Colors
Does anyone have examples of the different available colors so we can see them in comparison?
Sahara
Pecan
Sage
etc....
I know Jimmy offers a bunch of different colors, but it would be nice if we had some kind of palette to compare them.

If only someone would photograph them under the same lighting conditions! Pecan was a popular color through the 1940's. I like Walnut and Almond as well, though one needs to see what the Hatmaker is using since there are no absolute standards.

I have samples from another hat maker that include those color names. Would you like me to try to photograph them?
I also own a hat made of pecan colored felt. It's one of those "blends with what you're wearing" colors. Very nice. Very versatile. Remember, this is not a JPD, but should be in the ballpark of his Pecan.

That's a very sharp hat and I would love to see the other colors if you have the time!Chewbacca Jones wrote:I have samples from another hat maker that include those color names. Would you like me to try to photograph them?

Thanks Gabrielle.
OK, I took several pictures of the samples. Outside, I didn't move them or touch them between shots. I basically took a picture with every setting on my camera, with and without flash. I discarded the really bad ones. These should give you an idea of what to expect from felts of a similar name. At least from the custom hatters, because they often use the same suppliers.

I was tired of those, anyway. I decided to get all new hats for next winter!binkmeisterRick wrote:Awful nice of you to cut up your hats for that, Chewie.
Toobacat; That looks like one of Art's creations. Am I right?
Gabrielle; Be warned. Bound brims are very addictive. If you order from Jimmy, keep in mind his standard bound edge is thinner than what you see on my pecan hat. Also, if you need any advice on non-Indy hats, just let me know. We live fairly close, so if you want to see some in person, I'd be happy to oblige.
