Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Rat Pack]

You folks waiting for your Black Cherry's are in for a HUGE surprise!!

Mine was in my office when I returned from lunch.

Absolutely gorgeous. The pictures you have seen don't do it justice.

Also put in hats fresh from surviving the elements. Don't baby them VS's!!!!

I am wearing the brim flipped up more and more, what say you guys?

Quite a jaunty look. I think it looks good.

 

[Greyfox]

Looks good on you.

Hollowpond, I like the brim down more, but up or flat is good too. I just wear all mine down. Personal preference.

I have a Midnight blue from Art; It's a great color. In the sunlight it looks dark blue and under electric lights I think it almost takes on a purple-ish look. It's a very rich color, and more versatile than I thought it'd be.

Thank you sir and Joyeux Noel.

I just got my shipping notification. I haven't been this excited at Christmas since I was a kid!!

Is there somewhere I can go to see some examples of straw hats that Art makes? I see a few examples here, but there are none on his website.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I talked to Art this Past Saturday and ordered a Black Cherry for myself. That makes three from Art. I have a Whiskey "Sportaire", a Silver Mist and now the BC. I think I am going to ask Art to make it just like the Sportaire because it is a little taller in the front. Perhaps a 1" or 1.5" wide ribbon in the same color.

marshack, check the panama canal thread, most of the straw hats in the thread seem to be from AF.

Still loving my VS!

Great looking lid J.

That's a very good one. A seriously elegant hat. What is the brim size on it; and is brim size same all around? And what is the crown size, however you measure that?

 

[jbucklin]

Thanks guys.

Brim size is 2 3/8 all the way around. I believe the crown height is 5 1/2. I think that's kind of the "standard" VS crown size, but I could be wrong. It's amazing having a hat that fits perfectly!

This is the first I've seen of it, hope it won't be the last . Great lid you have there!

I posted a couple of pics when I first got it, but that's been awhile now. I think I've never been real happy with my crease, since I forgot to ask Art to do it for me. It's certainly undergone a few changes. BTW, the felt is the most amazing I've seen/experienced. It would be hard to imagine it getting any better than this!

Get ready to receive your favorite hat! I can't say enough about the black cherry. Art made mine with a 1 inch ribbon and I love it. But that color in person is so rich-photos don't do it justice. Great great choice. Maybe whiskey someday for me.

I can't get a pic that truly shows the color. It is MUCH cooler than the picture.

A true piece of "Art".

Wow, the black cherry turned out great!!!! I'd sure love to see closeups of all three.

Wow! All three of those are beauties, but the Black Cherry really stands out. Fantastic! :eusa_clap
