    Post New Hats Here!

    Well, I'd say that it depends on the hatter! I originally ordered this hat in person when Paul's had a store in Louisville. It was the first custom hat I ever ordered, and, after trying on what they had on the rack, I was measured and placed my order based on the specs that matched the one I...

    Thanks, Anthony. I am very much looking forward to seeing your VS when it comes in.

    Yes, I think the ribbon really jazzes up the hat. But Art also reshaped the crown, and re-flanged and cut down the the brim a little, all to good effect. Always trust the maestro.

    Not really a new hat, but a refurbishment project executed by Art Fawcett at VS of a long-hair rabbit I purchased about 4 years ago from Paul's Hatworks, when they had a subsidiary office in Louisville. After a long struggle to get this thing looking good, Art finally comes through with a...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Received my beaver-felt Dove from Art on 9/1/16, which, coincidentally was the opening day of Dove season. Although I didn't go out in the field this year, I am very pleased with the dove I bagged from VS. Wonderful color and flawless craftsmanship. Just finished refining the crease this...

    All I can say is WOW! I may be going to Germany for a couple of weeks in late May/early June. I guess I'll have to make room for a trip to the Dortmund. fleamarket.

    Movie hats

    I saw Atlantic City shortly after if came out in 1981. I don't remember being terribly impressed at the time; however, I saw it again a couple of months ago, and thought it was pretty danged good. Of course, considering the standards of movies these days, I suppose even a decent film from...

    Hat look worn?

    Dang! If you get 5 pinch-holes you could buy a custom beaver-felt from Mr. Gannon! A true story relevant to this discussion just came to mind. When I was living in El Paso, I dated a girl whose grandfather was used as an extra when Lone Wolf McCade (starring Chuck Norris) was filmed around...

    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    That's the same with me! Just when I thought I'd hold off for a few months on making any more custom orders, something like this comes along. I'm REALLY tempted to have a clone made. And I don't even know who Nick Fouquet is!
