sorry,
But it puzzles me why in the devil you spend so much time
on something like this when you could be out side, doing something
just more productive. I like the style of the films, but im not trying
to copy every single part of his hat, finger print for finger print.
Im sorry, but this whole thing with the hat is just crazy. I personally
dont think your whole theroy about anything on the raiders hat is true.
To me the bash turn seems like a whole load of lard. If i was a costume
artist, id buy a hat, and stick it on the actors head. Sorry, all of this has
been in my mind for years.
I believe it has to do with long oval sizing, to regular hat sizing. I really wear a long oval, so any hat i put on
looks raiders like, and has the swoop, taper, sweatband dent, exe.
Kindest regards,
Adam
When you pop this top bash out, the bash transition points remain obvious and prominent. There's even like a second little dome on top of the main dome. I know that hat turning gives you irregular top bashes, and pinching them will put some lumps here and there. - but this Raiders feature is in every scene- it's deep and permanent. I admit- it's a very small detail 
...And here's another theory- 
What if you wanted a tight front pinch in that Miller. You might be tempted to start it on the front edge of one of those two front bashes....... 
It's the perfect distance from the center. 
I can add these features to the exterior of my open crown block (instead of making a wierd, prebashed block, and it should work if I iron them using the tip.? Here's the back of my new Tonak- Imagine a bash throgh the (turned of course 
Here it is naturally in my Tonak 
It's the transition point in the Tonak block's pre formed top bash. The bash is a little shorter because the Tonak has a lot of taper.............Ford didn't sign a release that he would only wear the hat Swales personally sold him...There was another hat bought by Nadoolman wasn't there? Plus 40 more hats bought from HJ for the production. He could be wearing one of those. Someone could have been sent to buy a couple more brown HJ 7 1/4's without telling anyone at the shop what they were for............................................................................................................Melty Man and Molorom- I'll respond to your insolence because thankfully, you saved this post from oblivion....5 years ago I would have "gone outside" myself, and done some "extreme" mountain bike down hilling or something, but now I'm 51. I want to do something productive before I die. I wanted to be an "Artist" when I grew up. I can set up an easel anywhere, and oil paint you the landscape, no problem. It requires acute observation. It's what I've trained myself to do. My latest theory may be bogus, but it makes sense to me at this time.
