Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Jabos]

GClark, thanks for going to the trouble of posting another pic!!! That is a beautiful hat. I didn't catch if it is lightweight or regular weight. It looks great!!!

 

[Jauntyone]

I really like the proportions of that hat! :eusa_clap

 

[duggap]

Gclark, you either inverted the pic (which is my guess) or you have the hat on backwards (which I doubt).lol

He said he took the shot in a mirror.

Hey guys - a couple more somewhat better shots where you can see the ribbon taken today at Harper's Ferry

And yes - the fuzzy shot was taken in the mirror

Very nice GC. I have a vintage Strat, but I bet Art's is actually better.

Hey Art, the masses are chanting:

We Want Oxblood! We Want Oxblood! We Want Oxblood!

I think Art`s CABERNET with Burgundy ribbon would make a nice challenge to the Optimo... have`nt seen one of those...or is that one on WEEGEE jumping in the photo on the first page of this thread, and on Art`s hat shelf at the bottom of the same page?

The red Weegee hat is Art's "Frankie"- Cabernet with a dark brown ribbon.

I'd like to see the cabernet in another block.

 

[univibe88]

I think Art's cabernet is much more red than Optimo's oxblood.

Art Fawcett Capone Replica

I asked Art to replicate two Borsalino fedoras owned by Al Capone and the first arrived yesterday. The ribbon was taken from an early 20's fedora so it has a great period accurate feel.

I'm perplexed. [huh]

The side dents are fantastic and that vintage bow is great, but I have the overwhelming urge to call you a gangster. :eusa_clap

 

[Not-Bogart13]

Now, that's pretty different for Art. Nicely done.

 

[Delthayre]

Not just because I'm afraid to say bad things

Say now! That's a fantastic hat; I love it's proportions. Pray tell, how high is the crown and how wide is the brim?

Crown - 6" open

Brim - 2 1/2"

Ribbon - 2 1/4"

The actual historical photo indicated a ribbon width of 2" but this vintage ribbon @ 2 1/4" was too nice to pass up.

 

[billysmom]

Congrrats! Is that a raw edge on the back of the bow?
