Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[sphughes]

I want to get another VS. I need a brown hat. I was thinking of the Tucker. Anyone have one who is willing to repost the photo? Has anyone any other VS hats in brown to recommend?

Phil,

Art made me a beauty in Whiskey. It is a great color and it really works IMO. I LOVE this hat and any day now I expect to hear from Art his sibling is ready to ship.

Scott - that is still one of the best hats going, IMO. Will the sibling be the same hat in a different color?

 

[Jerekson]

Shoot.

I'll post info on it when it arrives. Art is working his magic so it will be perfect for me.

My First VS

Introducing my new VS stingy brim porkpie. It is styled after the "Uptown" but since I live in the south suburbs of Chicago, I have dubbed it "The Southtown".This is my first hat from Art but it won't be my last. Everything I have read about his work is dead on and I am very impressed with his attention to detail and overall skill as a hatter. Simply put, this is now the best hat in my collection and I am proud to own and wear it! In fact, I am already saving my pennies for another in Pecan!


Featherweight Granite
Open Crown: 5 3/4"
Brim: 2"

Very nice porkpie! I love the artlight felt.
Now, if we could just see you with it on!

Very nice, and great color!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Thanks, guys. The felt is incredible! Here is a quick webcam shot from yesterday but I'd like to "pose" in a bit more formal attire. Hopefully I'll have better shots soon. Cheers!

Thanks, Mr. Fusion. I was at my brother's house on Sunday and we were looking through old family photos when I found a picture of my great grandfather and great grandmother from 1964. I never met them (they were deceased before I was born) and I don't recall ever seeing a photo of them until that point. However, I think I found out where I get my penchant for porkpies from.

 

[MrFusion]

Good looking couple and he has a nice hat on to boot!
My Grandfather influenced me as well on hats. I have one of his fedora's (a stingy brim) that I need to get cleaned and reblocked. (Waiting on Art's workload to subside a bit) Anyway, he's the one that got me back into hats.

Bart, What is that VS? A terrific dark blue fedora is nice to see.

I asked Art to copy Nick Noltes hat from Mulholland Falls in the 'steel' color. He freestyled the ribbon and I love it

Art's in the zone. He's the Michael Jordan of hats!
