    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thanks everyone! This is my fourth piece of Art and I'm constantly amazed every time! As great as it looks now, it looks much better in person! Art and I found that it is sometimes hard to capture the Cabernet felt color in photos, since it tends to look lighter in most photos like in mine and...

    Hope you recover soon, Art. The new hat arrived and I just love it! Since this was an adapted version of your Round Midnight, I will call mine 'Round About Midnight, after the Miles Davis record. Also, since I never asked when you made it, what was the color name of the main, dark ribbon...

    Nice hats, TomS! I've also noticed the hats in this season of Boardwalk Empire like Eli's. One I had my eye on is the hat of Dunn Purnsley, the henchman of Chalky White whose secretly helping Doctor Narcisse with the heroin sales. I've also noticed that another random henchman of Chalky's have a...

    Here are some more pics in natural light, which shows the color of both the purple liner and the black cherry felt.

    Got my new hat from Art! I asked Art for the Tuxedo Junction he had on his site (http://www.vintagesilhouettes.com/limited_edition/Tuxedo%20Junction.htm), with a few modifications: -Longer, 2-5/8 brim -Feather-light felt in the new black cherry shade -Dark Purple lining. But after a...

    I would like to take up on the offer for the cutoff sample. I can't wait to see other hats pop up with this shade, though, since I feel what usually helps influence my decisions in felt colors is by seeing it in full hat form from different pics and how they match with different shape, ribbon...

    Dangit Art! Why did you have to go around doing something like that! Posting a new color and making me want another hat! This post and seeing all the hats while recently watching "Guys and Dolls" have created some heavy temptations. I just hope I can be sated by the Tuxedo Junction that I hope...

    Those are awesome ribbon works, Seabass and Mike! Anyone know what colors Art has available for Milan straws and how much he charges for them? I won't order one now since I have another hat on queue, but good to know if I wanted one in the future.

    Damn, that's a beauty, Rabbit! I've been mulling over a hat on Art's site for a while now, but seeing your posts with the new black cherry shade cinched it for me. I have sent a message to put an order in and now the waiting begins.

    Agree with everybody. Rabbit's collages helped a lot when coming up with ideas for hats because as helpful as the felt samples were, it's sometimes different seeing it wider on a full size hat, if that makes any sense. And as Bowlerman said, the ribbon can change the look of it as well.

    Dangit, Mustangman, I was all good and satisfied, but then you posted this hat and make me want a new one! Beautiful lid and great colors you got there!

    That's 2 1/4"?! Dang, it looked like it was less than 2".

    Wow Banky, that's a nice one. Makes me want to get something in copper ribbon even more. Winter Joe - Nice color combo. Wish I could pull off a stingy brim. Now need pics of you in it!

    Nice, especially that accent in the ribbon that just pops!

    I thought I'd show the pics that lead up to the hat. The idea started with a culmination of two ideas. The first was seeing the dark moss and light sage hats on this thread and wanting to get one at one point. The second is going through ebay and, because of lighting or camera quality, see hats...

    Thanks for the kind words everyone! Now I've been thinking of getting a coat to match the hat! Bond: If you talk to Art, he can probably give you suggestions and some pics of color samples that he has. That's what he did for my new one when I was deciding what color to go with.
