:eusa_doh: Too funny...hadn't even noticed. He is one of the reasons I do all (or any) that I do. I replied to your PM and will be glad to ask if you wish...just let me know if it matters whether it is kangaroo or not...

Naw, it wouldn't matter when it comes down to it. That's a damn nice quality sweat band in appearance and I'd love to find out where to get my mitts on some. I'd appreciate it if you remember to bring it up to the fella' on one of your visits.

Thx!

I'm amazed at how you come up with those cool hats with the coolest ribbons, Bolt. You and GWD must have the market cornered.

Bolthead - That is one great hat. I've been looking at some similar ones. Now I look at yours with envy!

 

[AlanC]

And now for something completely different...

Thanks to Lounger bruce wayne for letting this Optimo go. It's so radically different from anything I have it's going to take some getting used to.

 

[Spats McGee]

AlanC, if you can't get used to that hat, I'm sure somebody around here will gladly take it off your hands. That's a beautiful hat!

 

[GWD]

Welcome to the Dark Side Alan. Did you post on the Porkpie Thread?

Congrats!

 

[BobC]

Nice, Alan. How wide is that brim? I haven't seen a porkpie with that wide a brim before.

Might be made from "Killer Rabbit".

 

[AlanC]

Nice, Alan. How wide is that brim? I haven't seen a porkpie with that wide a brim before.

It's not that the brim is that wide, it's that the crown is that low. The brim measures 2 3/8", the crown 3 5/8".

Hi Alan,

The wide brim/low crown combination looks like one would need some time to get used to- a little "zootish" maybe. Please show it on your head! It will surely look different than the hat-only images.

Is is a great hat anyway.

Here's a pic with a white background that will provide better contrast with the hat. The hat is a dark grey, although not all the way to charcoal.

Two new ones

A Stetson Gun Club and an Akubra Riverina. Both are casual style hats which is how I dress on a regular basis. The Riverina (bottom photo) is more green than the photo shows.

Wide brimmed porkpies

It's not that the brim is that wide, it's that the crown is that low. The brim measures 2 3/8", the crown 3 5/8".

I like the look. It's similar to the hat Lester Young used to wear (who Mingus wrote "Goodbye, Porkpie Hat" as a memorial). I like it so much that I converted my Akubra Sydney to a wide brimmed porkpie and I think it works! I remember seeing pictures of Fred Astair and Danny Kaye wearing wide brimmed porkpies as well.

Invisible thread...

And now for something completely different...


Man, look at the invisible stiching on that ribbon/bow! Just pops with class!

 

[ScionPI2005]

That's a nice one, Alan! I remember seeing it posted in the classifieds section. If it had been my size, I might have considered it. Be sure to let us see you wearing it!

 

[rikrdo]

stop it already, Alan................

you're killin me.







I really wanted that hat
