this is my review of the downtowner and the uptowner hats from todds .......hope you enjoy , i'm still kind of new to the video making business

I had no idea the brim dimensions on Todd's hats were so different. I've never seen 3 inch front to 2.5 inch sides... and definitely not 3 inch front to 2.25 inch sides! They look like decent hats, but not something I could see myself wearing... But nice review none the less

i guess different "hats" for different folks , lol. but i hope that others who may be thinking about their first hat have an option , so if you others have a review anbout your others hats by , delk, penman fedorareaidrs, ect post them up , so they can be informed ,

I think the downtowner looks better on you... the brim dimensions suit your face better.

yeah the hat does look better on me plus the hat size was a 58 and the uptowner was a 57

I dont know if its because Im so used to seeing you in your downtowner, or because maybe you have a big head (no disrespect intended), but, on you, the DT looks 'right,' and the UT looks too small, in proportion t your face and head. Again, if I had seen you in the UT first and often, then my opinion might be reversed in that the UT would look 'right,' and the DT would look too big.

well i think with my head shaven at the moment it does look a bit weird with the uptowner but when my hair is grown it looks better , check out the pics from the indy bench thred i posted before i think the uptowner looks good on me .

Thanks for the review. This is a great way to get an idea of what the hats are like, especially the less expensive ones since the ABs and Penmans get LOTS of press here.

I was looking at both of these hats. Thanks a lot for the reviews, it helps to see them on someone.

i'm glad it helped , i remember asking questions about the hats when they first became available from todds and no one knowing much about them , thats why i decided to at least give some info and let people see what they look like ,

You did nice reviews of both the hats. Like afterthedog said it's a good way to know what they are like.

I might suggest the natural lighting of the outdoors to 'show' the felt color, bashing and dimesions better. jmo.

yeah i was going to do that , but the day i filmed that it was raining , lol




i will be shooting another vid of the hats outside today or tomorrow

here is the video of the hat in sunlight , i thought i was out of the shade but it looks as if i wasnt

Just a suggestion but step away from the tree.

i wanted to, but the tree is a 50 year old tree and takes up alot of the back yard
but it least it still shows the true color of the hats
i might have do it from the font yard maybe pics will suffice

well i hoped to enlighten some people on what the hats from todds look like , and it's your choice to make , have fun with whatever hat you purchase and from whomever builds it for you ,

well my hat reviews have gotten over 400 views i hope that people like the design of the hats and that many have liked what they have seen , and have decided on a great hat from Todds.

i bought another of todds downtowners hats after they reduced the size of the crown and i like it , the hat i got is for my son for his birthday , but he didnt mind me trying it on for size....

my downtowner , on the left(which i got when they were first released some years ago) and the new one for my son on the right .


i may have to buy another one for myself ---lol

Looking better with that one, I'd say, indyclone. Those dimensions suit you much more than the other.

How'd you get that nice top crease on your old one? Mine kinda flattens out a tad in the back (almost tear-drop-like).

I love the downtowner
