Re-bash the Stylemaster?

[rrog]

I'd suggest opening up that front pinch just a little. You've got a fairly square face & the front pinch came out looking a little too pointy. I'll be interested in seeing how it looks if you follow the suggestions of these other fellows. Bear in mind that I'm awfully fond of the Stylemaster as it comes out of the box, but I do think the diamond may work very well on it.

Yeah, maybe the point I'm missing is the shape of my face and head. (no pun intended ) I was going for a very crisp-looking front, with matching side dents. I was using my Stetson Fargo as a model, but come to think of it, that one has a more bluntly shaped front. It also has a tear drop crown, so maybe I'm trying to combine too many different styles. I'll try to work on it some more tonight. And I appreciate all the input. Your comments are very helpful.

I have confidence that this one will end up in the Diamond Authority thread :cool2:

that hat...

I've struggled with wanting to order the style master, but I was in the same predicament. anytime I wear a hat that has taper, I look like humpty dumpty. I'm pretty much resolved myself to straight sided feds and campdrafts.

have you tried putting the hat back in to an open crown? can you post pics if you have any?

I'd go for "light" dents that have a good amount of spade between them and may a center crease on top.

any pics of different styles would be appreciated.

has anyone told you you look like Jerry from ER?

Gee, that doesn't sound too flattering.

I'm pretty much resolved myself to straight sided feds and campdrafts.

And that's a bad thing?

can you post pics if you have any?

I worked on it some last night but haven't yet taken any pics. I'll post as soon as I get them.

First Humpty Dumpty and now Jerry from ER?!? Well since I've never seen Jerry from ER, I don't know whether to be offended or flattered.

let me rephrase...

ok, now re-reading the post, that didn't come off the way I wanted it to. I have found for me personally, that if the hat has as much curvature in the crown as I do in my cheeks and chin, I remind myself of an egg, hence the humpty dumpty comment. not saying its a bad thing, just maybe not the best look for me personally.

I love the look of the style master, bound edge, thin"er" ribbon. I just wish it had a slightly fuller crown, so it would look better on me.

hopefully there was no offense taken.

 

[rrog]

Absolutely no offense taken, RFF. I was only kidding. It's all good.

Being a long time ER fan, you do resemble Jerry some, like a better looking younger brother = http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3411712512/nm0072344

 

[rrog]

I've been compared to a lot of things in my time, but a movie star has never been one of them. I guess I can take that as a compliment. Thanks very much RFF.

Although this one is not so flattering...

But I'm sure they had to use lots of makeup to make him look that way. Yeah, that's it. It's gotta be what they've done...

I forgot he played in Open Range with Cosner & Duval. That was a period piece so he had to look very rough, Reverand!!!

Re-Bash 2nd Time Around

Here are the pics of the 2nd attempt at re-bashing my Stylemaster. I think the ultimate outcome is that I've mainly made the crown into some kind of diamond shape. The side dents and front crease are not nearly as radical now as they were after my 1st attempt. Also, the lighting is really different. I took the pics in two different rooms. The side shot seems to show the truest color of the hat, which is EA's mid gray.

Thanks to all who gave advice and input.

Feel free to handle that one by the front pinch or any way you like there, RR.

... Oh, I see you already have ...


Personally, I never miss a chance to fondle the Akubra Imperial felt after a rain soaking, and I've been doing that on a regular basis lately, especially with my willow green Squatter... - so much so that I recently woke up from a dream to make sure that it wasn't - no it can't be...

... oh, good... it's not a flat top :whistling

I like the looks of this one much better rrog. The taper from front to back is nice.

 

[Spats McGee]

Nice work. :eusa_clap

 

[RobFedoraField]

unlike last night's pizza

this one is definitely better the 2nd time around

lol

 

[Kangfish]

Much, much better 2nd time! (IMO)

 

[marvelgoose]

It really does look good on you. I like that diamond bash a lot -- can we get a direct overhead shot?

Can't wait to play around with my own Stylemaster due in any day now from HatsDirect.

 

[Colby Jack]

That is a great diamond!:eusa_clap

 

[rrog]

How's this shot?
