Thank you very much G-MANN! Is that an AB in your avatar?G-MANN wrote:Modern Jones,
I really like the new photos as well as the photos on the 1st page of the thread. The photo of you and your son in the snow is fantastic. There are a lot of amazing ABs on this link but yours is my favorite. I even talked to Steve about getting the exact same color as yours but he explained about yours being a vintage felt that he had back then.
You wear it well!
Yeah, the vintage felt that Fedora had only made a few. Bink has the sister hat to this one. After a Federation and a bunch of other hats, I finally figured out the dimensions an sizes that fit my noggin. I'm sure others went through those trials too. I remember Sergies last fedora he got. The dimensions fit him to a "T"
My son continues to eat vast amounts of snow this year too! I think I'll use him to clear the NorEaster New England is going to get plastered with tonight!
Rusty Jones, you are correct I think, about the felt thickness. I haven't gotten a newer AB yet, but I can tell by a couple of other photos that mine is a smidge thicker. It is thinner that a Federation deluxe though, as a point of reference.
And Strider, it's nice to finally see your mug too. You had that other avatar for the longest time. It's always good to put a face to the name!
If Bink is around, it'd be nice to see an update on his lid too!?
Again, thanks guys!
