[Blackthorn]

Thanks Job and Jlee.

Not as dark brown.

 

[mooglesrcute]

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, sure appreciate them all.

Yes michaelshane, that looks like a match, any idea what year your hat is there?

 

[Michaelshane]

It's an older one but that's all I know.

When I was looking at buying an Akubra Camp draft, I did google images and up popped a picture of Johnny Depp's brown fedora...

That was enough to seal the deal for me ...

Looking at the way the ribbon is done it is seems likely a Borsalino, probably what would have been called a Ludola or ludora. the modern version called Alessandria has a smaller brim and the felt is just not the same. Doesn't have the proportions and won't shape up like his hat. The Akubra Camp Draft has the proportions but the felt is too thick and stiff to shape the crown like his. I think it would be closer than the Alessandria if you could get the mid brown. A 50's Stetson Open Road could give you the look if you could find one in brown. Johnny's is also a size or maybe two too big for him. Probably doesn't mess his hair up as much as a proper fitting hat.

If you want this look you'll have to go vintage and you'll have to go big . Which means big money and waiting patiently for one to come along.

I've got two like it in different colors and wouldn't part with them for love of money.

I guess Johnny Depp is the new Henry Walton Jones Jr.?

I read somewhere that Gunner Foxx (SP?) makes Depps hats

 

[ingineer]

cappelleria melegari
makes a very nice Depp hat, just be sure that they understand not to relic it

What a shame. There's a man who charges a lot of money to wreck a perfectly good hat.

Nice hat. I currently have a beige cappelleria melegari on the auction block. theyl do one with a 7cm, I have the 7.5 brim, but they wont take the crown down to 11cm; currently resides at 12cm. all that skill and cant do something that seems simple to me. they are terrible at replies and questions, takes a while

"A while" has now been over a month for me.
I think that I'd really rather not bother with folks like that.

I feel ya. I would email them 2-3 times and get half a response every time.

Sorry for the delay, here they are;

I don't have my crowns shaped like his but You get the idea
That's a Ludora and a Ludola

Mine have 2 3/4 and 2 5/8 brims but I've heard tell of bigger brims on some

 

[moontheloon]

those are gorgeous Tommy

wow

 

[tommyK]

Thanks,Moon. the light grey Ludora is a recent get. Just re-blocked, re-flanged and reshaped it.

Super light and thin. They are almost too soft as just a touch changes the shape on these. It's why they tend to have a little "wonk" Like Depp's hat usually dose.
