Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[kaosharper1]

lets ignore the part where I cut myself shaving. Here you go gentleman:

Nice hat and look!

 

[Banky]

Thank you gentlemen. You would have to ask art the exact colors name. He just told me this was as close as he could come. Yes the ribbon is copper.

 

[barrowjh]

I'm impressed. Another great looking lid, and worn well.

Got the Blu-Ray DVD of Lawless for Father's Day. Lots of nice lids in that movie. Jessica Chastain is all I can recall though....

... well I recall the hats.....and Jessica Chastain.

Not a bad movie, though, and congrats Banky. Is this your first VS? If so, then you did well, and welcome to the club.

Looks great Banky! Good job Art that's a great reproduction. Now Banky all you have to do is put it on and pull it off by the pinch a couple thousand times and it will be a dead ringer!

had this one for awhile been too lazy to post lol. But I will take more pics later and fill you all in later! Thanks art!!

 

[gambit]

Wow Banky, that's a nice one. Makes me want to get something in copper ribbon even more.

Winter Joe - Nice color combo. Wish I could pull off a stingy brim. Now need pics of you in it!

 

[BR Gordon]

Winter Joe, good looking hat. I've been thinking about a more narrow brim and your hat reinforces the idea.

It's really not that stingy it's 2 1/4 inch brim with a 6 inch crown. And it has an overwelt to look like a cav. Edge

 

[BR Gordon]

When you're used to 2 5/8" or more, 2 1/4" appears narrow. I really like your 2 1/4" brim, so you've given me a good reason for a new hat.

Yea that's what I thought too lol. Im 6` 2" 350 pounds I was kinda scared but when I put it on it fit surprisingly well.

 

[gambit]

That's 2 1/4"?! Dang, it looked like it was less than 2".

 

[Rabbit]

Congratulations on your first VS, Banky.
Do I gather that this felt was custom dyed? I mean, the beaver felt and the regular staple (rabbit) felt dyes are basically the same, only some colors are not available in staple felt. Is this felt different from the regular brown felts like chocolate or pecan?

 

[bowlerman]

Nice, winter joe!

Banky, that's fantastic. Congrats! I always admired Tom Hardy's hat from that film as well, in fact I've dreamed of having an entire "Lawless" collection-- a lot of cool lids with tons of character!

The color (and dimensions, for that matter) of Hardy's hat looks different in just about every photo and under various lighting conditions, don't you think? I had a repro made by Falcon Park Hattery, and went back and forth between a natural color, or more of a Sahara, maybe a "Chocolate Milk" and ended up with a really super variation that I've liked a lot, though the ribbon is a bit wider. Anyway that one looks really super!

I don't believe so, again it would come down to Art. He said he could not get the color in Century (Beaver) felt. As is why this hat was made in Joey (Rabbit). I simply deferred to Art's better judgement. Thanks for the nice comments as well everyone.

Yes, in fact I'm certain there was more than one hat used in the film. Art's work I find accurate for the majority of scenes and I'm more than happy with it.

Banky - When you see your hat next to the movie hat, it makes you appreciate the skill Art has at recreating. Great job.

Winter_Joe - Love it!

I agree with Alex 2 Fantastic Hats !

Just got this today! It's a birthday present from my brother.

It's black cherry with a steel grey ribbon and a triple stitched brim.

It's a really great and unique combination! Thanks Zack and Art for this amazing hat!
