Thanks so much Guys and Happy New Year to you all!!!
Thanks Larry!
Hey Lou, they are blue. Thanks!!
Hey Ben, Thanks!!
The real cowls were banged together so quickly. I think the sillier they looked to the production the better.
For this cowl in particular I couldn't bring myself to put one ear an inch higher than the other! I didn't fold the ears like they did so much in the third season either.
The snaps are also sewn on evenly !
But I imagine that the one pictured above would be looking ratty in no time if used at there speed of their shooting schedule.
Quick, Everyone, Flee for your lives, into the street!!!!
The third season ears are blue?? Geez Louise Chuck you are killing us! You were the one who taught us they were black now we're back to blue! I think it was a good plan to not go with the flopsy mopsy ear style often seen in S3.
Do you think there were less cowls being used by the Third Season? We often see cowl variations in the early episodes, sometimes even within an episode, but I wonder if by S3 the budget was such that they had fewer to work with.
Hey Andy, I think you are thinking of someone else regarding the ear color. I've always made blue ears.
When I started making cowls the Hardeman cowl was already photographed by Wally and the blue ears were known.
Absolutely fewer cowls in the third season!
I am pleasantly surprised how well they matched the paint on them. You can see the differences but it's more like the first season. Subtle.
The second season is crazy in how different they all are.

Wow- I just walked over to my Chuck cowl with a flashlight-- and you are right (as I would only imagine you would be) they are dark blue.
All these years-- I was living a lie!
I think I was thinking of the discovery of the face portion being black which goes WAAAAY back.
Andy, you sound just like Wally when he saw the Hardeman cowl for the first time.
He posted here about the ears and was just as surprised to see blue instead of black.
That's what I love about this silly show! Always more fun around the corner!!

Chuck, I have a question. As much as I love what you've improved with the cowl, I was wondering is there a way to design a cowl where the ears doesn't appear PASTE ON? Could there be enough fabric in the profile where it could go over the ears to be part of it? Seemless.
