ACME OST Tricorn Along with other pirate hats.

[*Acme* brand]

Hey Brethren Peeps,
Just Taking time To Reintroduce myself to the New class Of Sparrows.
Yes it does Seem like every couple of years its a whole new Class.
So here's Some Pix Of My OST Tricorn along with other Pirate themed hats
And a couple of Leather Top Hats to boot.
Without Stretching the truth I'd say Ive made atleast
200 Tricorns over the last 8 1/2 years.
hope you enjoy partial list my Body of Haberdashery work.
FYI: at some point around 2007 I Acquired a Screen used
AWE Sparrow Tricorn.
I committed the ultimate sin and took it apart
to copy the pattern.




On to my OST Tricorn!!

























The Rest of my work Are below as clickable thumbnails for you to peruse at your leisure.


















Thanx and enjoy.
Any questions feel free to PM me.

All the best,
Richard aka ACME

Very nice stuff! I especially like the Davy Jones inspired one.

Couple questions, since I'm terribly curious: First off, I'm dying to know, about what size is the screen-used hat? I've always wondered if Depp's wig made his noggin' as big as most of us Sparrow nuts, heh. And secondly, what would you say are the key differences between your OST Jack hat and the rest of them you've made?

OI McCool,
Two very good Questions sir.

1) If you take a good look at the first Picture above.
the Answer is staring you in the face in
the way of Centimeters..64.5 is equal to just shy of 25.5 inches. which 25 and 26 inches are my
Most requested sizes for my hats sold on ebay. so yes Johnny's head size is incredibly normal.
I will say for the new OST hat most people are wanting a 27-28 inch hat. ive even have had
a request for a 32" but I declined to make that size for i feel no matter how much tweaking i would do to the pattern it probably just wouldnt have looked correct.
I believe Johnny's new hat was also stretched to fit over the new OST WIG because there is a slight dimple in the front portion of the dome (you can really notice it in the carriage scene with Gibbs)
and this Normally happens when you stretch a hat more than an inch or so.



Question 2)
the Difference between this latest OST hat and my Earlier Ost hats are I
used to wrinkle the leather a bit to match Mr.Cornejo's "Jack#2" hat.
that was pretty early on.but between seeing a couple tricorns on display at EL CAPITAN, Hottopic,
Hi Rez Promos and pausing the blu-ray I think what we see on screen isnt nearly as crumpled
as Christains.altho he is one Lucky Pirate for scoring that hat!! I must thank him for sending me some
pix of his with a tape measure in various positions and a mini video as well. Thank You Christian.
so I believe between His Help and Measurements of his on set OST hat and My AWE On set Hat
I was really able to get as close as possible to the correct pattern.
lastly I added a bit more red to the dye.
as you can see in the pic below there was a flash used in that school pic of Johnny
and the pic of my hat was in natural daylight shade .so all i did on the upper
pic of my hat was crush the blacks IE: add contrast(to quasi emulate a flash) and the same pic below is
without any photoshop alteration.(sans the watermark)
even tho the new OST hat Is frumpy
there is a definite shape to it around the beak
and the side wings.
and I feel the pic below shows I captured it Pretty dang good.
OI OI OI!!!


All the best,

Brilliant! Thanks mate! That answered my questions perfectly! Yeah, I totally missed the centimeter measurement in the hat pic, whoops. But that's very interesting to know. And yeah, I'd say the new OST hat has quite well captured the shape and color of the screen-used one.

Had a look at your eBay listing... might be interested in a month or two (trip back to the UK at the end of this month has eaten all my spare moneys). The only bits I'm missing now are my hat, my boots and all the make-up stuff. My wig is 50% done, and I have all the other clothing bits.

I'll send you a message through eBay as this feels like the incorrect place to transact any business (same username as on here).
