The Creative Crease Collection

[fluteplayer07]

It's an emulation (...) of a crease from a 1930's C&K ad and a pretty damn fine one too! Can't remember the name of the model, but I'm sure Brad will help us out in that one.

Er...hang on a minute...I think it was called the Saratoga...

Yep. Definitely the Saratoga. Just found the ad in question. Looks like this:

That's the one.

I firmly believe that we all remember that crease pretty well. One of the many great moments given to us by Jimmy in the last year.

Hmmm...come to think of it...I also have very fond memories of THIS ONE:

lol lol lol

I don't remember it. Was probably from before I was a member? [huh] Or am I that blissfully ignorant?

Might you entreat me to a photo?

Sorry, I can't seem to find the whole thing anymore. This was Jimmy's surprise hat from last summer. As you can imagine it caused a lot of commotion among the members of the Lounge and to this days I'm still waiting for Jimmy to post a portrait photo of himself wearing that hat and a fitting zoot suit to boot.

The beautiful Adam DeLuxe Vicorona...

I still want it!

 

[fluteplayer07]

As do I!

 

[Mario]

There you go. Should have remembered that it was an Adam. I think Jimmy wore it only once...

Yes and has even taken the pictures off his photobucket account!

Jimmy's aforementioned double teardrop...

 

[kaosharper1]

Can we see a shot from the top of it ?

If I'm not mistaken, this crease dates back to the 20's?

Yes. It was my attempt at the Saratoga crease which I saw more clearly on some photo published on the Lounge with a bunch of people waiting to go into a baseball game in 1927 or so. So I've refined it since this photo so that it actually come to a sharp point in the back. I used my Dobbs 20 for this crease. It needs a thin, lightweight felt.

I'll see if I can take some pictures of the top and back tonight.

Can't wait to see 'em!

I remember that your attempt at bashing the crown like that was triggered by a thread I started about the 1930's version of The Maltese Falcon. Right?

 

[bolthead]

Can't wait to see 'em!

You mean this one?

or is it this one?

I love that bash. I did the same to a white Mallory 12.50. I'll post it shortly.

A fitting zoot suit to boot? What a hoot!
