Going home
With my relationship with my son's mother having been over for a year and a half now, and with her recently telling me that she plans to move with our boy to Atlanta within the next 12 months (a decision which, as much as it pains me, I fully support -- this town we live in is not a healthy...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
No, that makes perfect sense. I'd be honored to have you copy my hat... it means I must have struck onto something awesome. lol I'm so glad it's turning out to be such a hit. I wasn't expecting that from just a simple tribute hat... :) -Tofu- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Art did the crease job on it, and I've been fiddling with it ever since, so I guess it's a kind of a collaborative crease. lol The bash had fallen out of the hat during shipping, but the felt has wonderful memory, so it went right back into shape, no problem. I just measured the brim and...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Not sure on the crown height... I have no clue how I'd even begin to try to measure that accurately, but a tape measure, my untrained eyeball, and a little bit of "I hope it's right" are telling me 5.5" open crown... perhaps Art can help us out with the specs? I'm probably *way* off. Thank...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
:D :D Thank you, sir!!! High praise coming from a stylish gent like yourself. I can't go on enough about how in-love I am with the felt. It's soft and supple, and will hold any crease I give it, but not so much that I can't just pop it out and re-do it by hand should I, for instance, bump...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Dum-de-dum-dum My hat came Monday! It's my first Art creation... and definitely not my last. Art had to put up with me being very specific and sending a ton of reference photos, so I thank him for that. : ) What I wanted was as close a copy as possible of the hat Jack Webb wore as Joe...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Conformer came today! It's all locked up and ready to ship back out to Art tomorrow. Very excited. Had it shipped to me at work, because it's more convenient that way. Couldn't wait to get the conformer home to fit it, so I did it in the restroom mirror. And then a co-worker walked in...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Yeah, I knew (or figured) that we could do it completely through e-mail or PMs if desired, but I felt at least for the first hat, it was important to give a call, especially since I'm being so exacting and pedantic about the design I want. lol For subsequent hats, I'm basically planning to...- AdmiralTofu

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Took the plunge! I PM'd Art on Tuesday and asked for some basic information, and then proceeded to procrastinate calling him until Thursday afternoon, because of my extreme shyness. (Nothing about him; everything I'd read on here said he was a really friendly guy. I'm just shy by nature, and...- AdmiralTofu

Will Obama wear a topper for his Inauguration?
No, but I'm noticing, quite happily, a lot of men (comparatively speaking) wearing hats in the crowd. A very nice sight indeed. :) -Tofu- AdmiralTofu

Opinions of Baily hats?
Fair enough. :) Everyone's mileage varies, of course. Me, I'm partial to nice, soft hats, so long as they're not floppy and shapeless. lol I one day wouldn't mind a nice stiff felt hat (a bowler or somesuch), but for me the problem with the Gangster wasn't even the stiffness so much as the...- AdmiralTofu

Opinions of Baily hats?
"No" on Gangster I have no experience with the other two hats, Madcap, but I would definitely advise you to avoid the Bailey Gangster like the plague. I bought one once -- fortunately, thanks to VHS's excellent return policy, I was able to basically able to send it back, no questions asked...- AdmiralTofu

So who can tell me about Bott Hats out of Cincinnati? (Pictures Added 01/12/09!)
Congrats, Dumbjaw! I was eyeing that hat myself until I realized that I'd mis-read the description and that it was a 7-3/4 LO, and not a 7-3/8 LO... ah well. Congrats! Wear it in in good health. :fedora: Before I realized it wasn't my size ( :o ), I tried doing a little "research" (read: a...- AdmiralTofu

The 10 Commandments of Style????
The thing I love about these "rules" is that there's no explanation whatosever for why you should follow them. Like, instead of, "Match socks to trousers because it lengthens the leg, giving an illusion of height" (for example), it just says, "Match your socks to your trousers. 'Cause we said...- AdmiralTofu

Hey, all... haven't posted in months (work and such), and figures the first day I come back, I see this. :) What's hilarious is, I'm such a Dragnet junkie that I didn't even need to follow the link...

Do You Float Your Hats on your head?
I don't wear my hats super-high, but I don't cram them down onto my head, either, unless there's a good wind going on (and then I hold onto it for dear life!... my kingdom for a wind trolley). Normal wear, my hats tend to sit with my hairline just hidden by the sweatband -- about two inches of...- AdmiralTofu
