One moore hat

[RBH]

Well actually its two, but the other will be unveiled Friday in Memphis.
I meet with Mike Moore in West Memphis this afternoon for about 2 1\2 hours.

I had on my Peters Brothers Indy straw - Mike had on the first hat he ever made.

This hat is one of only two Moore Lites that will ever be made [the Major said the thin felt was hell to work with]
The other Moore Lite will be worn my Mike in Memphis on Friday.
The stats are as follows:
brim: 2 3\4 inches
crown: 5 1\2 inches [open crown]
color: silverbelly
ribbon: 50 -75 year old vintage blue
weight: 2.7 ounces

I am thinking of naming this hat 'The Memphis Blues' because of the sweet blue ribbon on it. I am also waiting till Memphis to crease it. I will bring this very lite hat to the get together and have everyones input to decied what style crease to put in it.
My photos do not do this hat justice but I will try for better ones in the light tommorrow.

Sharp looking hat. Capture the creasing moment on film (er, memory card) Saturday. And I'm eager to see what the mysterious 'TR' looks like.

I will say this, when he put the new hat on he is keeping hush hush on, it was dead on what I had hoped it would look like on him, we nailed it to a tee. The history books have missed a good look with him and that hush hush hat.

Ya'll will just have to wait until Friday nite to see him with both new hats, I was very pleased he allowed me to make both of them for him.

Looks great Rusty!...Can't wait to see the "hush-hush" hat...and my vote is for a diamond bash!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap The Major does beautiful work!

 

[RBH]

Thanks everyone. The Major really outdid himself on these.

Its funny a diamond was suggested, thats what I told Mike I thought would look good in it, with a low Bogart rake to the back.

Thanks Alan... I hope we can catch it with a few photos. I think everyone will be surprised at the 'TR'.

By the way West Memphis is in Arkansas.
