you like a talker so, do you?
you like a talker so, do you?
interesting, do you breed them?
Grampa Moon was a wise man! ... and featherless!my grandfather always said ... "a feather on a hat is like a mustache on a beautiful woman"
I tend to a agree with gramps
this might be only the 7th time I've typed this in this thread ... could be the first though .. who knows ?
Not this one. I hand raise/hand feed for other breeders. I breed some of the smaller parrot species.interesting, do you breed them?
I like most greens with tans/browns. Don't care for feathers in general and def don't care for that color green. I care for that Portis quite a bit though.I just got this late 1940's Portis. The second picture is the feather that was on it. For the life of me I can't see how a bright green feather adds to the beauty of this hat.

AMEN to everything you said! Especially the last part...That Portis rocks!!!I like most greens with tans/browns. Don't care for feathers in general and def don't care for that color green. I care for that Portis quite a bit though.
I think it's the color I object to most , Bob. It's an artificial looking green . Just glad it could be removed without any damage to the hat!I like most greens with tans/browns. Don't care for feathers in general and def don't care for that color green. I care for that Portis quite a bit though.
Thanks , Jeremy! I'm adding it to the Portis thread now.AMEN to everything you said! Especially the last part...That Portis rocks!!!
Very old beginnings of this thread 8 years ago, one would think that indeed this matter would have come up as a matter of routine . I think that the use of feathers in headdresses ( which an hat indeed is) is as old as when mankind emerged from the other primates .Do you all wear feathers in your hats? Anyone know anything more about this trend?
Thanks!
Hat adornments are as much a matter of taste as the hat is. The green feather in that Portis probably makes that fine hat cry in it's box. But that's just my personal taste, or lack of it, in the case of that feather. Now if you drive a classic MG, and you want to be seen supporting the marque..............I just got this late 1940's Portis. The second picture is the feather that was on it. For the life of me I can't see how a bright green feather adds to the beauty of this hat.

Oops, well go ahead and remove the thread with my apologies. Unfortunately, I can't delete the thread. [emoji1][emoji3061][emoji482]It’s well plowed ground. With very few exceptions, I’m not a fan of feathers. I remove them from vintage hats as well as modern, but I do appreciate those who want to keep the hat original.
