Here's why the TOD plane hat is so tapered

This belongs with Indywannabe's "Screenused" post, but the topic of the huge taper of this hat comes up so often.... The top right rear of that hat is mashed in, which is what gives the hat all it's taper. Try it on your own hat.

..So basicly, the cockpit hat is the regular TOD hat with a mash-in. .............See?... My screen grabs aren't that bad if I don't zoom in on the telescope line or something.

I have too agree with you fully there, 3thou. And whos fault was it? WILLY, Willy, Willy...

Anyway... This one might be even harder to get down exactly than the Raiders turn, -a perfectly Willy mashed ToD hat for screen accurate taperedness.

Cheers,
Swindiana

Yeah, that would make a hat taper, but look at the pic of him sleeping, from the auction site that sold the TOD fedora. Those pics show a hat that is not mashed down on the back, and there is still lots of taper. Fedora

Your post is true. However....I have seen my fair share of hats that look exactly like the one below with out any help from the styling of the hat.

Well, the crumpled back of the Tri-Motor hat is not a new discovery - it has been mentioned virtually every time the ToD taper's been discussed, in several old threads.

Yes indeed - here's a pic of my old HJ, before I had it "Fedora'd" and sold...

Hey Wayne. Check out these pics!! Remember that line you asked me about on your tapered rabbit AB? Well, Indy's hats had them too. You are very authenic.

The line on my hat is in the same, or close to the line on the ToD hat.

Yeah! Wires in the LC hat! Or maybe they like to fold the hat in half, front to back and sit on it for hours....Indidana Wayne's hat looks like it has a pencil, not a wire, in it's brim.? Both those LC "wires" seem to be even with front of the ears, like the one on the Raiders hat.. ...Dakota, I guess I missed that thread. Both you and Pagey mentioned that Willie mashed the hat in that one. There were a lot of screen shots in the post, but it looks like I'm the FIRST TO POST A PIC of the actual mashed-in crown... Anyone ever posted a pic of it before, Scandinavia?? ......... ..Fedora, here's the hat still in the Ford Tri-motor, being worn regularly, not as a sleep aid or mashed by Willie..looks like the regular TOD hat to me.

Well, if it matters to you, sure, you posted the first screengrab of a side view of the hat, $3K...

I merely stated that the reason for the extreme taper in the Tri-Motor scene has been mentioned lots of times before... no biggie. Post away!
