Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Samuel]

Congrats Samuel, you will be tickled silly. But you better warn your wife right from the beginning............you won't be able to stop at one.

Hi Handlebar Bart,
Yea I was figurin that one probably wouldn't be enough. We'll see down the road what will be the outcome.

Sent the deposit Yesterday. Now, having read through this entire thread multiple times I'm still trying to decide on colors and what style. It's fun though bit hard on the wallet.

It's true but you only live once my friend and when you go for the big Dirt Nap it is forever.......

I have a friend that only orders water when he eats lunch out and puts the 3 bucks aside for his next hat purchase.... He does a few other things too ... It adds up rather quickly that way......

Very hard to pick colors and styles and then after making a list, you have to figure out which one you want first.......

But that is a nice problem to have......

At least making two payments to Art helps to reduce the pain a little and the pricing is good for the level of quality we get to enjoy.

My frustration at the moment is that there are two VS hats waiting at the Post Office for me and it is closed right now

 

[Art Fawcett]

uh oh DJH...I only sent one this week..I think... I need another vacation!!

 

[DJH]

Nope, you're cool Art - no vacation needed. I couldn't resist buying one from another lounger.
Tomorrow promises to be a VS super bonus day!

 

[delectans]

Congrats, David! Look forward to your usual great photos of the VS duo!

 

[DJH]

Thanks AL. It will be time to dust off the real camera instead of the iPhone.

lol This is both my rationale and my evidence toward the claim that I've spent too much time on the Lounge lol.

Never to much time on the Lounge!!!

Although for some reason I know what you mean!!!!!!!

I was so lucky today, I picked up not one, but two new beauties from Mr. Fawcett.

One is a Silver Belly Sportaire that Art just finished and the other is an unworn Sand coloured hat that I bought from MarkL, here in the Lounge.

First up, here's the Sportaire.

When I first looked through the limited editions on Art's site, it was the Sportaire that got my attention. When I ordered the hat, I knew that this was the model I needed. The colour was a different thing - I had changed my mind so many times that Art had to call to make sure that he'd made what I wanted. The felt is Silver Belly with a nice matching ribbon on the brim binding. The crown ribbon looks black, but is actually very dark green.

Here are a few images:

And here's the MarkL hat. The colour is Sand which doesn't seem to be in Art's current line up of felts. Very nice though, with a dark brown ribbon.

Mark had said the hat was unworn and he wasn't kidding - excellent condition all around.

Thanks Art and Mark!!

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Two nice looking lids, great ribbon color choices.....

I really like the color combo on the Sportaire what a LID!!!!

A dazzling pair, David! :eusa_clap

 

[Cliffnopus]

Very, very nice. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

OG - thank you. While I can take zero credit for the Sand/Dark Brown combo, I'm really happy with the colours on both hats.

Samuel - thank you sir! I saw you have placed an order with Mr. Fawcett. It seems to me his hats just keep getting better - you are in for a treat!

Dan - thanks a lot. I went through several colour choice changes while waiting for the Sportaire, but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

AL - thank you. You have been setting a really high standard with the vintage hats you've been posting, thanks for checking out these modern classics.

Cliff - cheers Cliff! I'm enjoying them already!

The VS Silver Mist has made the trip from Japan-
This is a neat ultra light hat...

Trying out some dry-bashed deeper side dents...
