M.I.S.C.H.I.E.F. (Mainly In Stingily-Cut Hats Is Excellence Found)

[docneg]

This Rorschach hat is my ideal stingy, I think

Did you ever notice how Ditko drew The Creeper, The Question, and Mr. A all wearing stingies with wide bands? Makes you wonder what he covers his head with.

Here's a chocolate brown Knox Hallmark with a 2" brim and a 5" crown.

Anyone know if it's possible to change the name of a thread that you've started? (I think that "MISCHIEF" would in fact be better as "Mainly In Stingily Cut Hats is Excellence Found".)

If you still have the EDIT option on your first post, then there is an GO ADVANCED option that should give you a chance to edit the name as well. HTH

 

[Visigoth]

Brilliant! Thanks! (I'll keep updating it as we come up with better interpretations.)

I Love My Stingies....

I think I might have way too many to post here though....[huh]

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Bolty, let's see your top five.

A big YES to the Tom Waits inclusion. :eusa_clap

They need identifying!

daizawaguy: I'm particularly keen on knowing what the top three are. Also the blue one bottom left. Deep Mischief.

1. Dobbs 22 Guild Edge
2. Dobbs 20 Guild Edge
3. Dobbs (great hat with "CushionAire")
4. Knox 20 Custom Edge
5. Churchill
6. Knox (not so stingy; quite old; Ovalized 16ths; used to have bound brim with pencil curl)

 

[daizawaguy]

Very mischevious!

Top to bottom, L to R

Pierce, Schoble, Art

Art, Art, Optimo

Art, Optimo, Bob by Art

Nothin over 2" there...camel is the stingiest...1 3/4"!

 

[Visigoth]

I'm coming to the conclusion that Art Fawcett makes the world's most elegant stingies.

There seems to be some controversy over my choice of stingy icon. Maybe this guy will be more acceptable:

If Tom Waits wears it, then it IS cool! I have always been a big-brim person, but the hat I wear most is 2 1/8 - it just seems to look better on me.

So I finally succumbed and read your stingy threads. Most of you really look great in the stingies...but having read in the older stingy thread that Bogart wore 2 1/4 at most, I'm wondering, "What brim actually is a stingy?" I'm sure this has been discussed, but I can't find anything.

 

[Visigoth]

We've debated the width of Bogie's brim a fair bit. Kind of hard to figure out. (Apart from everything else, I've always felt that his head was a peculiar size relative to his body -- who knows its dimensions?)

What he definitely made canonical is my favorite combination: a narrow (if not precisely stingy) brim, with a huge, deeply bashed crown.

 

[Visigoth]

Oh, and the accepted wisdom seems to be that 2" or narrower constitutes "stingy."
