Great pictures tekors. You know how (and certainly where) to wear your hat.

The best thing about COW is to see so many different styles around. Each member puts his own touch in so many beautiful hats or jackets.

In Brasil, any time is ALWAYS a good time for churrasco (bbq)!tekors wrote:Gents,
I planned to go as Indiana Jones to a halloween party. But my friends protested saying it's not a costume for me because it's part of me and my character. I loved to hear that
So, I've decided to go as a gangster...with a suit and the hat. Since I don't own a grey lid I went with my Indy brown one.
Look the mushroom shape of the hat as a result of the elastic band trick...I really liked, very boxy.
(If you can just look to the hat instead of the ladies of course)

No, dude. I was talking about your friends giving you grief about being Indy for Halloween. Your hat looks great. Nothing to set straight there.tekors wrote:Hi Dave,DR Ulloa wrote:Set, them straight, tekors. Wearing a fedora does not MAKE you Indiana Jones, just fashionable...even if it is an Indy fedora.
Dave
I suppose you're referring to the hat sides. I just like it more the reverse taper looking.
Reading back my messages, I don't see where I wrote I was feeling like Indy. Anyways, I am not intending to be Indiana Jones, though I am a big fan I have my own style.
I wear the fedora and the jacket because I love hats and jackets, not to feel like Indy (ok, maybe a bit ). And I suppose most COW fellow members wear their hats for pleasure not a costume for parties or so.

Too much coffee i guess or too much obsession with hats.
But thanks anyway... my friends sometimes ask me why I am obsessed with any Indy stuff... I jsut tell them: only fans can understand... never mind!!!

After only a few minutes of staring at each photo I was able to find you! (I'm so proud of myself... I'm really growing as a human being!)
And you looked FANTASTIC, my friend! Well done! You defintely managed to create that well-known "gangster look" (and nice threads, by the way!)

Speaking English pretty well doesn't mean you know all the expressions and colloquialism
Oh, and on the Dutch speaking better English than the British: I guess you never heard our former Prime Minister (Mr. Balkenende, the one who looks a lot like Harry Potter) butcher your language then

It's dark here almost always now due to the short days and lousy weather. I've tried to take some from inside, but they just look @#$%. I need a nice bright day to do it any justice.....I've also got a new LC Penman to show off as well, but can't get a decent shot.
I really need a Squidkidd..

Re: Henry display and property discussion page
Thank you all for the kind words. When I first got my Henry, I felt my head wasn't wide enough which made the brim look too wide on me, so I gave it the LC curl and the Raiders pinch (no turn) though there is a TINY turn, not much to count.Ian wrote:Great shot General!!

If I ever get a Christies hat, that will be turned into a SOC all the way with turn - but really, my Henry is so nice and has been so well-worn, I really don't NEED another Indy hat (I would feel like I was cheating!)
The photo was taken outside of the "Tower Of Terror" attraction at Disney.

Re: Henry display and property discussion page
Recently I flew to Egypt to cover the elections there. When I was getting inside the plane, one of the MEA flight attendant girls looked to me and said: "I liked your hat"....
Thanks, I said ... Hum , that was a nice way of starting a trip, I thought to myself.
The thing is, during the flight from Beirut to Cairo, this beautiful Lebanese lady stopped to talk to me and asked more about my hat, bla bla bla... and it happened that she was going to stay in Cairo for some days off at friend's house.
End of story... we dated a couple of nights... and I am sure I will never leave home without my hat
Adventure Bilt rocksss

A couple of days in Cairo with a beautiful stewardess where your Adventurebilt was the icebreaker?
Teko my friend, you are living the dream.
My Christmas Wish to all our single C.O.W. Members is that they perhaps enjoy something of a similar (but custom-made to their own tastes) adventure themselves sometime.

I've seen this article some months ago. What she wrote is totally @#$%. Just like the film critics sometimes.
I guess she had a very very bad experience or date with a guy in a fedora, and she blamed the hat
I get compliments about my hat all the time, most of them are women....

Re: Henry display and property discussion page
I'm soon to be sending my Henry to John for a reblocking/resizing. Also having a new sweatband and liner put in. I'm going to miss it so I hope the turnaround time is quick - but I know you can't rush art!
Re: Henry display and property discussion page
My Henry showed up today. In a great hatbox too I might add.
A smidge tight on my forehead. I might be more oval shaped. Will the Henry conform to my head in time?
Lousy iSight photo...

Re: Henry display and property discussion page
Is it leaving a red line on your forehead?
Is there a gap between the sides of your head and the sweatband?
Final question: did you speak with whomever you ordered it?

I have not really worn it that long, but I don't think its going to leave a red line. There is maybe a 1/8" gap on the sides. I have not contacted anyone on it.
If I squeeze the hat on the sides as I drop it on my head, it glides on easily and kind of locks in place. This is the first sized hat I've purchased so I'm not familiar with it. My only other hat before this is a wool hat sized large...

Re: Henry display and property discussion page
Don't worry about it email68,
It will take around 2 months for the hat to conform to your head. When new, hats are like this... overtime they smooth, get character and conform to the owner's head.
Wear it as much as possible, every day if you can... the more you wear your lid the faster it will take to fot you right.
