Did you ever make a Fedora contest in this forum?

It could be nice although i don't know how possible

prairiejones · Post by **prairiejones** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 3:05 pm

I know! Let's see who can do the most push-ups!!

You must join me... and we must go on a dangerous journey to Mount Toom where we will destroy the one pillow to rule them all.

Very tricky.

Intriguing - but I agree very tricky.
We'd need at least three judges ...
Now let me see, a Gobler idol to Judge #1, a Wested to Judge #2, and hmm, ... and a new pair of Aldens to Judge #3 ...
Yeah, I think I can swing the panel - OK. Let's go!

(Seriously - very tough, different movie/scene looks, different makers, plus, the same hat looks different on different people, and lighting changes everything ...)

well we could do a prop contest then.

Quantum girl and few other memebers do a lot of nice props that we all can judge in a poll, i mean every person not involved in propmaking.
We could do it something like 2 times a year or just once a year.

Should i move the topic to the PROP session?

I don't think the brand of hat would have to be an issue. The contest should simply be who has the most indy looking hat. Trouble is how to define Indy looking. Afterall the hat is different for each of the films. That's why I wondered if it would be possible to vote for best Raiders, best TOD and best Crusade. Whether the hats in question are ABs, HJs, Optimos, Akubras, or whatever else shouldn't matter.

I perfectly agree with you.

We could even have 3 fedora contests (Raiders - ToD - LC). The only problem is how to judge... we have to think more about it.

What about the idea of a prop contest pagey?

The real Henry · Post by **The real Henry** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 5:45 pm

You're right, but it's more difficult to get a Raiders-look(for example) with an Akubra than with an AB!

Well, maybe cuz i'm a size 55, but I found that getting the Raiders shape is ez. The thing most people forget is that to get those DEEP DEEP center dents, you have to wear it higher on you head. Mine has tapered oly slightly after almost a year and a half of daily wear through every type of weather (except maybe a tornado or tsunami, close on the tsunami). But its a front view taper, and it suits my face. There is yet to be any profile-view taper.

Here is my AB. I think it has a bit of a Raven Bar look to it.

That's great anyway, we can see a nice collection of hats in the same thread

Strider, that's former Marine! The only ex-Marines are those that get kicked out. Former Marines served with honor, but chose not to re-enlist.

prairiejones · Post by **prairiejones** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 5:46 pm

That hat has turned out great Pagey. Mine is an Akubra. Oh, to have that AB crown to work with. I guess I better get one.

Pagey, Your new avatar is fantastic.

prairiejones · Post by **prairiejones** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 8:26 am

Pagey, I have definately seen your point about the block in all of the pics of open crown AB's as of late. It is also easy to tell once you start bashing an Akubra. It is a nice hat, though.

Flattery · Post by **Flattery** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 9:09 am

Why don't we try a scene contest? Best Raven Bar hat, best streets of Cairo hat, best Idol-grab-scene hat? Something to that effect.

Possible categories:
1. Best (scene) & runners up.
2. Best (movie) & runners up.
Then take it to the next level:
1. Best (scene) costume.
2. Best (movie) costume.

Just ideas.

Actually, my dad wore it in all kinds of weather for quite a few years! It has never seen a re-block and has just given up on life! Of course he chose to give it to me after all this time.
