Raiders Hat VS. Crystal Skull....

[joeyofarimathea]

i just got this quote from Marc....

"The Raiders crease vs. the CS crease is the lack of the tight front pinch on the CS hat and the lack of the turn . "


i understand the tight front pinch but im not clear on the "turn"? can someone describe the term "turn" please? also which hat has the "lack of turn" the Raiders or CS?

Thanks for reading,

Ok, The Raiders hat was turned, the Crystal Skull hat was not. For more on this I'm going to turn this over to...me from a topic a page or so back.

As far as turning the hat there are a few thoughts on this. (And I know going into it that I'll leave something out but...) As near as we can tell (thanks 3 thoubucks and Steve) the Raiders Fedora was in key sequences and I quote..."The front pinch in the Raiders crown was installed about 2/3 of a inch OFF CENTER. Therefore, the hat was worn "turned" about 2/3 inch OFF CENTER.
Thus, every element of the hat is asymmetrical, and, the hat is actively coping with distortion, giving it a certain lively tension." To sum up, it's this turn that gives the Raiders Fedora the distinctive brim warp and thus adds to the look so many of us look for in the Raiders hat.

Take a search around, for "Raiders turn". In Raiders, the hat is turned, as is to say it was placed on Ford's head and rotated to the right a ways. This gives that mis-shapen brim we see in Raiders.

Which makes it look rockin' awesome!

Aside from the pinch and turn, it was my understanding that the CS brim isn't as wide/swooping as the Raiders brim, right?

This was kind of already disscused.
