Please forgive me for the multiple posts here today, but I am pretty jazzed with the new Mallory. Just got done creasing, so thought I'd post a couple of noggin shots here. I mentioned in the New Hats thread that the color of this hat is a kind of steel blue with a lavender undertone. It's one of those lids that changes color, depending on the lighting. The first photo here is taken outdoors in the shade. The second is an indoors flash shot. The flash shot brings out the lavender undertone that I'm referring to...

JTL, could I bother you with a request for one more picture of that hat? A picture taken indoors without flash might reveal an interesting color.

This phenomenon of hats changing hues in different lighting is very perplexing. It sort of makes it difficult to judge the true color of a hat that is offered for sale on the internet......deenis

Hi, Deenis --

Because the flash is used at close range in the lower photo in your post, it tends to wash out the color quite a bit. In this case, however, what shows up truly is a reflection of the lavender undertone, which is more subtly present when the hat is viewed in daylight.

The top picture in your post shows the hat in shade in the late afternoon, and, if you were to see this hat indoors in low light, it looks much the same. With a bit more indoor light (midday), however, the hat takes on the color of this outdoor shot:

This particular photo is a very fair reflection of how the hat generally appears, both indoors and outdoors -- although, in lower light, the hat really does take on the darker shade.

Cheers,
JtL

I had to wear my Federation IV to university today due to threat of heavy rain. Much giggling ensued when I walked into my lecture on Egyptian archaeology. Unnecessary as it turned out, the moment I stepped out the skies cleared and Melbourne's worst in a century or more seemed a distant memory.

And my green Stratoliner headed out to the hospital to visit one of my guys and his wife, who just had a baby:

Great hats all around this weekend again. Too many to comment on individually, but Jimmy, I do like that Mallory and its color shifting!

I have to say sir, that your pictures are great and you have some pretty nice hats. ;)

Along with Lefty the few pictures you post in this thread leave me wanting more but when they show up they are all the more special. :)

It was rainy and wet outside today, so I thought I would wear my Orvis Crushable wool fedora. This is the hat that I wear when I dont want to ruin my fur felt ones, but I think it still looks kind of cool.
