Comments on: Having a hat made through Etsy http://opencrown.com/having-a-hat-made-through-etsy/ Men's hats and the love thereof Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:47:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Buket Atacan http://opencrown.com/having-a-hat-made-through-etsy/comment-page-1/#comment-61 Buket Atacan Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:31:34 +0000 http://opencrown.com/?p=119#comment-61 Hi Steven, It made me sad to read at your blog about the fez because you can inform me that you did not like it. I informed you to make twin if there was a picture which shows the upside of the hat. This was the only picture of the hat you want and you wanted this one as a starting point and something close as a knitted fez. Yes, the fez is made by felt originally. A knitted one is very difficult to make it because of it has to stand upright. The model of fez which you sent is just like a fringed snow beret more than a fez. And I made a fez as a real fez because I thought you want a fez in its original form. It is tall because this hat is a different style for wearing. It must be put on the head, not wear completely. And it must stand on the head as Pissa Tower. If you wish, I am ready to refund half of the payment. Again it made me sad that not to inform me about the hat and your manner. Best regards, Bouquetspecialdesign Hi Steven,

I still love the one on the left and think I might go back to the maker in the UK, whom I think could probably do it properly. @Marc Ho, ho :) Whatever we call it, the one I got wasn't exactly a twin of the one I wanted. I think I'd have had fun with a Stephen Jones hat. The other is a laugh but not in the right way :( @Annalie Sadly, the tres chic one on the left (on the mannequin) is the one I wanted copied; the one on the right (purer in its chimmney-like fez shape) is the one I’ve got.

The one on the left is quite slimming, although it makes you look even pastier than usual. But seriously: a fez isn't knit. It's made of felt, isn't it? So it's not quite fair to treat a knit fez as something other than a knit cap. I dunno. The one on the left is quite slimming, although it makes you look even pastier than usual.

Methinks the bottom left is TRES CHIC! Much more stylish than the bottom right.....and quirky! You could auction it if you didnt like it- I think its very beautiful!
