Ivory hats by Art Fawcett - seen in the afternoon light against the first snow of this season.

I thought that one on the left was felt. Wow, that's a nice weave. Can we get a close up of the weave, please.

 

[Greyfox]

Great hat Hollowpond. Congrats.

 

[delectans]

Ordinary Guy: Love your whiskey VS. Goes perfectly with your leather jacket and jeans, yet will be splendid with more formal attire.

hollowpond: Glad you settled on pecan. In that light it almost appears light sage. Beautiful hat.

 

[hollowpond]

Delectans, you hit the nail on the head as to the color of this hat. A better descriptor of this color would be "Chameleon"! Sometimes it appears greenish, sometimes greyish, and other times brown depending on what I happen to be wearing that day and the ambient light. It is awesome! Another great thing about Art is his ribbons. He picked a ribbon that, while contrasting slightly the color of the felt, shares the same properties of the felt itself. When I first pulled this beauty out of the box the ribbon seemed to be a mid brown, but when you get it in light you recognize that there are also deep olive tones in it as well. Just beautiful!

:arated:I've wanted a whiskey for a long time, but Pecan certainly deserves attention. So many choices . . .

Lincsong,

Here it is - the camera wasnt the best and today we had clouds during the day and snow in the afternoon. Sorry for the blurred image - this was the sharpest of 8-10 photos. The weavecount is 1400+ per square inches.

Ideaguy, Thanks for the compliments.

Slightly better, still not great pictures of my VS...

Very nice one.

 

[DRB]

hollowpond: that is a well proportioned hat. Looks good on you. the colored welt really makes the hat. Congratulations.

That whiskey really is gorgeous. I think my next hat needs to be in a shade of brown and I really like both the pecan and whiskey, both are quite nice

Just...incredible...and now you've got one for each day of the week! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

What do you think of the Rust color, by the way? Dark moss would be my first choice, but Rust has that X factor that keeps drawing me to it.

 

[Greyfox]

Lloyd your last addition is gorgeous and your entire collection of VS is super. Congrats.

 

[Lloyd]

Neo, I love the rust. It's probably my favorite Art hat.
Greyfox, thanks

 

[delectans]

Outstanding collection of VS lids, Lloyd!! Love the beautiful and unique triple bow in your latest VS.

 

[EggHead]

Lloyd thank you for the color palette display, it gives a good indication of relative colors.
Dark Moss, hmm, I like it - I wonder if the color is close to Fern Green in Akubra line.
Oh, and Whiskey, Black Cherry would be good - don't forget about Granite!

 

[hollowpond]

I'm already thinkin on my next vs...moss green and copper ribbon, whatta you think?

Granite doesn't do anything for me, sorry

I don't have a fern Akubra but here's a pic of my VS Dark Moss and my Bluegrass Campdraft for comparison.

Hollowpond, moss with a copper ribbon sounds great, can't wait to see it. I think Art still has a few moss featherweights left. The pecan in the group shot has a copper ribbon
