Gorgeous!:eusa_clap What's the brim width on that one?
Both the hat and the fruit are out of season--but I'm sure the hat will last longer:D

Jaunty, the Art Hat does you proud!! You wear it well. As usual Mr. Art has crafted another masterpiece. Don't have one yet, but I want to join the club soon. You have done well.

God Bless

These two hats came in about a week or so apart and they're both absolutely fantastic hats. What's great about Mr. Fawcett to me is not that he's good, but that he's consistently good. I have never seen a bad hat by this man and I don't believe I ever will.

Black Cherry Fedora with matching Ribbon and Art bow. The Black Cherry is very similar to the Oxblood Optimo furfelt i find. Great coloring, goes with anything. I blame all you folks who've bought Black Cherry hats and posted them here. Black Cherry to me is probably about the best color you could own. If I could only own one hat, it would have to be Black Cherry.

This may just be my favorite hat for some time to come. Natural with Red Ribbon. I have wanted a light colored hat with a red ribbon for a while and this one came out spot on to what I saw in my head.
Lastly, I love these Art bows. They make his hats unique in the market. Brilliant craft work.

both of these hats are stunning, you need to post the ribbon work in the Art Fawcett ribbon blog, he does such excellent work. the colors compliment each other perfect. If you could please post the inside of the hats as well, i'd like to know what your liner looks like out of curiousity sakes.

I second both of Coble's notions:

Both hats look stunning.

And you should definitely post a shot of each of those sharp looking ribbons in the 'Art's Ribbon Gallery' thread.

Wonderful hats, Lando.

If I may ask, could you compare black cherry to oxblood with regards to the amount of red under different lighting conditions? From Art's color swatches, and searching this thread the two appear very close, with black cherry a shade darker than oxblood.

Better Pics Of Granite Satin Finish

At the risk of redundancy, I am posting some additional photos of my granite satin finish VS fedora to hopefully contribute to the wealth of excellent reference photos on this thread.

My hat stylistically incorporates elements of Art's Sportaire and pays homage to the Stetson Whippet.

Crown: 4-1/2" at the very front, rising to 5" at the apex, and tapering to 3-1/2" at the rear.

Ribbon: 1-3/4", 22 ligne, if I am not mistaken. Art selected the ribbon color and burgundy color accent for the bow.

Brim: 2-5/8".

Granite, as has often been noted, is a very versatile color, which, under different ambient light, assumes a palette ranging from gray, to light sage, to taupe.




Under early morning, direct sunlight, indoors. Art's wonderful, short-hair satin finish with its subtle sheen seen to good effect here.



Fairly strong, early morning indirect sunlight.



Indirect morning sunlight.



Partially overcast, indirect sunlight.


Close-up of Art's beautiful ribbon work. Medium indirect sunlight.



The leather sweatband has a richness and texture that is truly a pleasure to behold, and feels great on the head too. Art's selection for the satin lining illustrates his consumate taste, and was exactly what I envisioned.



Noggin shot under medium indirect morning sunlight.



Left profile shot. Medium indirect sun.



Final, bespectacled shot with medium indirect sunlight.


I hope the photos will be of some use to others considering the granite color for one of Art's fine hats.

Thank you, Art, for a wonderful hat!!!

I thought I liked Whiskey color, now I think Granite might be better suited for me. (or both?)

I have gone from pecan to granite, to natural, to whiskey, and now back to pecan! Ultimately how I decided is I removed the felt samples that I liked from the card and kept them in my pocket ALL THE TIME! Every now and then I would take them out and look at them up against my wardrobe and in varying light conditions (sunrise, sunset, shaded, indoors, fluorescent, etc. etc.). Gradually I weened them down until I got a winner and (this time) its pecan!!!
