grammy hat??

[Baron Kurtz]

It's not like Vivienne Westwood is well known as a custom hatter.

It looks like he is a long oval as you can see the sides of the sweatband in some straight on shots of him wearing it. So the "hat" is not a great fit or a well made custom hat.

Ok

until now. my grandkids say this singer is cool like me ? good to know my grandkids think im cool.......

I have a few relatives that are in the music biz some very famous & some not....contacting me for proper hat info....
Ok
well now I know that catchy tune from that fun film I watch with my grandkids is all about......

Che hats are just about being Happy is we all know hats put smiles on peoples faces. Especially the ladies

I like the hat in the frame of that 2nd video. Any idea what that may be? I am new to the hat game and my first special one is eluding me. I do like the look of that one though! I guess I am a fan of the super flat wide brim.

 

[KOOLKERNEY]

Sorry to keep this thread going haha. But after actually watching that video, I think my favourite is the one seen at the end, accompanying his jersey or whatever that is he's wearing. I guess my ultimate question (which probably isn't appropriate for this thread, but hey, we're here) is does he straighten the brim on his hats? Seems straighter than anything I have seen, and I have been obsessively watching EBay and the classifieds here for my future love.

Pharell is wearing a custom beaver hat that has been flat flanged. You would have to see it on your head to see if you could be HAPPY with it on your head. His facial structure lets him put the flat brim flange off. No everyone can. Western hats styles have flat brims sometimes
But Fedoras are general have a curved flange. As they are made to be less stiff.

Well played & relatively fast too...

That looks like a Roadster that's been taken out of the box and "distressed". I wonder if it's the retailer who's taking the initiative here.

I think perhaps so as it does have a leather band that Pharrell's hat does not and lacks the inner sweatband. Could be their way of avoiding some kind of copyright infringement as well.
Interesting either way.

Interesting article about the history of Pharrell's hat - which was produced by Vivienne Westwood over 30 year ago.

At the same link, don't miss the Buffalo Gals hip hop video featuring Ms. Westwood's hats.

Here you go....Pharrell inspired hat from the Village Hat Shop. $295! I'm sorry, but that's ugly! Looks like somebody sat on it and then tried to pop it back out.

Sorry. Looks like someone else already posted the link to this.

That Village Hat Shop hat looks just like an Akubra Bushman, vent hole and all.

Was watching a TCM movie the other night "The Bride Came C.O.D." a comedy from 1941 with James Cagney and Bette Davis. A character "Pop Tolliver" played by Harry Davenport wore this hat;


Could this be the inspiration?
