Oh, well, hell. Now I have to get one. Good thing my birthday isn't far off or I'd have no excuse whatsoever...basic black I s'pose...
The colours are deceptive. You need to look at the Instagram page to get a better idea. The red is actually orange, the green is more of a moss colour. Really weird. The toss up between this and a fez as a fun useles hat, I think I choose Jughead. At least give me a place to display my pin collection.
I see what you mean. All the more reason to go with black, I suppose. On the other hand, I prefer the shade of green in the Instagram photos; more along the lines of what we used to call "pea green", slightly lighter and brighter than the U.S. Military's "olive drab". *sigh* Now I gotta' toss a coin to see which one to get.
I agree. I've been thinking of getting a fez for myself, but I honestly can't imagine where or why I'd wear it. One of these "Whoopee caps", on the other hand, I'd wear the heck out of because it'll amuse and/or annoy all the right people. Haven't seen them cheaper though, $44 whether it's their website or Amazon. Or were you referring to shipping costs?The toss up between this and a fez as a fun useles hat, I think I choose Jughead.

BTW you can find them slightly cheaper on Amazon.

I can see wearing this cap when curling up with a book on a cold winters night.

Oh, right. I keep forgetting you're north of the border.
I like the way you think. They're currently scheduled to be delivered some time near the end of next week.
It also explains why they chose gray as the color--it "reads" better in a comic panel. A black hat of that type would require quite a lot of "highlights" to make it look like that hat in print. But with gray? Outlines, ribbon, gray, done. Look, it's a whoopee cap. Oh, that Jughead!
I would imagine that a home-made whoopee cap would be WAY more fun than anything store bought. At least 273% more fun, by my reckoning.
I agree 273%. The only two problems I have with this are 1) that I'd have to sacrifice a good fur felt hat, and 2) that I have no idea how to make the brim on a fur felt hat fold 180 degrees upward to parallel the "walls" of the crown.
1: A mothed-out old wreck will do much better than a good fur felt hat.
All hail to the king!
1. I'd have to get one first, and that would pretty much cost me nearly the same as one of these pre-fabricated wool whoopie caps.
WINNER!!
I was thinking more like a garage sale or thrift store find rather than paying any more than necessary for the donor hat. Once the sweat is out, it stays out. The hat is more like a skullcap.1. I'd have to get one first, and that would pretty much cost me nearly the same as one of these pre-fabricated wool whoopie caps.
2. Remove the sweatband??? Assuming I'd have to eventually put it back in, that's already more work than I'm familiar with performing on a hat. I guess I'll just have to make do with these cheap woolies.
Thanks!
