The Diamond Authority

[Nigel]

Here's my submission to the Diamond Authority, my first attempt at bashing an open crown hat. I used a little steam to get the bash as dry bashing wasn't quite working for me. The bash is a little similar to Russ' (RBH) Campdraft, more rounded on the back of the crown. I'll try and get a better pic sometime.

I changed Remembrance into a Diamond and redid the Diamond in my Federation. The Federation is still wet.

Here is my work of Art inspired by this thead:

Very nice IC!!!
Did you crease that one yourself Karl? Great job!

 

[univibe88]

I can't take any credit there. This thread made me want a diamond crease, so I asked Art for it when I designed my hat with him. The crease you see in that picture is from his hands.

Did Art put the wind trolley on to? That is a great hat!:eusa_clap

Thanks

All I did was send the check. Art did it all! Indycop, your "rememberance" also inspired me. You inspired me to work with Art, and to go with the granite colored felt.

That color really goes well with anything! And he does great work!!

I was watching movie trailers on my Mac last night, and the new Indiana Jones hat seems to be a diamond crease as far as I can tell in the few quick shots of it from the top.

I'm not sure if I like this: my non-Indy Peters Brothers diamond crease brown fedora has suddenly turned into an Indy (with the exception of the front brim, which is mostly flat)!

Nope it is definitely a center dent!!

 

[Woodfluter]

Here's an example of how the diamond dent can change the profile of a hat, especially one that tapers a bit. Anyway, it did with this Borsalino I have. Here's the before pic showing the hat with original center crease, from the front:



I really like the gunmetal blue color and it's light as a feather...maybe a little too light. Now the same hat from the front, after I steamed it and put a diamond telescope crease in.



I like it better this way. Plus, my dog daughter Hannah said she approves!

Excellent job on the diamond crease. That is exactly what the hat needed.

Yeah, perhaps, but it does seem to morph. Check out the 1080p version at 01:37 here (you can download it and go through it frame by frame with the right arrow key):

I better stop now before I descend into COW insanity!

Sometimes you may catch a promo type pic with the licensed Dorfman hat which is a teardrop. They gotta throw it out there sometimes to sell it I guess.[huh]
