Thanks for the detail shots David. Looks great.
A while ago our fellow Lounger hatband posted a shot of a hat he had found on the forum. Turned out it was a 1930's Stetson Feather Weight that Alan owned from this post.
We both thought it would be a great style to have as a custom and hatband's was delivered a couple of weeks back. My version arrived yesterday.
This is the lightweight felt in Silverbelly and I asked Art if he could put vents at the top of the crown, as we some on some vintage hats. Rather than use his usual logo in the crown, Art stamped the logo onto the felt - he also shipped the hat with his usual red liner to use in cooler weather.
I'm very happy with the hat - the felt is the lightest of the ArtLite hats I have, I hardly notice I'm wearing it.
Thanks for creating this for me, Art!
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!
Ted. these are the same color but in two different felt contents, taking on slightly different hues. The darkest of the two is pure beaver featherweight felt or Century, the second is the Joey line. Also, the ribbon on the Joey hat is a grey that brings out a lighter quality.
That is a very sweet lid David. Great job Art on the edge treatment.
David that hat is sweet in every aspect! It looks very light, almost paper thin in the profile shot of the brim. Congratulations!
Thanks, kao!Beauty!

Wow, great hat DJH kind of looks familiar, it looks good in the Silverbelly. Have fun wearing it. Havn't seen that VS stamp before, looks cool.
May have started a trend
Gorgeous new lid, David. Art sure did a heck of a nice job on this reproduction.
So what's the specs on those lids?
David thanks for the great pics of your Awesomely inspired Hat
Very nice, Nik! Most of the Doves here look positively stunning, but much, much lighter than the swatch I have, which appears very grey to my eye in person.
As a belated Christmas present, sort of, to the Art Fawcett Hall of Fame dwellers, here are collages of VS hats owned by other Loungers posted here before, and now sorted by felt color. As this thread is getting longer and longer, searches for images of specific felt colors are becoming more difficult which gave me the idea of selecting some of those images for a better overview. I hope you enjoy the collages.
I recommend to download the full resolution images for more color accuracy, and to use an image viewing program.

Agreed-- those are fantastic collages, and very well put together. I wish I knew how to do that.
It's unbelievable how a ribbon can completely change my perception of felt color. Art is a master at this.
