OK, I tagged that thread so I can follow it. I've checked the High Point's menu before and it sounds like I would have to eat there several times to try everything that sounded good. lol
Excellent color choice thanks to you, univibe, Not-Bogart and a few of the other guys here that I asked for opinions and thanks to Art, of course, for his excellent taste.
The fit is above and beyond any other hat I have...no gaps on the side and no padding to make it a little bit smaller...
I believe Art told me the crown is 5 1/2 open and the brim is 2 3/4. I don't really remember about the ribbon, but we discussed 8 or 9 ligne for the binding. Perhaps Art will chime in to answer that question better than I can. I mostly know that I'm all kinds of excited about it.
Thank you, Russ, rrog, Scion, Delthayre, Karl and Colby.
Delthayre, the color is granite. This is my first VS from Art Fawcett (though not my last) and I wanted a neutral color. Several loungers recommended this color, and Art told me it was his most neutral color. My pictures don't do it...
Thanks, Thunder and Scion. Scion the color is granite, and Thunder I can only claim choosing the style and color of the hat. Everything else about it was Art's creation.
I like the champ, thunder, especially the wide ribbon.
Today, I'm wearing this hat, a new one that came today from Art. It's my new, fantastic work of Art.
This hat is really nicer than I even imagined it would be. My pictures don't do it justice by any means. The color, the ribbon, the crease, the softness of the felt, the fit.....perfect...
Today after all my confusion and a loooonnnnng wait, I got to put on my head what I've been waiting for. I picked up this box at the post office:
Inside it was this box:
Inside the black box was the prize:
And this is the head it goes on:
Was the wait...
You're ahead now, but all of mine are for me. :eek: At least you're nice enough to share with Dee and the girls.
Maybe we should start an HA group. "Hi, my name is Bob. I'm a hataholic."
