Kao,

that is a very nice hat!! Blue smoke is my favorite color of Art's works


You are right the felt on my latest feels like suede and when I hit it with steam, it was easier to form and still soft.

Nice pick again KS

Fantastic! I'm usually not a fan of the Hollywood brim, but you've made me reconsider--this looks great on you. Is that the 2 3/8 brim of the Jazzman? It looks wider. Love the blue smoke and that wide ribbon! :eusa_clap

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. This hat does seem made for the Hollywood brim, but then it is based on the C&K hats. The brim is 2 3/8" but I think having it flat out on one side makes it seem wider.

Can't wait for it to cool down a little so I can wear it outside. Maybe Friday. I have to wear a suit that day anyway, and its supposed to be 85 or so.

Awesome! Is that a featherweight or dress weight? I'm guessing it's the former since I didn't think Art did welted edges on dress weight. [huh]

Either way, fantastic hat, kaosharper1!

Thanks. And it is a featherweight. Out here in Southern California the lightweight felts are the ones to go with.

Very nice color combinations. Unless there is lens distortion, you seem to be a very long oval...and how lucky us LO`s are to be able to be fitted by such a fine custom hatter:eusa_clap

Yes. Great color combo. We need a noggin shot!

My head is a round oval and Art's hats are the only ones that really fit me properly. Us (few) RO's are also grateful.

Warmentrout-beautiful hat. Is it lightweight felt? I love those colors. Never thought I'd want a rust, but now I do!

Kao, I'm speechless. Amazing double stitch. Very nice looking. Reminds me of those Bogie hat pics on another thread.

Well, my last Art, the Dusty Pink, was a copy cat hat but I can't afford to copy them all, and I want one of each I see on here!

Magnificent hat...I have to look at my felt samples again...that rust looks great...hard to decided on those thimble size felts until you see it on a finished hat...

It is actually a VS Brooklyn, just as it appears on the website, but I asked for it to be sent open crown. Standard felt I think.

Ah, I passed by it on Art's website several times, but your photos make me realize how great it is. Beautiful hat.
