The Creative Crease Collection

[Cane Rod Maker]

Nicely done

I really like this hat; can I see a few more shots of it? I have an open crown on the way......this gives me something to think about.

Nicely done, kaosharper! :eusa_clap

You, sir, are a man of impeccable taste...

A good point...

You do make a good point with that statement.

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?

Right. The 1931 version. And Bolthead, it's the second picture I remember. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

The front looks pretty conventional:

Top View:

Back view sort of looks like the front:

You need a very lightweight "handkerchief" type felt to pull this off. I'm not sure it can be steamed into heavier felt. Also a tall crown. This dobbs has about a 6" crown and a 2 3/8" brim.

I also think, IMHO, that unconventional bashes like these may draw younger people to fedoras. I like to think of them as "alternative" creases.

 

[Cane Rod Maker]

Definitly interesting....

That is definitly interesting, very different for sure.

Thanks for checking it out; glad to get nice feedback.

Thanks for those additional photos...

The photos you added are great; that is one cool looking lid.....:eusa_clap

That's very original Scott, awesome job, I like it. :eusa_clap

 

[bolthead]

Art's "Spumante" inspired me to make this one. I call the hat, "The Lounger".

It now has the Fedora Lounge lapel pin on it....(shown here).

Looks great! The pin adds a nice touch! What does Mr. Fawcett do to make that one? An optimo turned into a porkpie? And is it hand or machine creased?

Mine was done by hand, Flute, I can't tell you how Mr. Fawcett does his. [huh]

 

[fluteplayer07]

Oh--you did it yourself! It matches the crease on Art's site. Did your hat come open crown, then? How long did it take for you to make?

This one's up on the 'Bay right now, not an auction, just Buy It Now only with no end date. I'm not going to give the manufacturer or model, and I uploaded the photo to my Photobucket so it couldn't be linked to an eBay auction. I just thought it was such an unusual crease that it had to be part of this collection.

If that doesn't say "The creative crease collection" I don't know what does. Awesome.

 

[fluteplayer07]

Says 'Creepy Crease Collection' to me.
