How much crown is too much

[zetwal]

The line between too little and too much is a fine one indeed!

 

[Feraud]

I wonder what block they used for the one on the left..

 

[J.T.Marcus]

That's what Roy Rogers' hat looked like, before he put the double teardrop in it!

 

[Delthayre]

Sentient, mind-controlling super-hat

I wonder what block they used for the one on the left..

The nearest convenient mountain.

 

[Tiller]

It looks like someone is a Calvin Coolidge wannabe lol.

With Bob Hope, nothing was ever too much. lol

Is that LBJ standing behind Cal?

Is that LBJ standing behind Cal?

I'd venture to say no, as Coolidge was president in the early 20's and LBJ assumed command when Kennedy was shot in 1963. Coolidge and the gent behind him appear to be nearly the same age.

I don´t think it was originally meant for normal head lol

I see I should have used the sarcasm emoticon:

I don't think any of those photos depicts too much crown but maybe this one does,

Maybe a wee bit too much reverse taper but otherwise crown OK.

Goes with the hair.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, as long as there are ladies that dig it, there's no such thing as too much crown.

 

[Guttersnipe]

When a man is holding a peacemaker like so, there is little room for debate...

 

[Wojo]

You have to love Bob Hope!

I would never have guessed that Cal was such a screwball. I mean that hat has got to be a gag right? It looks as though the felt is about an inch thick, and the whole thing is over-the-top BIG,....
The jacket he's wearing is stylin' though I must say.

 

[The Good]

Wow, the hat on the left is tooooo high... He wears it better than I would though! On the other hand, the man on the right has the perfect crown height for his head.

Is that the skull of a Hun? Funny, apparently they may be some of my ancestors, but that's not to say anything of the large skull; that was cranial deformation put in place from birth! Seems to have been a gruesome process.

doncarlos, I got a chuckle out of that one

I once read that the crown height of your hat should be the same as the distance from your chin to your eyes.

Hi

To quote someone else here at FL, Tom Mix thought he was Calvin Coolidge. That hat has a rolled brim, it's not really that thick. That style was popular in his day, cowboys were still cowboys, but there was enough money around (not the depression yet) to blow on a nice drinking hat.

The Beldar Conehead block.
