Art, I think the only time you need to worry about that is when I order a second hat in the same color...:) Until then, its business as usual please, Sir! :eek:

Just posted these on `new hats` forum, and realized that it would do justice to the Mojave color for anyone considering it to re-post them here. So, if you don`t mind another shot of the hat for the record...here goes

I've had this hat from Art for over a year now and it instantly became the hat I usually wear. Rain, snow, being crushed... it is holding up great! Just thought I post a couple of pictures from Halloween at the zoo today.

Thanks for the great hat, Art!

Wanted to post the original Capone Borsalino and the one that Art replicated for me for comparison:

I'm considering going all the way back to Tokyo just to see that in person! The mix of tones and textures is just perfect.

Or for alot less than the cost of airfare you could just bite his style and have one of your own.:D But you are absolutely right.....perfection.

I know I`ve had a lot of space on this thread recently, and don`t want to clog up the thread, but if you will allow me to display my last felt for 2009...the powder blue (only second I`ve seen on this thread) open crown with silver-purple ribbon, and three color bow.

Close up of the ribbon, and incredible detail in the overwelt - an almost `blind` finish...

That's outstanding! I like your crease, too, posted in the other thread.

With hats like this feel free to clog away!

Wow, can you take any close-up photos of the brim work?

The current ones are slightly out-of-focus at the brim edge, and if I didn't know better I'd have thought it was a Cavanagh edged hat from looking at them :eek:.
