I've enjoyed the heck out of mine all this time. Looks great, G-MAN!

They're beautiful hats. I always get a nice compliment when wearing mine.

Regards! Michaelson

Thank you Sir,

I can hardly wait to break the Old Blue Suit out of the closet

Cheers,
G-MANN

Understood. Don't you just HATE when you have to discipline a suit like that!?

These days you have to be real careful when you say anything is coming out of the closet.

Beautiful hat G-mann

I'm looking forward to seing pictures of it with the blue suit.

G-MANN both of those hats are beautiful. I have a gray AB on order, myself. I guess it should get here pretty soon.

Bufflehead Jones · Post by **Bufflehead Jones** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:41 pm

Those are nice looking hat stands. What does the top of them, where the hat sits, look like? Did you make those, or buy them somewhere? I don't think I have ever seen any like that.

The stands I bought from Capt_Zak (a member here). The tops are styrofoam domes. They work great.

You are going to be VERY happy when you get your Grey/Gray Hat from Steve. I just cannot tell you how soft this one is. One of the easiest hats I have ever had to bash. Mine was Open Crown.

Cheers,

SCHWEEET!!!! It's a beautiful fedora! I like the color, too. How does the softness compare to your brown AB?

Steve has stated since it's introduction (and from my own personal experience) that Winchester uses less stiffner in the gray felt, so it's a LOT softer than the standard brown.

Great hats. And great photos. I like the third one. Kind of; "Listen punk! You gona tell us what we want to know, or do I have to get rough?"

Ripper · Post by **Ripper** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 4:18 pm

Ya look like a G Man...G Man!

You can see the how soft it is, it looks great! Does the grey have a wider brim than the brown?

Wow...

Don't mess with the G-Mann!

Those look great!

G-MANN · Post by **G-MANN** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 4:34 pm

Thanks again.

The brim is the same. All I did was flip it down. I am not Messing with this one like I do with the Brown ones I have. Stricktly for Dress Occasions.

Cheers,
G-MANN

That is a beautiful hat, G. Fedora really has a nice color gray. It is well-styled and very nice.

It is a little dressier than the brown and compliments it well; filling in for the more formal occasions.

Enjoy it! It is a wonderful hat.

Nice looking suit G-mann.......I think the brown hat looks really good with the blue suit.

I like the Gray AB too. Looks like something right out of the 1930's and the softness even comes through in the pics.

Post by **Dalexs** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 11:12 pm

So how many grays does Fedora offer?
I assume this is not the same as the seaplane gray that HJ has, correct?

Nice hat BTW!

He has this gray as shown in G-MANN's photos, and he has (or at least HAD) a REALLY dark gray, which I also have....and wear daily.

Here's mine for reference. Looks like the same color. Obviously, it looks different in different lighting.

BTW, that's Spielberg hidden under that hat.

Yes!!! My exact thoughts when I saw that third photo. Looks like he stepped out of a 1930's detective movie. I would hate to have G-Mann on my tail!! Also, that third photo looks more color accurate on my pc.

Also, that is vintage black ribbon on the hat.(late 1940s) Hard to find the good stuff nowadays. I lucked up on a couple of hundred yards of this stuff awhile back. (non available for sale

You look very suave and debonaire.

AWESOME John!!!

Always a pleasure to see pics of you in "beaten up style", but these pictures have SO much style... outstanding! Simply outstanding.

Congrats on the lid, buddy.

I like the indoor pic. I am almost afraid to say, with a window nearby, how much it looks like the seaplane gray hat.

Fedora · Post by **Fedora** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 12:05 pm

Here is an Indoors pic

Wow. I really made that hat??? Folks forgive me, but I honestly look at pics of hats I have made and pause before it hits me that I actually made that hat. That is a nice hat, even if I did make it. This one is the 5 3/4 open crown height that John wanted.

I agree on the color as compared to the seaplane. It sure looks remarkably close to me. At least in the ballpark from what we see on screen. This gray is a chameleon the same way certain other colors are. In the sunlight, it appears gray. In the shadows it has a brownish tinge to it, and this really jumps out if you sit one beside a gray with blue undertones.

I don't normally post on threads involving hats just received, but couldn't help myself from chiming in here. Fedora

Post by **Dalexs** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 1:41 pm

So this is the only gray you're actaully making?
Because looking at this hat and seeing HJs in person, man, they look like 2 totally different beasts.
But that indoor shot, WOW! Very nice!

Fedora · Post by **Fedora** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 2:35 pm

So this is the only gray you're actaully making?

This is the gray that I use for the Raiders gray. I also have a charcoal gray. HJ does have this same gray, but just like the browns, the shade will vary from run to run, sometimes. You would not notice it, unless you put it side by side with another hat from another run. Generally these differences are in the lighter/darker department. Some runs will be lighter or darker than other runs. I am assured the same amount of dye is used each time, but various furs absorb slightly differently. A natural variation of sorts. Fedora

Bufflehead Jones · Post by **Bufflehead Jones** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:03 pm

Tone, we've invented the name of a new color.

Post by **Michaelson** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:16 pm

Uh, Hemingway and I have called this 'Seaplane Gray' ever since Fedora introduced it and we got ours over a year and a half ago.

Regards! Michaelson

Bufflehead Jones · Post by **Bufflehead Jones** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:25 pm

Okay, you guys thought of it, Tone and I made it official.

Takes off running to catch up to Tone.
