On the head
I sure appreciate your insight , the way you dissect and lay out the components of style regarding Terry's wonderful conversion.Another fantastic conversion!
I don't often have the time I'd like to pore over these threads and posts, but as I scrolled down through, this image stood out:
Fascinating, how subtle/slight choices in dimension (plus felt color, plus ribbon treatment, plus shirt color, plus... coffee mug?!) can make such a difference in the outcomes.
I can't tell that this hat is quantifiably different from others that you have posted-- that suit you well-- but boy howdy, does it look great! I love its 'softer' lines and creasing, the brim-to-crown proportion, the whole thing. Whatever's going on here just plain works.
Nicely done.

Thank you, Scuttle! You have a good eye for detail. I'm glad you noticed what I was doing here. When doing thin ribbons, especially in the Silverbelly color, I try to emulate what I consider, the classic casual proportions of the OR / Strat fedoras that I've watched on movies and have seen worn by others. I do give a lot of thought to the pinch width and to the shape of the dents and how far they extend back on the crown and also to the crown height at the pinch and to the slope of the rake and the crown height in the back. I give a good deal of thought to the brim shape as well. If you notice, all of these thin ribbons below are very similar in proportion and that's what I try to capture when I do thin ribbon conversionsAnother fantastic conversion!

No, It was sewn by some dude or chick at the Stetson Factory that probably hates their job.

You may have to make a few more posts on the Lounge before you can download pictures if you're "New In Town".
