Vision of the future?-by Snrbfshn 9/28/05

I stand by my earlier comment. That is one ugly hat.

I respect your opinions.

 

[NeezusMike]

Fashion points aside and anyone who hangs out here knows everyone has an opinion

There you go! I had no problems with your opinions, it was the silly comments that were irritating. Like that sly remark you made earlier. I'm entitled to expose what is silly to me... Sounding like kids. Stop being so verbose too, you are starting to sound like KingNeezus! You are cramping my style, already. I don't know who's worse you or *orsalino.

It's not worn. But it will be similar in price. And this particular style -as in my avatar- is fur felt 10x. Whether or not this style can be worn with vintage styles will be a matter of personal taste. We plan to keep vintage, vintage. I am attempting to create a full futuristic line. You spoke well when you said, "daring" But it might not be, since we are in the 21st century. Hope you will enjoy. Thanks

What is 'fur felt 10x'?

 

[Dinerman]

I don't like it. But then again- this hat seems to be aimed towards a group which I don't belong to. I avoid MTV, I don't like current music, and I abhor fashion. I wear what I do because I like it; I'm never in style, nor do I want to be.

It is a novel concept. I'll give you that. Good luck with 'em.

I usualy come here to see some nice hats but this is the worst one by far.
I am not into fedoras becouse of the old clasic look. I think they can come back in totaly new form and fresh spirit. But this is definitely not the one.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Well I guess we can consider it a new dress cap. A causin to the eight piece cap and the ball cap... though more dresy. It can be worn with a suit and tie though not wit the coveralls when working on a car.... thuogh that is up to the indidual.

I'm not a fan of the straw crown and felt brim combo of on the other page and i don't think I'll be sporting a felt ballcap anytie soon, though it is something that I can see adopted by the fashion forward crowd. I prefer keeping my ears shaded.

Now are these just haevily trimmed down bodies made into caps? does the rest of the brim get tossed?

 

[Pilgrim]

The proof is in commercial success; if that hat style is around five years from now and still selling, then it's a success regardless of opinions on this forum. And since I'm old enough to like the classic fedora style, I am probably not part of the target market. That's no problem - I'n outside of a LOT of target markets.

Just to register an opinion, it doesn't do anything for me at all - and I wouldn't buy one. I'd much rather wear a fedora when I want one, and one of my numerous baseball caps when I want one of them. Good luck with the actual target market - whatever it is.

I must also opine that its creator is verbose.

um... what??? did I miss something?

I was making a facetious remark to EricH. It was an inside thing.

 

[Dick Tracy]

I don't like it.

 

[DanielJones]

"No sir, don't like it, one bit."

But more power to you, & best of luck.

Cheers!

I think it would be fairly difficult to sell them. People who would enjoy the baseball cap side of it probably wouldn't be looking for a dress hat, period.

I agree. It's a novel idea, but people want either the classic dress fedora, or the baseball cap. This hybridization probably won't fly.

 

[DOUGLAS]

There is a lid for every pot. Fedoras were not dropped one day and ball caps worn the next.It took time and that is what you will need to sell your hats. Keep it up and join the waiting game as you franticly run around showing your product to everyone.

 

[tonyb]

I can't see myself buying one of your hats, Neezus, but then, there are all sorts of quite popular styles that I never buy.
My initial reaction to your hat was "hmmm, I don't know what to make of that." I got nothing against ballcaps, although I rarely wear them. And I got nothing against your hat. I can see its potential for catching on among younger, trendier people. Don't let the generally unfavorable reaction from the denizens of this joint discourage you. After all, we are hardly your target audience, right?

 

[McPeppers]

You know, when I look at that picture on the "coming soon" website for it the hat reminds me of something. Remember the old bellhop caps they used to wear all over the place? It looks like that with a little brim...

I mean it just strikes me as a tad odd looking *shrug* to each their own tho I'm sure someone will buy and wear it. I guess my main objection is I dont believe ballcap style belongs in events that are considered "elegant". And the reason I say it looks odd is ballcaps are supposed to be snug against the head and this one rises way above your crown in fedora style... which kinda projects the bellhop image since those caps werent designed to be snug.

But as with all new fasions you may find a little niche for this style or bomb horribly. Its the risk you take to be creative. Good luck.

Oh but your logo...that is awesome lol *really likes the logo*

 

[DOUGLAS]

The hat in the avatar reminds me of the type used but the RAD organization back in Germany during the Thirties.

W.A.C.'s

You guys have a good point there. I was thinking more of the WAC's from WWII.
Like the third one from the left.

Cheers!

When are you taking orders?

Yes - I mean it. I am 53 years old and an inveterate fedora man, but, hell, I rather like this strange hat even though I am not the target market and my approval is probably the last thing the designer needs or wants. But I think it's -- well, interesting, and cool. And I want one. NOW.
