My first Adventurebilt----In BLACK!

fedoralover · Post by **fedoralover** » Mon May 23, 2005 12:55 am

In case anyone has wondered if Fedora can make anything that doesn't look exactly like Indys fedora, check this out. A 100% beaver felt fedora in black. I can't wait to get it hopefully later this week. Steve told me every picture he took of it looked like everything BUT black, but that it is indeed black with a vintage iron black ribbon.

Congrats on your new hat from steve. It looks purple, but I'm sure it's black if steve say's it is. Anyway it looks great , hope you post some pics of you wearing it sometime soon.

Beautiful hat! But it does look purple in that pic

That is indeed a sharp looking hat. Some pics where it does look black would be nice.

fedoralover · Post by **fedoralover** » Mon May 23, 2005 12:57 pm

Yup, it looks purple to me too, but knowing fedora like I do, I seriously doubt he would stock any felt in purple. When I get it I'll try to take some more pics and see what happens with a different camera.

Unless he's trying to get rid of his 'Rick James' felt stock, I'm not so sure. about that...

I thought I was going nuts!! I took over 20 pics, inside and outside, and for some reason, my digital camera refused to show it black, but black it is, no doubt about that.

I took pics prior with this same camera of a black hat with no problem. One of the pics that I took, outside, showed a neon purple hat!!! All of the ones took inside, showed the hat to be dark brown. Here, I will post a link of the bow pic, and you can see what a coal black hat looked like. May be time to shop for a new camera.

Do you have a white balance function on your camera, Steve? Under direct sunlight, you're throwing cyan into the mix, and that's why your black is going purplish. Inside, you're using incadesent lighting, and that can throw yellow in the mix, hense brown.

Cameras "See" colors differently than they eye. If the color metering of the camera is off, or not particularly sophisticated, it may be measuring all dark colors as similar tones. Try a picture against an all white background, like a whitewashed wall or a sheet and that should show the hats true color. -Just a suggestion.

Awesome hat! Great shape!

That's called 'white balancing', like I said above. Regards. Michaelson

Not only did you beat me to the "click," but you were also much more pithy.

Before Jess posts it, at my age, I'm ALLOWED to be 'pithy'....I think.

High regards! Michaelson

By pithy, of course, I meant concise and succinct. Now the cantankerous tone of this:

could be attributed to age, but not in your case.

Uh, yeah, either way, you're right.

That's right age has nothing to do with it. He's always been cantankerous!

Michaelson not only are you allowed to be pithy, it's expected. Kind of like wearing checkered pants and striped shirts.

Well, I DO have the blue checkered shirts....

ZZZnn-snrkkk!!~!!! Huh... somebody call me?

Hey, Fedora, got any of that Rick James felt left? Seriously, it sounds like you need to white balance your camera to me. Seriously, Michaelson was around before they invented color.

Heck, the entire WORLD was in black and white until the late 50's....didn't you know that? Watch some old news clips and you'll see.

Hey, Michaelson, can you tell me about the cave paintings again? I always liked that stroy.

And now I'm sucking down a juice box. Go figure. Fully grown adult, and I'm still drinking juice boxes.

Fedora, have you figured out how to take a pic that makes the hat LOOK black yet? And I forget, is this a custom order colour, or just the charcoal? Either way, I like the look of it!

bink who at least doesn't cut the crust off his peanut butter sandwiches

Imagine his joy when he discovers there's juice IN the boxes and you don't have to consume the cardboard.

That explains the simplicity of the drawings. And Snakewhip, you're NOT supposed to eat the cardboard?

I would never charge anyone for that my autograph. However, shipping and handling can be rather expensive.

Simplicity? I prefer to think of it as understated. Bink, you should keep eating the cardboard. How else are you going to get fiber in your diet? Trust me.

Why, chewing through his AB box so he can get to his hat, of course! What a silly question....

You mean there's ANOTHER way of opening the box?!
