Canyon's Cairo bash

Post by Canyon »

Although my Adventurebilt initially started out as a Well of Souls bash, it has now evolved into a bash from Raiders from the scene just after the truck blows up.

It kinda started doing this by itself, and during this, I seem to have accidentally achieved something else.

The turn. :D

NIce lookin lid there lady, how about one with you wearing it, cause I'll bet it'll look awsome with the famous turn and all.
Just don't do it with a truck being blown up in front of you. LOL
Honestly though it looks good Canyon.

It's hard o see if the hat has "the turn" without seeing it on someones head.

I just wanted to bump this thread up because this thread has seemed to have been gotten buried and I think I may have possibly been the only one to come up with this theory (correct me if I'm wrong) :wink:

Didn't that zig zag come about in your travels last year in NY?

If you can believe it, every picture I got of that hat at the summits are the wrong angle to show evidence of the turn! D'Oh!

I think what stands out with this is the way the crown behaves. It subtly changes the look of the crown when viewed straight on, in a way that looks very SoC to me.

I get a wonky front pinch from using it to put the hat on. (I know, I know... regardless of what prolongs the life of the felt, it just feels like the right way to put a fedora on.)

Cool. I tried the zig zag on my hat, but it didn't really effect the front. Then again, the zig zags don't go as far forward as yours. :-k

That is a nice zig zag you have going on there.
I think I may have to try that on mine.
