Ever have one of those days when things you've ordered online all arrive on the same day? Well that's how things are shaping up for me. Today I received a hat block (52) and a hat flange. Just for fun I checked on my ribbon order and The UPS site says it's out for delivery!
Now I get to play...
Thanks DJH.
I really love what Art has done for me and for all the people that have had the pleasure of receiving a hat made him.
I recently just took a pic of this hat along with a Whippet (in the whippet thread) and a Cavanagh. I really need to expand into different colors!
Finally got the camera out today to take a few pics. Whippet I picked up in the (I'm assuming) original box. Written on the box: Royal Deluxe/Sil Bel/ 7 1/4/ $14.95
I REALLY want to get the hat, but I'm worried it won't fit. It's 7 1/8 & I'm a 7 1/4. I normally wouldn't be worried about it, but I know my luck and it's telling me the hat has done some shrinking. Of course I could just put it up like a trophy, but it's a hat and it should be worn!
That's really not a bad idea at all.
If I had to pick one though, I'd go with the VS. The experience with working with Art is just unforgettable and to have one of his hats is unbelievable.
Actually this reminds me I really need to post a pic of the hat he made me.
Out of curiosity, I googled the name of the store "The Man Store" (where the hat was originally sold) here in Asheville, NC and found a pic from 1964. Located on the right.
I also found a pic from 1927, but the image is huge and didn't look right in the thread.
Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted in the lounge, but my love for hats has never ceased.
I was in the process of of searching through vintage hats on an auction site, when I came across one that was originally sold in my town. Even though the hat is a size too small I was...
Found a couple of ads for the abercrombie jacket. One with patchwork and the other just a beige.
I tried to post them, but I kept getting the dreaded blue box with the question mark.
I'll own up
Alright, it's my jacket. I asked Indy to make this jacket because I am a big fan of Hunter Thompson and to be completely honest, a bigger fan of the original jacket.
I wanted to wait for the jacket to arrive before I posted on the board so I could see how it turned out. Indy sent...
