The Tri-crown bash

[thunderw21]

I bought a 1950s Champ off ebay recently. Nothing special about it except the crease running down the center of the crown.

Now, I have a tall head so tall crowned hats work best for me. But this hat had a very low crown. After much trying to get the right bash (and failing) I tossed it on the chair out of frustration. Low and behold, the center crease popped out, creating what I call the "tri-crown" (patent pending). Now it's tall enough for my head while being unique.

It looks like a regular bash to the casual observer:

But tip it or look down and it turns into something new:

That's rather interesting, I think I like it.

Maybe it should be called an "Optimo Pork Pie"?[huh]

Something new? lol

This was inspired by Art's "Spimoni"

....but your's is a very nice Lid as well Thunder. :eusa_clap

Hmm...new or not, that's pretty cool!

 

[Dinerman]

You see that crease on old milans quite a bit.

 

[bolthead]

I agree Scion....

Hmm...new or not, that's pretty cool!

....and this is why you should keep it.

I knew Bolt would have something similar!:eusa_clap

Dang, didn't see those. Very nice.


Hmm, the "ThunderBolt" bash?

Thunder's is different from the other 2 examples. While Bolt and Art's telescope up to a ridge (the common milan bash), Thunder's has recesses on either side of the ridge, reminding me of one of those trays made for chips in one section and dip in the other.

I was just about to make the point Lefty did above ... am liking Thunder's bash more and more.
