Fedoras for the Whole Family

Luke Warmwater · Post by **Luke Warmwater** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:23 pm

While antiquing today I came across two small vintage fedoras for a very agreeable price. I snatched them up and after reblocking them using a cereal bowl I wet them down with a Febreze/water mix and rebashed them for my girls. I gave my old Stetson Temple to Mom and now we all have adventure hats:

Great picture Luke!

Your girls sure look happy.

BTW, Has anyone asked what those little yellow triangles on your pictures are? Sorry if I missed the explanation.

The triangles are his watermark for his pictures.

If you haven't printed this photo off on some quality photo paper, framed it and hung it on your wall, you need your head examined!!!!!

That's GREAT!!! and a memory I assure you that you will enjoy for years to come.

I'm serious....print and frame this photo. I have one hanging in my living room from a different situation of my two girls when they were about your girls age. Now that they are grown and gone, it brings back fond memories everytime I look at it.

HIGH regards, and a tip of my fedora to you, sir!

Heck, I'm thinking of printing that out and adding it to my wall of fame here in Rindge.

What a great picture!
You guys should all wear your fedoras when you go to see Crystal Skull!

Awesome...just awesome.

Look at the gorgeous color on that Stetson Temple!! Why can't Akubra come up with a Federation color like that?

Luke Warmwater · Post by **Luke Warmwater** » Mon May 12, 2008 3:56 pm

I also love the color of the Stetson. It's that taper that kills me. Looks good on the Mrs., though.

Kokopelli · Post by **Kokopelli** » Mon May 12, 2008 5:02 pm

yeah- I think you could put a chicken on her head and she'd look good! Beautiful family.

Luke Warmwater · Post by **Luke Warmwater** » Mon May 12, 2008 9:43 pm

Well, she has had a monkey on her head.

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Mon May 12, 2008 9:48 pm

Yeah, she's a keeper.

Nice!!!

JR · Post by JR » Mon May 12, 2008 10:58 pm

Beautiful...Man, I wished I got a fedora when I was a kid. I did ask my mom, since she ran the household, and said that girls don't wear "men's hats."

Great photo! It belongs hanging on your wall, framed. You got very lucky with the 2 small fedoras and your girls look fantastic in them. The old Stetson looks great on your wife too, what a really wonderful family portrait...

Ditto, great photo, I would love to fine some small fedoras for my 2yr. old twins, my have to some internet searching...

Dandelions... very dangerous. You go first.

Those are some awesome pics Luke!!! Looks like one of the little adventures went a bit crazy with the sidewalk chalk...lol. Reminds me of my house

Anyway, awesome fedoras and gratz on the finds for the little ones!!

Kokopelli · Post by **Kokopelli** » Wed May 14, 2008 10:21 am

...now let's see one with dandelions and monkeys!

Indiana MarkVII · Post by **Indiana MarkVII** » Wed May 14, 2008 10:34 pm

Great photos, all of them. The monkey shot had me laughing out loud. What fun! Archive all of them. The kids grow up way too fast. Those are precious.

Indiana G · Post by **Indiana G** » Wed May 14, 2008 11:14 pm

great pictures LW

you are a lucky man for sure....a household of females

when my baby was being born, i was hoping for a boy so that i could have a team-mate whenever we had guys vs. girls challenge. now it's 2 girls and my wife.....and i couldn't be happier. it looks like you're in the same boat

cheers and that picture is a keeper. thanks for sharing.

Luke Warmwater · Post by **Luke Warmwater** » Thu May 15, 2008 7:03 am

Well, we just had a boy 2 weeks ago today, so now I have my wing-MAN.

Young Indy729 · Post by **Young Indy729** » Thu May 15, 2008 3:51 pm

Well with the inspiration I made my $15, wool felt, taperd, teardrop crown fedora into a closer looking model of the raiders fedora. Exept the taper

but I should be getting an AB or Federation IV

. I'll at least have a hat to wear to KOTCS.

Luke Warmwater · Post by **Luke Warmwater** » Thu May 15, 2008 7:58 pm

Cool! No one will know the difference except us gearheads.

Look at some old movies from the 30's. Women wore tapered, petite like Fedora's.

Here's the boy wearing one of his sister's hats:

Get that baby his own Fedora!!

The Lady does indeed look fantastic. I think the Temple is quite suitable for many, and even though it's not The Raiders Hat, it is a great fedora and much better choice for some.

Great pics...great hats....and I like the seamaster you are wearing too, its a great watch!!!

That's one of those photos your family will treasure many years from now.

wow, that's a great photograph. I kid you not, I had already been saying for awhile that when I have a family I want them all to have fedoras.

And your family photo showed me how AWESOME it would be.

Thanks your sharing with us.
