I have an Open Road, and when creased in a teardrop or diamond bash it just doesn't look right on my head. Take a look at BobC's avatar sometime - he's wearing his Campdraft (and wearing it well, I might add.) Looking at it head on, the crown is very square - not really any taper. I love that...
Michaelshane and Gene, I admire your styles! I could picture you both as artists who've escaped the city to work in their country studios, discussing heirloom tomatoes at the end of a creative day at the canvas while sipping single malt. Nice casual style.
As your Dad is an FL'er, and therefore obviously enamored of hats, how great would it be to have a hat of quality made by your son?
Nice work, nice gesture, and Happy Birthday to your father. May he wear that lid in the best of health and happiness.
In an urban setting, having a total stranger walk by and grab your hat easily justifies your actions. You "postured" but in the end, no violence was committed.
One never knows the intentions of the other person. I would think this is an immediate "fight or flight" situation with attendant...
Agreed. Douglas, outstanding shirt/jacket combo, and I never would have thought of pairing them with a fedora of that color - but man, it works! Great style - in the customary Douglas pose...of course!
This is an interesting topic. The cynical among us will say Mr. Depp is over the top and ridiculous with the oversized, unconventionally bashed lid, blue shades, necklaces, etc., while others will recognize Depp is making the style his own.
As we can see daily based on pictures posted on...
I believe I have a Case peanut, with two damascus blades and stag handle - I completely understand the competition for funds for the finer things in life. My Chief Financial Officer (Mrs. Chinaski) reminds me frequently.
Nipper, from another newbie welcome to the forum, and good luck on the lottery so as to further your Fedora Lounge agenda. Who can explain the obsessive admiration we have for hats?
Nice Fed IV, Triple F, and an excellent first bash! I'd be interested in what you think of the Traveller when it arrives. I've looked at it and it's got quite a wide brim - neat looking hat!
A question for the group: So are all of you saying hats shrink? They don't expand? Is this the...
A very fun, informative thread. Thanks to the folks who generously posted photos for our enlightenment. Anyone else care to visit another hatmaker and post? I believe there would be interest from the group!
HP - I think you did a great job! Looks like a perfect summer beat-around hat. You also inspired me. I found an old palm cowboy hat I got in Mexico seven or eight years ago up in the closet. It had a glued cattleman's crease and a cheap plastic hatband treatment. It was maybe a $5 hat. I...
Jabos, that is a beauty! Were I anywhere near Oklahoma I'd consider accosting you and snatching your headware, but as I'm not, I'll need to talk to Art instead. By the way, what is your hat size in case I were plotting a hat-thieving run to Oklahoma? (That question is rhetorical if you...
