1940s 7-1/8 Green Stetson Bantam

[Dinerman]

I've had this one since '07. It was always a bit too small on me, but with the green felt (which is truly a hard shade to photograph) and great style, I held on to it. With four more years of school, year-round from now on, rapidly approaching, I won't be here to appreciate it, so off it goes.

Here are some shots of it under three different lighting conditions.

She's a beauty.

Very nice! Which picture would you say, despite the difficulty of getting the true color, represents it best?

 

[Dinerman]

Somewhere between the first and third. It's muted green felt, green binding, green ribbon, green reeding and a green sweatband bow, but for some reason, despite three different lighting situations including the first professionally shot one and three different cameras, none of them quite want to pick up the color.

Thanks!
