Got the call from Art a few minutes ago! The last Art-Lite Blue Smoke, 2 5/8" overwelted brim, dark grey pointed arrow treatment, but the points will be off center, shifted down a bit. I also gave him a 1937 or there abouts Auto Union pin, that's going to be included in the hat. It's amazing how enlightened one can become from only one 5 minute talk with the Master. Thanks, Art, for putting up with my confused, jumbled mess of thoughts!

Cheers,

Congrats, Flute. :eek:fftopic: Don't forget to post pictures of that new green thing of yours.

Sometime this weekend... ;)

What are the specs on yours? I know you were fitted for the conformer a few weeks back...

Silk finish

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if Art can do an Ivory in a silk finish?

I got this charcoal porkpie in silk finish a couple of weeks ago:

With this ARTistic bow treatment:

The felt is very soft and pliable, and the finish is great, also for getting attention from women ;). But then again you may not want every girl in town to fondle your hat :)

Very nice, especially the back bow finish.

After lurking around here for a bit, I decided to dive in head first. My conformer is in customs since Friday and should be at the house today (unless they think it is some kind of a weapon . . .). Living in Mexico City leads me towards getting at ArtLite because of climate. We'll see once I get a look at the samples and then have a chance to bounce ideas off of the Master. Great thread. Great hats. I am excited . . .
