connect hatters with 21st century technology. Old blocks can EASILY be replicated with a simple scan and 3d printers.
Had some free time to tweak the crease in my Torino. Popped the center part out because it was touching the top of my head. Had to dampen the felt to get this to hold.
Pretty happy with the result.
floppiness and stiffness have very little correlation to the quality of the felt.
As far as the religious hats, I've heard that they are made to more rigorous standards generally (but not Borsalino specifically). The few I saw from a few feet away on my recent trip to NYC appeared to be of...
I love my new to me vintage Borso. They just don't make them like they used to. If you're patient, you can usually score a vintage Borso for significantly less than the cost of one of the new models.
If you're deadset on buying a new Borso, my personal favorites are the Alessandria and the...
It's probably vintage. If you want vintage, search ebay.
If it is a Borso, it's likely an Alessandria, it's Borso's take on the Open Road/Stratoliner. Still available, but modern ones are not as of good quality. You might also be interested in the Akubra Campdraft, which is the same style...
The 1000 should resist a good amount of rain, as it is 100% beaver. Think of where beavers live....in the water. That having been said, it is never good to soak a hat to the core, it is possible it can shrink or taper, in which case you'll need to have it reblocked.
There's a lot that someone who flippantly calls any young person a "Hipster" doesn't know about hipsters. Not the least of which is apparently how to determine who is, or is not one.
Like I said, I simply think it is more logical to reach conclusions based on more than "gut feelings" about...
You're right, the predisposition against younger hat wearers as "ironic" hipsters is quite boring, especially when it comes from the "golden era" crowd of supposed manners and propriety.
Pardon me for interpreting the English langauge literally.
Or perhaps you were posting ironically?
As a social scientist, I merely believe that conclusions ought to be rational and fact based, rather than casual assumptions made by superficial observation.
Ahh, the good ol' judging the book by its cover. Fantastic.
In any event, that wouldn't really make their hat wearing ironic. Not by the dictionary definition anyway. Supposing they're wearing hats to be trendy, it's the exact opposite of wearing them ironically.
....don't really know how you come to that conclusion. I don't consider myself a fashion aficionado, but I do know folks who run in those circles. A friend of mine (whom I'm visiting this weekend in NYC) is heavily immersed in the fashion world and has what is, I assure you, a very un-ironic...
