What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Mr. Lucky]

^^Perfect look......well done.

Agreed. But WHAT is it? I mean the hat.

 

[TimBer]

Royal Stetson. The color is graphite. I am one of those poor souls who only owns one fedora.

I'm sure that will soon change!

 

[Dinerman]

Stetson 7x stetson. I put a new crease in it the other day. What do you think?

Looks cool! I think you should call it the "Flying V"!

But what a fine hat for your only fedora.

Looks cool Dman, I was trying that same crease/bash on 1 of my taller crown hats a few months back, but I gave up on it....did you have a hard time with it? I seen a picture of a hat with that same crease somewhere and thought it was cool.....looks good, you did a nice job with it. :eusa_clap

 

[Dinerman]

did you have a hard time with it?

Not at all, but I think that's because of the felt this hat has. It was completely dry shaped, but the 7x felt has the perfect mix of thickness and denseness that it'll take any shape and hold it, but if you pop it out, it goes right back to open crown.
I prefer the stetson 7x felt even over the felt on my stetson 100.

Looks great TimBer!!!
DMan...thats the best crease yet!!! FANTASTIC!!!

TimBer, It looks great. If you're only going to have one, that's a wise choice. But, if you hang around here, you will soon want others (to keep it company).

Dinerman, I have often remarked that (in the Golden Age) the way a man shaped his hat was seen as a sign of individuality, and a badge of honor. You deserve a big badge, for that one. I thought I had seen every possible crease, but that's a new one for me. And it looks superb! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Actually not new, it is called an arrow crown.

How very retro-minded of you!

Well, if you're only gonna own one make sure it looks great on you......I think you have that down pat!

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Bud, I remember somebody mentioning an "arrow" crease, the other day. I couldn't place it then, but I'll remember it from now on. Thanks for the info.

Cool.....how'd you start out then, with a basic C-crown and work from there?

 

[Dinerman]

Back in my 1-2-07 post, I referred to it as an arrow crease. Got my inspiration for it from a thread that The Real Henry made back in 2006. i tried it on some other hats when I first saw it, but it didn't work too well; really needed the felt that the Stetson has.

I made it more like a diamond crease- making the two lines out from the front pinch, then just popping the back in.

If it's a good one… [huh]

 

[kiltie]

not in my paws yet...

This just shipped today. Obviously it's not on my head yet, but I'm both excited and loathe to start a new thread. It's a Resistol, which I believe makes it a San Antonio, unless I've got my wires crossed. I'd been wanting an old Open Road, but when I learned the Resistol was called a San Antonio, I decided, as unlikely as it would be that I'd find a nice one, that I'd rather have that, being that's where I am. At any rate, I think I did alright pulling this one down for right at about fourty bones, TT&L. I think I caught it right after it listed with the low "buy it now" thing-a-ma-bob...
Lemme know what you think. I'm gonna try and get a little Hank Williams,Sr with it.

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

The vintage Resistols are fine hats, I have several. That style could be a S.A. or a "Waco". I have both.

 

[Dinerman]

Vintage Cye Stacey custom made fedora. Ventilated sweatband, heavyweight felt, "cav edge", pleated ribbon, wind string is the set up where the button is sewn to the hat.
