My first VS lid and I love it. I let Art do whatever he wanted on this. I wanted 100% Beaver and this color and then sent a picture of myself and said make something that will look good.
See my updated Avatar!!!!
Looks great, and looks great ON you, Kevin. Fantastic color as well. Art did a nice job for you, buddy.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Thanks Kevin, when someone tell s me " you decide" it is always a crap shoot as to whether the client will like my taste. Unusual combinations work for me but not for everyone so I can now breathe a sigh of relief.
BTW, the ribbon is dark teal from the 1940s

I do like the combinations. Had I dictated everything I definitely would not have come up with dark teal ribbon, I love the ribbon by the way. Awesome that it is from 1940s. Love the lid, thanks again Art.

VS Straws.

From top:

Semi-Colado Panama - maybe the best warm weather hat ever.

Dualist - the crown and ribbon was donated from my worst ever hat purchase; a Montecristi Panama from Optimo in Chicago.

Dualist - Art's Milan for the crown

Western style Milan

the VS bug has officially bitten me

I have been in talks with Art about a variation on his "crossover" that I have seen @johnnycanuck wearing ... gorgeous hat

two things I definitely want are a mid ribbon and the Art-lite felt

I am taking my time skimming the nearly 500 pages of this thread ... but thought in the mean time I would ask anyone who has either a Art-lite or a mid ribbon made by Art ... or both ... to post a pic to tickle my taste buds

very much enjoying my search through this thread ... but being that it has been around so long a good number of the pictures are now nothing more than dead codes ...

throw up some pics for your boy

looking forward to starting the VS process soon
