With such encouragements in mind, I just took another look at my closeted Capricorn.
I'd already worked it over but good, but another session of manipulating all the layers helped.
White chalky dust popped out of it when I restored its shape, possibly dried whatever-it-was that lent the...
Oh, what a great look. Thanks. :cool:
Yes, that's what I've gleaned. However, time is on my side (I'm not in a hurry); perhaps there will be other options by the time I go for a Next Hat.
Noted! Thanks. It certainly fares well in the various images I've seen, more clearly than when viewing...
For my part, I wasn't ready for how heavy and Plastic the Capricorn turns out to be, to feel. A plastic helmet, indeed, and not what's indicated on warm(er) days.
I, too, have worked mine all over to reduce the stiffness (and thereby remove the Crackle), but at the end of the day-- or the...
Thanks much! The Steel often gives off more of a blue effect in person (possibly not least because I'm usually wearing something blue!); I'll try to capture that better at some point. These hats are truly stunners. I know I'm repeating myself, but I love the clarity of Michael's design and...
As have I, again. Life-ing. :)
Right! But, even with swatches here on hand and your helpful image notes, I am going to have a harder time envisioning what 'white' I really do want, that will go best with my coloring and typical palette, etc. "Gray" came a lot more intuitively to me! And...
Naw, see, I found that image by searching for "Stetson Playboy"-- a Google search, mind you, none of that Bing Bing Duck business, so: it has to be true.
;)
(Thanks for the clarification!)
Oh, I'll bet you do.
o_O
-- I shall look up the thread, thanks. I love Stetsons, old and...
Thanks, y'all. :)
All the earth tones (for lack of a better descriptive) really appeal to me. I remain fascinated by how similar they can appear, especially in small swatches or different lighting conditions, but how wildly different the larger outcomes can vary! Granite is predominantly gray...
@Hurricane Jack - Thank you for taking the time to post the images of the felt swatches against other colors, in various lighting conditions, etc.
I've carried my own swatches around for weeks now, with my own set of lighter colors now at hand, but am learning as much from your images and...
What a great picture! Special congratulations to both of you on the very new little person featured-- and all the work and love and joy of the former new little person, the baseball dude. :)
(The hat's a looker, too. :cool:)

Thanks!
First, thanks for all the helpful information and images you and others have provided!
MY HAT: first pictures Michael Gannon sent me, in other lighting:
Granite beaver felt with a 7/8" Steel Blue Ribbon
2 1/4" brim, unbound
Antique Brown Sweatband
Goal of a lower crown than most...
I still love looking at this hat, no matter what its name ;), so am bringing it here:
Its profile, as seen especially in the last picture, really does it for me.

:cool:
[I have appreciated all the education I've gained from reading and looking and comparing contributions here with my own on-head discoveries, and learned more all over again in everyone's responses here. Thanks!]
~ S.
Hope! :)
Well, isn't this a whole other ball o' wax? :eek:
Possibly even the bee's knees, once everything is maximized. :cool:
Thanks for your response, and the additional clarity. There's a lot going on here. o_O
~ S.
Well, dang. You're right-- on both counts!
I can't even find a 'view full site' link once on my phone, nor what framework or software the site's using even once viewing the full site on my laptop.
[I just purposefully used my phone to visit a couple other forums I frequent. In each of these...
