AndyKev's new Olive Green hat from Art

[Nathan Flowers]

Here's the pictures.

The hat is very dark green, and looks brown in some of the photos. Very much an olive green. Felt quality is excellent.

For some reason my Sony Image Station has been down for 24 hours...hummmm...are they wanting a subscription?

Thanks again for posting them for me.

I love this hat. The workmanship is flawless, the liner supurb, with a paper liner between the felt and the silk. Leather sweat is top notch.

Just the right amount of stiffner, and the brim is perfectly sized for me.

I had to trade a very nice vintage hat block towards this purchase (funny, Art loves my toys)..but I realize that my curling Iron or the hat block serve no purpose collecting dust. Anything I can give Art to further his talent and dreams is my goal.

NO YOU CAN'T have my CONFORMATURE!

Well just rent it to him!

Nice fedora, i have one on the way from Art in a blue/grey color. I can't wait. Just wait till he has his new beaver felt!

Very nice. I like that crown shape/dent. What's it called? Is there some reference I can look at when you guys talk about crown styles?

Thanks,

David

Teardrop.

Hat looks good.

You need a liner logo.

Green hats are far and few between.

[Art Fawcett]

Actually Matt, it's a "C" crown and you are right, green hats are fewer than any other color.

[Canadave]

Art, how do I tell a "C" crown from a teardrop (and any other crown shape)?

I think C crown is the same as Teardrop. Am I right? I don't really know my self. LOL

I have been wearing hats for 7 years and I'm still learning things!

Regards.

Nope Root, the "C" has distinct points right behind the side pinch where the teardrop does not. The teardrop uses a nice smooth transition and is generally a newer style ( compared to the '40s)
It's also called the Borsalino block
