sweet hat..is that SOC or Idol grab

McFly · Post by **McFly** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 5:08 pm

Looks like a SOC to me. I love the brim!

Maker.... let's see... not AB. Not a Fed IV (unless you bashed it?)

How about Penman?

Wow!! I'm sorry I doubted your bashing skills! I didn't think anybody could bash a hat like that unless they were a pro!

Dang, that is one awesome looking hat! I only hope I can get a bash even remotely that good on my hat when it arrives. Great job!

Great job bashing a that hat Holt. If you spend the time like Holt did you should get a good looking hat as well.

I would like to see some other pics Holt.

I can't wait to see what you do with mine.

I wish my girlfriend would buy me a hat, as opposed to wondering why I want another. And I wish she'd buy one just like yours... or maybe I'll buy one myself.... Dangit, it's threads like these with great hats like that that keep me up at night! Great lid!

Great bash. I too have a Fed IV and want that bash. How does the back of the hat look? Does it curl up or down like in the film? Please detail the steps taken in making such a fine lid.

Post by **Holt** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 7:03 pm

thanks

yes it curls up..it is has pretty much the same look all around like in the film

I must say that lid is perfect. The Cairo look is my personal favorite. My AB is going to need to look like that soon! lol

Darn good bash on that one, kind of makes you teary eyed, well almost.
