Taller crown (5 3/4) with a C-dent or Teardrop?

[citRon]

Can anyone with a ~taller~ crown, over 5 1/2 inches, in a C dent or a teardrop post some pics?

My Campdraft is 5 1\8 tall at the front [this is creased] with a slight diamond crease.

My custom made TVA {the one in my avatar} has a diamond crease with a 5 inch tall creased crown. Open crowned it was 6''.

here are a few pics of the Campdraft.

My Sportaire has a 5 1/2" crown.
Here is the teardrop:

This one's got a 5-3/4" crown. Hardly any taper to it.

 

[citRon]

well, you're easing my fears of the tall crown! Very nice hats!

Look at the HST

The limited edition HST at vintage silhouettes has a 5-3/4 crown with a really nice c-crown shape and beautifully subtle tight creases at the top front. I love it, but it's too tall for me - so, now I'm pondering a custom version matched to my big cocoanut, but what color to pick, ribbon width, etc......

Nice lids fellas.....

I'm not a big fan of a super tall crown, for myself that is.....some guys look good in them, most of them on here do, I'm just not real comfortable in one I guess. [huh]

Mr.Fusion, I really like your Sportaire alot....is that the true color?

Dman.....that is a fairly short brim for a 5 3/4" crown (especially for you), was that hat custom made? I like it mucho grande.

That's a Stetson airlite playboy from around 1934. One of the first years the playboy was made. It has a paper thin, unreeded sweatband, and vents in the top. It weighs next to nothing. The brim got wider on that model pretty quickly after that. But yeah, it's got a monster of a crown on it.

Wow! I really like that.
My latest hat from Art has a 5 3/4 crown and 2 3/8, 2 1/4 dimensionally cut brim.
BTW. What is that, 2 inch brim?
Bob.

I'm really digging that Playboy, Dinerman. I like the combination tall crown/narrow brim. The dimensions are pretty similar to the 3X "Kitten Finish" Resistol I'm wearing in my avatar. The brim on it's 2 1/8 and it's got a pretty tall crown, which gave me plenty to work with in bashing it into a fairly deep C crown. The ribbon is 2 inches wide on my Resistol though, which doesn't accentuate the crown height as much as the narrow ribbon on your Playboy.

It's pretty close to the correct color. This picture is a bit better:

OK, I'm new

and I've seen it before, but I'm not tumbling to it - what does AB mean?

Adventurebilt Hats, made by Steve 'Fedora' Delk. If you're not familiar, he's the guy who made (and is still making, I think) the hats for "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".
