There, I fixed the JJ.

Wish you could buy it like this.

while your fixing that hat can you make it a bigger size for those of us with king size heads....

 

[varga49]

DITTO!

7 5/8ths please!

 

[Wild Root]

Oh, I did make it those sizes.

A tad bit big

Of all the high crown pics, this is my favorite.

Yep, very good 30's. But this hat looks too big for the man wearing it. His ears look to close to the underside of the brim. Nice style.

That's the look I like. My ears sometimes touch the brim... just how my head is shaped.

 

[Wild Root]

The man may have the hat cocked slightly to one side too. But, I have seen this many times in the late 20's and early 30's. Most men wore hats differently every season.

See, this guy has the same look, Check it out....

Who is it?

Root where it that last pic from? What movie? She's a doll!

PS Matt, that is a great hat, it may be the camera angle, notice Roo's pic, it is from higher up. I think the shot shows poorly, not the hat.

 

[Matt Deckard]

He's wearing my hat.

 

[Wild Root]

Yes, it looks like a Borsy don't it! Now you know who wore the hat before you found it! I'm not sure what movie that's from but, I could find out if you like Andy!

Most of my hats fit like that. Low to the ears! Well, that's because mainly how I wear them; cocked to one side. So, one side touches and the other don't.

My wife is the old movie expert, but she is out of town and I can't consult her. But, the more I look at the old movie still, the more the girl looks like a very young Loretta Young and the man like an also young Robert Alda.

That's my best guess.

 

[Veronica Parra]

My vote is also for Loretta Young. The man is totally unknown to me. At first I thought, "Robert Taylor" ... but he has a different nose.

 

[Matt Deckard]

anyone have some pics?

Matt..

Thanks for reopening this thread.
I had missed seeing this one and I love all the great photos!

These sre great photos. I prefer the taller crown with wider ribbons. After I got my first from Art (5 1/2 Crown) I got rid of all my newer low crown hats. Now I have gone to a 5 3/4 crown and I love 'em.

Here are my customs again, in case you've forgotten.

5.75" Crown

5.75" Crown

5.5" Crown

Regards,
J.S.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Awsome pics... you can't go wrong with Art.

5 3/4" crown.

Here's a early 30s hat I bought recently:

I love the style and the colour!
An interesting thing about this hat is that the side are pretty short compared to the wide front and back of the brim!



Regards,
Henrik

That's a dimensional brim. Meant to give you a little more shade, but without a wide brimmed look.

Goes well with the jacket. You're lucky, you're young enough not to look like an Indiana Clone - maybe a German farmboy from Indiana.
