Steve's making one...as in Fedora Steve? I thought he only did Indys.

Thanks for the info Winky...that's new news. It's good to see Steve stretching out in hat styles. Be sure to post pics when you get it.

For you ITG he would make you a Hat of your dreams. This Hatter is very good. :drum: :drum:

I call that a 50's Tough Guy Crease. It was popular with tough guys in the movies, and on the street back in those days. I do not think it ever was a factory block. Mickey Spilane himself wore his hat like that, of course he could never seem to tell whether he was the author or the charactor

dear itg,

steve delk of adventurebilt is making/made me one. i sent him photos of alan ladd in "this gun for hire," and dick powell in "murder, my sweet." told him i wanted a sort of combination of the two. he said no problems. so i ordered it up special. there is some talk about the hat in this thread of all places:

Yea...but Steve is a creature of habit. Can he resist putting a tight pinch in it?

Sorry Steve. Just teasing.

Frigging A: gorgeous.

thanks for the link, glad i am the owner of that thing. but why am i always the last to know?

he certainly resisted the tight pinch. i also sent him the dick powell "murder, my sweet" hat photos. that one is very softly creased. i asked him to combine the two: guess he did!

i certainly was not expecting anything as fine, nor did i think you guys would make such a fuss. beginners luck. i will quit when i am on the top.

ladds lid and crease

each photo of the ladd hat in this thread has a different crease. when he is dapper the crease is sharp. when he is down and out the crease become softer. whatever that means.

You know me too well my friend!! It is very, very difficult not to do the tight pinch. But, I managed to pull it off, and feel so much better for it. regards, Fedora
