This Cuenca toquilla straw came in the mail this afternoon. Thank you, Art! I bought this as a grade 12 body. Weave is around 400 WPSI, and the crease, ribbon, bow treatment is pure Vintage Silhouettes! Art made this from a hat body we picked up in Cuenca, Ecuador, on our last trip down to visit family. Just what I envisioned!

The weather with clouds and bright sun spots made it hard to get balanced pics with my camera phone, but I think y'all get the idea. A great Ecuadorian straw. Woot! Woot!

Thanks again, Art!

That’s very nice, Fed. Art is a master at blocking and finishing straw hats.

Thanks, guys! I just put about 6 seconds of steam to the front brim to bring it down. Easiest crease I've ever done! I ove Art's ribbon work, too!

Just because it's been talked about on another thread here are my hat band blocks (to keep the hat it's proper size and shape)

and my hats just for fun

Thanks for this. I was asking on the other thread and appreciate what Moon and now you have showed me.

You can probably guess the one with the wide oval hand hole is the newest one. Easier or use and lighter to ship.

My latest Art Fawcett. I got this from a fellow lounger. It’s a featherweight in Sahara with a copper ribbon.

Great images of this beauty. Great crease.

This granite lightweight from Art just arrived in the mail today. Crown is a little shorter than I typically like, but I think the overall vibe works well. I welcome the community's thoughts...

Great hat! I love the colors and it looks good on you. Proportions look good to me.
