Adam Ant

[Maj.Nick Danger]

there is something Jack Sparrowish going on there! Maybe Mr Ant should have a guest role in the last Pirates movie?

I think he invented that whole neo-pirate thing, matey.

Adam-Bad-Ant?

Just noticed that device on his belt,...looks very sinister!

 

[Benny Holiday]

That 'e did indeed, me hearty

There was no one else like him back in the early 80's, was there? Only last year a friend loaned me her treasured Adam Ant box set, and I learned from the extensive booklet that went with it that he knew the Sex Pistols very well and was also a pioneering Punk artist back in the late 70's. Very interesting fellow.

So does that make the fedora a natural progression from the tricorn hat?

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Sure it does.

He just skipped about 200 years of hat evolution.
I wonder if the tri cornered hat will ever come back in style?

 

[Benny Holiday]

Well if it doesn't, it won't be for lack of trying on the part of the merchandisers of the Pirate movies. They're marketing the living daylights out of anything and everything they think teens and pre-teens will buy that's associated with the fad they've built out of the movies. I've been waiting for kids lining up to have their eyebrows pierced to be replaced with kids getting their legs cut off below the knee and getting wooden 'peg-legs' put on instead! lol

Tricorns would still be cooler than baseball caps!lol

I just remembered being 13 years old and wearing my zinc cream at the beach painted across my nose in a stripe to imitate Adam! Ah, those were the days!

And were you wearing your official Adam Ant tri corner hat too?
(C'mon,...admit it! lol )

 

[Benny Holiday]

Ha ha!

Major, if I'd have known where to find one, I ceratinly would have worn it! lol

Classic Style celeb interview options...

Wouldn't the likes of Van Morrision and Adam Ant be really interesting interview subjects for the Classic Style magazine, as I have always associated them as staunch hat wearers.
Adam Ant looks 'great' in his middling years wearing a hat. Class Act!

Couldn't one just take an untrimmed hat blank and fold up the sides? I was watching "The Patriot" the other day and that's all the poorer guy's hats appeared to be, no finish or binding to the edges. Just a couple loops of twine to hold the flaps up.

Nearly had a tricorn. Was very tempted.

Then I decided that guys kind of look better in them than I ever would, particularly Messrs Ant and Sparrow.

Who here has a tricorn?

I do. I've also got my stockings, and patterns for front-fall breeches and a hunting shirt, though that's as far as I got towards my Leatherstocking look. That and a few small accoutrements, like my flint, steel, and tinderbox, possibles bag, etc.

I've had one back in the days when I was doing the Eastern Longhunter reenactments and reading everything Mark Baker had to wride in Muzzleloader Magazine. I had bought it as a raw flat brimmed hat at a Mountain Man Rondezvous, folded up the three sides and did a quick tack (X) stitch to hold it in place. Wore that poor hat out.

Cheers!
