A ToD Fed IV

Post by Kredepops »

I'm in the process of making a ToD display outfit for my Indy mannequin. I bought this Federation IV used on ebay especially because it had some taper and a loose pinch.

So what do you guys think? Does it work as a ToD fedora or does it need a new bash or block or trim? It's a size 60 because the bust has sculpted hair and can't fit a size 58. Which also mean that I can't wear it myself.

Please disregard the jacket - that's my old Wested Raiders, I use that until I can order Wested's ToD jacket.
I've also lightened the photos in Photoshop, the hat is actually a bit darker and not so reddish in colour.

Looks pretty good to me, especially the scene in the airplane cockpit early in the movie!

Excelsior!

I might flatten the front of the brim a bit, but looks dead on to me otherwise.................

Looks like a really good TOD hat to me! I agree just flatten the brim a little and it'll be great :TOH:

I'll echo Oklahoma and Noah; I would flatten the brim a bit. Especially the front.

Thanks for your thought and comments guys! :TOH:

I'll try to flatten the brim a bit, it has a tendency to warp a bit though, because the bust has a sculpted 'clump' of hair in the front.
