Is it possible for anyone to recreate this hat? i think it would be interesting to see results.

If so, that would be awesome....

 

[Neophyte]

When I first saw that show, I thought to myself that I could probably replicate it using my brown Akubra Federation IV.

 

[Jedwbpm]

I agree with Neo; I think the FedIV looks a lot like it.

Do you think the bash might be hard to replicate?

 

[masiaka]

I'm thinking the hat needs to be a diamond crease that's higher in front and back than it is on the sides.

 

[VintageFeds]

Yeah, that seems to be Perry's bash stye, However, his hat does not seem to have a pinch.

Where's Perry?

Great name!

 

[Phineas Lamour]

I just need to find someone named Ferb to hang out with.

 

[MissMittens]

Isn't Richard O'Brien voice on that show? Of Rocky Horror fame?

 

[DesertDan]

Yep a diamond bash with a steep rake, probably want a fair amount of brim with that too.

Send it to JTL & I'd bet he could do it double

The hat and you will need to be transparent and 2-dimensional.

IMO the bash is a simple center dent that runs athwartships and is set crisply at the edge of each nadir...?!

heh. SWMBO always tells me that I'm one-dimensional?! :love:

Looks a little bit like this to me:

That's a heck of a slant. Nice reference photo!

That would be my hat of choice to begin replicating this.

Yes and no..... It looks to me very much like a simple centre-dent, but at ninety degrees to the conventional placement of such a bash, and no pinch. Outside of a Western, though, in reality that could look a little odd. If you're a genre fan, you'll recall the "You would prefer yellow spandex?" comment: what looks good animated or in a comic-book doesn't always work in "reality".

That's probably a take that would look better on a "real world" hat. Needs to dip in the middle too, imo. That and I'd definitely be inclined to put at least a bit of pinch in it; most probably a defined crease in the manner of a Raiders hat, but at the same time a much shallower angle, i.e. a shallower, much less-pointed 'v' shape as you look down on the hat from above.

What about a slant hat with a Hollywood brim?
Kinda cool, huh?
