Gevalt!
Simmy, show the Willoughby photo to your Rebbe. Get his opinion. From the photos you posted, he looks to prefer slightly lower crowns, but For your wedding, the Tuxedo hat would be worth considering. Moreover, such a hat would be perfect for a lifetime of Yontiv(s), would it not?!
Although I REALLY like Rusty's wedding (Father of the Bride) hat, too. Oh, what to do...?
And, I have ANOTHER daughter getting married in exactly one year. A WINTER wedding may be dicey, but my hat will be right!

isnt the tuxedo hat just the affect of a silk lining on the underside? cant it be done with any hat?

I would suggest speaking with Mr. Fawcett as to the subtleties. When I was in the throws of my first daughter's wedding last summer, he really went into the details (as only he can) to create and offer a tuxedo hat. And, as a custom hatter/ artist, he will work closely with you to achieve the perfect look, to your specs!

Today it could be done on any black hat and that would suffice, but a traditional Tuxedo hat is quite different. It's made of extremely thin felt with little shellac to stiffen it, a silk underbrim, and completely silk lined interior. There is no leather sweatband or reed to give shape to the hat. It was designed to be folded and stuffed into the the pocket of an overcoat yet still manage the semi-formal look.

That is one of the best pictures of Rusty on the entire lounge! The man is radiating pride. I don't think, the hat did it all, but it probably helped to grow that happy smile

heres another picture u can see the rebbe had the satin accent on the lapels of his kapota something u wont see in pictures from later years; im thinking of having this done too

You are well on track, Simmy! And Aaron (LotsHats) is so right on with his wish, " may it be that your success with the hat leads to MANY more simchas!" Indeed!!!
