Club Obi Wan

You sound like me 8 months ago.

Regard! Michaelson

Ok, Mark. Time to pony up some pics.

Dave

Who says!?

Yep. I have no excuse......same old same old.

Regard! Michaelson

It really blows my mind when I see Indy-esque hats in a different color. It looks simply amazing!
That hat would look fantastic with a matching suit!

I'm so happy the this thread/hat was bumped as I would never have seen it otherwise.

Fedora, Bravo sir ! That is an absolutly beautiful hat. Mila has on occasion lamented that I rarely ever venture out from under my Indy hat and into a diffrent style or color. Which is true...I'm a creature of habit, but I think I'd step out of my box for this hat. It's sublime. Thanks for showing us a great look.

Michaelson, That's a hat for wearing proudly about town! Now a reminder...pictures!!!

Cheers!
Johnny

Yeah this hhat solidified my purchase of a sahaa hat from Steve. I asked him to put a copper/rust colored ribbon on it though, instead of the camel color. Different specs though. I can't wait to get it. Should be sometime this year.

Mark, I want to see pics by next Monday. That's your homework...and Michaelson, chapters four and five.

Dave

I just finished up one for my partner Marc. Same color, same hat really. Started it in Sept and finished it up last week. Almost 6 month again! But, understand, I have to work just a little over a long period of time, in order not to interfer with my regular hatmaking. Next will be Dave's and then finally me!!!! So, Marc, Michaelson and I, will be wearing the same hat. The 3 Amigos. Dave wants the copper ribbon, I think, which I can't wait to see on this hat. Looks great holding up it against the hat body though. And so vintage like too. That's the great thing about alot of vintage hats. They really used the ribbon color to set the hat off, when you left the brown color hats. Art Fawcett specializes in this vintage combos, and I got the idea from looking at his work on another forum. I just add the adventure look to my hats. It's the Indy influence that I am enamored with, to a large degree. Plus, it brings back the dimensional brim that isn't new, but was seldom used, even in the old days. There really is nothing new in hatting. If you think you have come up with something new, chances are, you didn't! Fedora

Steve, you have my permission to make yourself this hat before you make mine. Please do. You deserve that. Call me before it goes on the block though as I want to talk specs with you. And you have no idea how awesome it is to hear that the felt/ribbon combo "looks great." Oh, and please post pictures of Marc's hat before you send it out. I really want to see it!

Quiet, you! Who let you out? Get back in your cage!

Dave

Will do Dave!

On Marc's hat, I did not get any pics as it was basically the same as the one on this thread. After I had made it, I saw where I had wrote down that Marc wanted the khaki ribbon! So, I guess he will have to suffer the camel, until he needs me to refurb it! But, I like this camel/sahari combo. Earthtones still, which always looks good. Fedora

Nice choice Dave, I LOVE LOVE LOVE copper ribbon!

Dave

I'll do the reading, but I NEVER turn in homework.

Regards! Michaelson

Well, homework makes up 15% of your final grade so you better study for your exams and write all your research papers!

Dave

As usual. Well, at least I can hope you grade on a curve....

Regards! Michaelson

Yes, I do curve my tests and quizes, but should Fedora keep breaking that curve (what an over achiever), well, your stuck in a Well of Souls with no viable way out.

Dave

Been there. Done that. Carry a flashlight at all times, so no biggie.

Regards! Michaelson

Well, you did write that book that Indy is always referring too, so I guess so.

Seriously, though, I want to see some pics of this hat so whenever you get a chance, please take those pics. Even if its the ol' "looks at me in the mirror" shot.

Dave

That's never been the problem. It's getting me, the equipment, and the ways and means of downloading said shot onto the internet all in the same place at the same time. This old home computer is so worn out, there's no way to download photos. That has to be done somewhere else. The daughters have the cameras.

I'll see what we can do, though. The youngest daughter is home this weekend, though not at the moment. SHE has the camera, and the ways and means of downloads at a friends house. Hopefully at least that can get done, but I promise nothing.

