The second cowl we see Adam in after the pilot style is this one. Looks like it to me if you compare the trimming.
So the idea that an early first season shell was still being used in the third season tells me they had darn few shells floating around.
Chuck- are those little holes vents, and do you use them in any of your cowls?

Yep, they seem to be air vents.
No I've never done this.
I can't imagine wearing a cowl in L.A. for a full shooting day so they tried to make it as comfortable for Adam as possible.

Well, you guys are on the track I was thinking of.
Front side back and interior shot of each cowl.
Pilot, Season 1, Movie, Season 2, Season 3, Hubie, Alfred, Pink.
Who has those reference photos?

Can some enterprising, computer literate, person do a side by side of the second and third season cowls. I never knew there were differences.

The interior shots would be the tough find.
In each season they had variations in paint and fit since they were always trying to accommodate Adam's comfort.
They did a nice job getting close to uniform paint from one to the next because most folks didn't notice the differences but sometimes you got cowls like this!!
Made me think they were drinking at work like the show "Mad Men"...

Wow forgot about this one-- is this a case of the check mark eyebrows? You'd have thought someone would have taken the time to make a template or a stencil-- or at the very least take a polaroid photo. Then again later on a Hollywood seamstress strips one of the original cowls and recovers it from memory and thus the gilla cowl was born.

I think someone had more Old Fashioned's than Don Draper did throughout the run of that show in order to end up with that cowl...

Might be stronger than an Old Fashioned, Ben.
Where is the Gautier cowl being displayed in New Jersey, Chuck? Do we have any deets as the kids say?

Andy, it's going to be around Lakewood , N.J. I think.
Currently it is still in the collectors private warehouse.

Just another Tuesday, Chuck and I are talking cowls, and he pointed out to me that the curved nose line makes the nose look much pointier-- and it does! Holy optical illusion!

Well not the line, actually. It's the fabric grainline.

The center section of the movie cowls during construction had the grain lines flipped.
It's an easy mistake to make but it causes the satin to reflect light differently.
