Back to the Future Marty's Holographic Cap (BTTF)

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

@Spyhunter2k, the new pattern looks great, but there is one thing I think needs tweaking. I do not thing the sides are actually perfectly vertical. My tweaked pattern had them sloping inwards so the new walls were about 1/4" in at each end (at the point where the triangles begin) making that point of the pattern a full 1/2" narrower than your original pattern. The sloping turned out to be too much, but I do think it's necessary, so could you slope your sides in say 1/8" on each side, making that point 1/4" narrower than the square version?

Sure, will whip it up in a bit...

Fingers crossed! If it needs to be tweaked further, I'll see what I can do.

Any updates Indy?

No, nothing yet... I've got so many projects in the air at the moment, it's tough to find time for them all. Will get to this as soon as I have a free minute.

@Indy Magnoli, I do not have experience with buying hats from you, so I am curious if this will come in different sizes as to be accurate it is a fitted hat and not adjustable. I think it would be acceptable to just have small, medium, and large sizes as exact measurements I think would demand too much from the makers and still keep the correct shape.

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

Yes, the plan is to offer them fitted in S, M, L.

Indy Magnoli, I hope everything is going smoothly.

Still working on the mock-up piece to confirm the pattern.

Anyone have anything to post about? Its been stagnant for about a month now.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

Just super busy at the moment... juggling many projects with very little time. Will post news as soon as I have some.

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

Hope this project hasn't been abandoned.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

Absolutely not.... just trying to find time for our various projects is tough.

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

Indy Magnoli, is it safe to assume this will be on the back burner for quite a while?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

MitasTouch, nope... in fact, I just made a Version 3 mock-up yesterday and think we've finally got the pattern nailed down. This will be sent off to our factory today... so things are moving forward!

Kind regards,
Magnoli

The screen used one doesn't have stitching on the brim I believe. Otherwise looks good!

Re: Where to buy accurate BTTF2 cap?

That photo is just to show the shape of the crown. The brim will be longer and with no stitching.

Was that made from my V3 pattern as is, modified, or a hybrid of patterns?

Can't wait to buy one. Get ready for a ton of orders lol. The community has wanted a better cap for ages.
