The Prototype "MD1" - Matt Deckard Apparel Fedora!

[zetwal]

Yes, quite a few (grey) in various sizes were listed over a period several weeks. That's my recollection anyway.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Had to clear some space for the new color model.

I let go of the prototype and the super small ones.

 

[RBH]

This is still the new prototype. I'm thinking of calling the color Chalky White.

I think 'Deckard White' would be good.
It would fit with your line name quite well.

 

[Mulceber]

This is still the new prototype. I'm thinking of calling the color Chalky White.

Isn't that the name of Nucky's moonshiner on Boardwalk Empire? -M

'Chalky white' doesn't seem complimentary to me. Sharp looking hat though

 

[zetwal]

I know you're not asking, but I had the same thought. Obviously, the name should accurately describe the color in question. But chalky white doesn't sound very pleasing.

To me the hat in the picture provided looks tan or something. But assuming it is white, eggshell or cream or something tasty (agreeable) would be preferable from a marketing perspective. Or so it seems to me.

...tasty...

Eggnog

...agreeable...

Ivory, milky white, vintage snowfall, antique white, ecru, wheat, white smoke.

...doesn't sound very pleasing...

Snow White minus the Seven Dwarves, blanched almond, coconut milk, elephant tusk.

For those that really do like a higher crown.

I was thinking about doing another color of the MD1 (and I'm sure I will), yet got caught up in the idea of doing a good early 30s hat to spec. Wider pre war brown sweatband, very tall untapered crown and slight curl to the brim.

Just like the ones I keep trying to find yet can't unless I get it custom made. This is one of the prototypes. What do you think?

No it's not purple... just my iphone taking a few quick shots of this prototype.

I might do it with a bound edge and a two inch ribbon. What do you think?

 

[Jauntyone]

Looks great! A real 1930s-proportioned hat with a tall crown, medium brim and a wide ribbon would be wonderful. I vote for a binding on the brim, or at least an overwelt.

 

[Mulceber]

Agreed - I would definitely jump for this kind of hat. -M

 

[DJH]

Mr Deckard, that is a great looking prototype - the kind of hat I like to wear.

I agree that it would be really nice with a bound brim.

 

[Edward]

I too would vote for the bound brim.

 

[Neophyte]

Where's Joshbru? He needs to see this!

 

[Mario]

I'd like my brim raw...

Bound or not - this hat sure looks like a real winner! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Bound or not - this hat sure looks like a real winner! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I also like the raw brim, but either way that is one nice hat!

 

[Brando11]

Potato, Po-tah-to. Stunning either way.

 

[Rick Blaine]

Very nice MD!

Potato, Po-tah-to. Stunning either way.

:arated:

 

[Feraud]

Very nice.

 

[hasselhoff]

Bound or raw, this hat will be great!
A larger ribbon is a good idea!

 

[monbla256]

that hat has really captured the 1930's style for sure ! A bound edge in a matching body color would look good IMHO! A BEAUTIFUL piece of work
