Art Fawcett Jazzman...?

[mike]

Can anyone share any pictures of this hat if you've purchased it? I'm considering ordering one but would like to see some more pictures of different angles/in action! thanks so much in advance!

Hungary Tom's is on pages 27 and 28 of the Art thread.
Here are a few others. Blackhorse worked from the design, whereas Root's Stetson, though somewhat different- satin finish, gray color, black ribbon, looks like it may have been the inspiration for the design.

I just opened the box and gently placed Art's perfectly fitted art on my head without touching a thing. Words escape me at the moment so I will let these photographs tell the story.

OK - here's the deal. For my newest hat I really wanted to have just one more Work of Art...and again went through the website and the various galleries, etc. So, as it happens, I fell deeply madly & truly for the Jazzman. I know I'm not the only one of us with that affliction. Others have made their confessions. We know who you are...etc.

Well, I saved up and kept on looking at the photos and talked to Art and we made just a few little tweaks here and there. I kept the 6" crown (and it even came out with a respectable reverse taper (joy) but adjusted the brim to 2 1/2" and have it dropped both front and back, let him do that combo bash thing he does up on top and let him talk me into what he called a "peanut brittle" colored ribbon (but I added his now signature insert, I think that the color is Ivory).

I'm thinkin' it turned out pretty spot on. As I know you all will start whining and sniveling about photos and all, I'll just post 'em now. I don't have a good one of me wearing it...but my little girl (who was going to a dance) wanted me to wear it while I dropped it off! Sweet!

Why I oughta....

I'll let that one slide, but let’s remember that the focus is on the hat!

Art, that's a nice looking hat! Very well done and the name isn't too bad but, might I make a suggestion, I've loved these tall crowns from the time I saw them in the original film "42nd Street" so, I think you should call it "The 42nd St"! That fits its style better seeing that Jazz men wore wider brims with big feathers.

I've seen that bow treatment in original ads, I my self like more of a regular bow much like the one on my original tall narrow brim Stetson.
