Dimensional brims

[Golden Earache]

You want me to do WHAT?

Hi Art

This is completely off topic, but can I ask what your signature is in regards to?

I think that is what he said when someone asked him to cut a dimensional brim.

You see this occasionally with traditional Trachten hats. It can be side to side or front to back. I have a couple examples but I will not post since most on this board do not consider them real hats.

The first paper ad I found was from 1943 in Reno.

This news article was from 1956.

See how well that caught on RBH? I read the question as "is it conventional" so I stand that it wasn't, but could be had.
I guess I should clarify also. TonyB and Brad are correct in the strictest sense of the term ie: basilly ALL brims are dimensional based on the shape of the rounding jack, but in today's context, it signifies "Indy".
I get alot of requests for "authentic '30s hat, you know..dimensional brim" and really, it drives me nuts!! Truth is, the dimensional was anything BUT conventional. If it was, wouldn't it be stupid to try to use it as a sales tool?

Conventional, dimensional...MUST be a song in there somewhere

I know.. the ''three dimensional brim'' sounded strange to me.
Just trying to find info on what Dinereman said... no harm meant.

I'm sorry if that sounded snitty Rusty, I didn't mean it that way when writing it. Just pointing out that it never took off thus proving my point.

One of my hats has a dimensional brim that goes from 1 5/8ths to over 2 1/2 inches.

Here's a pic of my hat, it's not in the best condition at the moment.

Here is a pic of me wearing it:

The newer Stetson Gun Clubs have dimensional brims. Wider in the front and back. I kinda like the effect. Other than an OR, this Dune is about the only hat I ever wear.

AF

Can't say that I've ever seen another quite like that one, 'Soup. What make is it? If it isn't asking too much ... how 'bout a shot of the interior?

 

[HatSoup]

Here's a pic of the interior, I think the name of the hat is the Distortion, bought it in Japan at Cashila. Cost me too much.

From a visual perspective, I've always thought that the original dimensional brims were cowboy hats with the brim rolled up on the sides. The visual effect, obviously, is that the brim is shorter on the sides, and longer in the front and back. So, it doesn't seem strange to me at all that someone might take that look for inspiration and craft a brim that achieves the same visual effect on a fedora. Just a thought...

Cheers,

Moose River Hats

The orginal Moose River Hats were designed with a shorter rear Brim to allow for wearing with a Backpack...

That Weave Toshi flash is messed up.

I think if you pull the mouse up it shows a lady with a hat, and you can rotate around that one.

If you continue to work the cursor in circles it cycles thru the couple wearing 4 or so hats each. Kinda freaky to view with the glossy stares.
