Post New Hats Here!

[Loz Dawes]

YEEEEHAAAA! My new Porkpie has arrived from Art....... beautiful, fits like a glove, or er, a custom made hat.
Will post pics tomorrow in the http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?28705-Show-off-your-Porkpies&highlight=overwelt thread, as I'm working tonight, and don't have time ATM.
But if you can picture Art's 'Sly' hat in a Porkpie style, with 1 1/2 inch brim... well, that should whet your appetite for now!! Super Stoked!! OK, here are some pics...

I just got this Knox Fifteen today! I love the the 2'' brim on it. The color is also great. This is also my first fifteen hat! I had to steam and reshape the center dent on the crown and the brim. It looks fantastic!

+1 Nice back bow

You know, with that wide ribbon and not much left of the crown... I'd consider no pinch.

Admittedly, I haven't seen a lot of "back bow" hats, but this is the first one I've seen with that "X" stitching on the bow. Was that common?

To be clear, I only ask because I want to learn. I don't think it detracts from the beauty of the hat at all; in fact, I rather like it!

Well what read online is that back bows are a 50's type deal on hats. So that's probably why most back bows are 50's. I believe the hat that I showed above is 50's. And the ''X'' on the bow is (I think) more common than the no "X".

Perhaps a basting stitch to protect the bow pre-sale?

Or just for looks? I never see no X's on back bows that much.

I've had the X stitching on every back bow I've ever had.

I had one that didn't have an "X". I never ever see them with out one.

Perhaps the hats I've seen had them, but the stitching was color matched to the ribbon so the "X" stitching didn't stand out enough for me to notice; I'll have to pay closer attention from now on. Thank you Gents! :yo:

No exes on my Along et Cie, but it is in the French style.

Very nice! and good non "X" on the bow example.
