Advintage Light Sable VS Raiders Sable

Post by cybertrek »

Hello,
Here is a natural light comparison of my 2 Streets of Cairo Advintage fedoras. Thomas worked very closely with me on
numerous details like the crease behind the ribbon, the bow defect and asymmetric crown.
After receiving it I made a few extra adjustments to the Raiders Sable hat.
I wanted to show the different colors in natural light since the felt has quite a chameleon quality in various lighting.

The Raiders Sable color is lighter weight and more pliable. It is also noticeably thinner, which is what the actual hat looked to be. The
work and finish on everything I have seen from him are top notch and I'll soon be getting one of these in grey.

The new color looks so good in any light.

Thanks for looking and enjoy.
Jim

Yes
The Raiders Sable is new and looks great in person.
For some reason it photographs darker than it is.

The 3rd pic with it is the most accurate color but still a little dark. Its quite the chameleon
in different lighting.

Both look great, but the Raiders Sable looks richer than the light sable. I like that!

Anyone with a light sable Advintage that you can post? Wanted to see if it was much like Raiders?
