Nice. Real nice. Not distracting from any of the other hats pictured in this thread, but I think that's one of the best looking ones. It looks like it "fits" you (not just size, but the overall "look").

Outstanding! :eusa_clap

Yes, total custom

PhilS,
Very nice!:eusa_clap
Is it a total custom? Felt color, ribbon color, etc. Hard to tell - is it a center dent?

Looks great on you! :D
Silver belly with green (sage?) band, hint of blue in bow. Tear drop, not center dent.

Thanks for the compliments -- it does look nice, but the COMFORT is the real phenomenon to me.

Ok, I can see the green in the band (hard to tell in pictures). Really nice color combo. :eusa_clap
I have two of Art's hats and you hit the nail on the head about the comfort. I have an XLO head and it's a pain to find hats that fit comfortably out of the box. Art's hats just fit. Plus they look darn good too! ;)

Yep, and it fits pretty good too. :D

Forgive the bad pictures, but I wanted to get these up as quick as I opened the box. Worth every penny, and more. Fits like a glove!!!

Will you look at the smile on that man's face? think he's happy with his
new Fedora? WOW.
Rare that you see a face & a hat that just seem to be made for each other-
I think Art & Phil really worked this one out-congratulations!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

^Yes, indeed. I've been living in my Tropic-Aire (aka, Artlight) lately, and it just floats on my head.

Congratulations, Phil! That's a great hat and, as stated above, it really does fit you well.

Big Man, I just mentioned, in another thread, that no one seemed interested in wearing a fedora with a center crease and no front pinch or side dents. Somehow I had missed your tribute to your grandfather's hat. It is both historical and beautiful. My hat's off to you and Art, both! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Thanks. For a "dress" or "business" hat, I very much like the look of a center crease w/o a front pinch.

One vote here for center dent and no front pinch... I posted more photos in the new hats thread but thought I would add this to Art's Hall of Fame.

I'm not able to stop by much anymore, but lately the VS hats have been especially gorgeous! I guess it's because you fantastic, knowledgeable buyers are able to collaborate your ideas with an even more knowledgeable and receptive hatter!?

Anyway, I still lurk but I could not let it pass without posting Big Congratulations to Big Man, vonwotan, and Art! Those two lids are the nicest hats to come down the pike in a long, long time IMHO! :)

Thank you very much.

I've had my new hat from Art for one week now and and I have to say that I have been absolutely ruined from wearing any other hat (except an old, worn-out work hat). The fit, the feel, and "the look" all combine perfectly. I've received more compliments from this new hat than all previous comments from my other hats combined.
