Do you have any photos of yourself in the GH costume? I'd love to see what you were able to put together.

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

The difference is about the width of the black circle. If I print on gold foil I would use the circle as a guide and try to stay on or inside the line. BTW, that place Greg listed for the Gold foil has gold foil stickers in 0.75 inches. Might be difficult to get the printing to line up exactly, but ...

Here's a link to a circle die cutter from Fiskars:

Fiskars 174360-1001 Medium Circle Squeeze Punch, 1 Inch, White , Navy Blue https://a.co/d/2JDxs6q

This is 1 inch, and I believe the actual logo is 3/4 inch.

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

DrewMasie...I found an adhesive back gold foil inkjet printer paper and printed mine on that. It's not 100% (seems nothing is) but it's pretty darned good. That is good. May have to give that a try. Do you know the brand? It occurred to me that you could print the Hornet graphic on clear sticker pa...

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

Does anyone make the mask that is hand painted with fluorescent highlights? Very unlikely, it would be too time consuming and costly to hand paint a 1inch logo on a mask that sells for $100 or less. Getting a descent sticker of the logo is hard enough. Maybe if you know someone that paints Warhamme...

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

Did the guy who brought Van the screen used Green Hornet mask know the whereabouts of the hat? If he had the original mask, he would have tried to buy the hat too. Since they sold the mask, someone must have bought the hat and coat. And for some reason are keeping it a secret. If your reason for tr...

Here's a suggestion for the scarf issue: You could use safety pins and pin it to the inside of the coat so just the amount you want showing is visible.

Cool. I'm curious to see how it looks with the ensemble.

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

This looks reasonably close for a low price. Just remove the feather and change the grosgrain ribbon to black.

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

Great detective work by the forum members. The costume changed from the initial promotional materials and during the production of the show itself. As we've discussed before, Van had three different masks, and if you watch the screen tests of other candidates for the role of Britt Reid, they wore a ...

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

I would think the best source for color match would be the Hornet episodes on the Batman Blueray. I'm not sure if this image is from the Blueray since I cant capture it myself. Good idea. Although my experience has been that people at conventions don't care if you're outfit is 100% screen accurate,...

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

I think the early promo photos showing Van in his early style mask suffer from some inaccurate color hue, film processing, reprints issue perhaps??(And also the subsequent mask promo photos also.) Here are two photos from the same photo session, to me, on my computer, the one on the right show a mo...

Re: What kind of hat style did the Green Hornet wear and what color was it?

I have one of the CY hats, and as I mentioned in a previous discussion, it is high quality (and $$), but it doesn't look that great on me. The hatmaker he uses is https://www.lawdoghatcompany.com/ out of Billings, Montana, so you may be able to go directly through Randy Rains and save some money if ...

Re: What if...?

Great subject. The Hornet (or Batman for that matter) would need a variety of tools and methods for gathering intelligence (bugging devices, ways to hack into cell phones and computers, satellites for surveillance, Mission Impossible-level stuff), monitoring the presence of bad guys, and civilians (...