Regards! Michaelson

No promises necessary, my friend.

How are you finding matching this hat up with your wardrobe now that you've had it in your rotation for a few months? Was the difficulty just when your first received the hat or does it persist. I have a feeling I will get sahara to match up nicely with much of my wardrobe but I won't know until I have it in hand.

Dave

I'm one of those folks who rarely bothers 'matching' things up. Even my daughters have kidded me for years that for whatever reason, I can seem to wear completely non-matching clothing, and somehow it works.

I've worn this hat with black and brown jackets, khaki trousers and blue jeans, any color shirt that's clean and ironed....no problem.

So far, nothing but thumbs up from anyone who has noticed, but that said, hardly anyone even notices or cares one way or the other.

Regards! Michaelson

That's good to hear. Thanks, my friend.

Dave

This really is a fine looking hat, I must say. One of the things I love about this color is you can match it up with so many different ribbon colors. Very versatile, very stylish, very well done as always!

Yes. Sahari is a neutral color. Which means, almost any other color will go with it. I learned that not from fashion, but from the counter tops that I had to install on my cabinets way back. But the same pertains to hats. A neutral color will go with any ribbon color, just depends upon personal taste. Fedora

Steve, do these sahara bodies have a lot of stiffener in them or are they very floppy?

Dave

and I got my eye for it due to being a painting contracter many moons ago... Alas, the chapter's of our lives weave the fabric of who we are...
Sorry, drifting again,.... need coffee

Ok, the wheel should be turning today for a photo being made....though they turn slowly, we may get some movement while we have sunshine to take the picture.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE! The date_eating_monkey just took a photo. She has to take it to another computer to download (because she says ours is prehistoric ) and will post it here. Once again.....stay tuned.

Regard! Michaelson

Great news! Can't wait to see the picture.

Dave

That makes two of us!

You just want to see if I really exist, Dave. WE know what you're up to.

Michaelson, I bet your computer is so old it doesn't even handle bytes, just nibbles.

You caught me!

I have a theory that you are in fact a super computor with self-awareness and emotions, like the one from Dean Koontz's Demon Seed...only with a killer 'stache and an AB I really want to see...

Dave

Dang. Am I that transparent.

Regards! Michaelson

I hope not. If you are transparent, all we'll see in that elusive photograph is a hat floating above a jacket with way too much Pecards.

Dave

That could be arranged......

Regards! Michaelson

Why am I suddenly terrified this pic is gonna look like this

In reality, I have seen more pics of Sasquatch than of ...

Travis

Darn, Travis, you beat me to the posting of the photo!

Well, Dave, there you are!

You can almost make out my moustache too!

Your right. You can match it up with anything in your wardrobe.

Dave

...and that photo proves it too!

Regards! Michaelson

Greeting everyone! Long time, no see. Date_Eating_Monkey here again to entertain the masses. As I understand it, everyone has been missing out on the glory of Michaelson's new hat. Weelllllll, I'm happy to say that I am here to share the awesomeness of it with EVERYONE! ....because I'm cool like that. So, gather round and gaze in amazement at dear ol' dad sporting his new fedora. Yay!!

Love to the Indys!

Outstanding hat you got there. I will never get tired of seeing Steve's work. it looks sharp and it's good t see you in a hat. Enjoy it for many, many years.

Well, Steve, Michaelson, and DEM.... That is one sharp looking hat. I don't know who gets the compliments here... Steve for making it, Michaelson for making it look good, or DEM for making the sight available for us....

Truly, that is a great hat and the colors are spectacular.

Michaelson, I hope you enjoy the hat.

Looking forward to getting mine.

Mike

HE REALLY DOES EXIST!!!!! Great hat.

Travis

Yep, there I am in all my 'glory'.

Thanks for posting it for me, young'n! Love ya!

And thanks for the compliments, and as you say, Steve gets all the credit! I'm just wearing the hat.

Regards! Michaelson

M, your my size aren't you? Where do you live again?
