What's this edge called?

[Joel Tunnah]

I don't have a picture, but I saw this interesting type of edge treatment up close and personal on a Hasidic man's hat in the D train:
it looked like there was a flap cut in the felt near the brim's edge, and the ribbon binding actually went under the felt, then the flap was stitched down.

Steven from Bencraft must know what I'm talking about.

Astounding, you should have used your persuasive powers and asked the hat owner. Inquiring minds want to know.

Astounding, you should have used your persuasive powers...

Huh?

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

If you were close enough to get such a detailed view, I would think that you could have simply asked a question or two. Surely this fellow would not have been outraged by your query.

Joel you might have seen a homburg hat that has a very flat brim . It looks similar to the Stetson pictured on this thread but there is a little lift on the brim . Basicaly it is a pencil curl brim but very flat.

Steven, do you have such a homburg on your website. I scanned though it and did not see anything like what you mentioned. A new brim style sounds very interesting, I wish we had more first hand details.

 

[Joel Tunnah]

No, there was a definite cut in the felt, on the top of the brim, from which the ribbon emerged. Then the flap was stiched down.

Not at all like the picture above.

Joel, maybe you could draw a sketch of it for us. Do you have a camera in your cell phone, maybe he would allow you a photograph, if you asked.

I thought this edge was interesting.

Not what I think you described however.

 

[besdor]

Joel. you have me curious as to what you saw . The Orthodox hats today have welted edges as well as bound edges . Some have a stitched edge but these are snap brims. Otherwise I dont know what you mean.

Some have taken offense to the smiley face that is being removed. Rest assured I have NO issues with the Hasidic culture and "no offense meant".

If someone was offended by that then they are totally absorbed into a pc culture or are way too self absorbed. There isn't anything offensive about it, it didn't in any way degrade a group of people. I understand if you remove it to not offend a person, however I wouldn't. We are under no obligation to see that the world becomes a monotone, humorless place where the true offense is any lack of humanity.

Like I said, there was no intent to besmirch the Hasidic culture. I simply was responding to the original posters description of the wearer of the hat in question. I did a google on Hasidic hats and the smiley turned up, it was just that simple and nothing sinister about it. I would never knowingly attack the Jewish culture or religion.
