Indycop, you need to drive down to Ybor City in Tampa and get yourself a box of the hand rolled cigars they make there. They are worth the price, if they are still there. It has been 20 years since I stopped smoking so I haven't been there lately. That and an Arturo Fawcett and you are in business.:rolleyes:

duggap, funny you should mention Ybor City. My x in laws were from Tampa/St. Pete and Ybor city hand rolled cigars were the highlight of visiting the outlaws :rolleyes: I miss the smokes

thank you Rob,
Knowing you for as long as I have, I take that as a genuine compliment.

For those too new to the Lounge to know, Rob was/is one of the Gents that convinced me to join the Lounge many years ago when it was beginning. He had been a client for years, trading partner, and source of many conversations regarding vintage clothing. We spent much time at the clothing shows educating each other with info that we had found and in fact, the Logo that I use on my hatboxes was designed for me by Robert. Although I don't use it on my liners anymore, it has become one of the identifiers associated with my name. I will always be greatful for your contribution Rob ( nope, although I offered, he wouldn't accept payment) and wherever my business leads, you will always be part of whatever success I achieve.

I'm happy to have a part in your success and thank you for such kind and gracious words Art.

=Rob.

Indycop, it has been 20 years since I have been there and back then I didn't wear hats, so I don't know of any shops there.

Bud, hope the memories that got jogged were good ones.:)

Four From Fawcett

Here are four hats from Art Fawcett:

The "Forrestor" - Art crafted this hat based on an old Templeform by Stylepark that I have. I love this hat!

The "Taos" - one of Art's limited editions.

THe "Rt. 66" - another of Art's limited editions.

A sage variant of the Rt. 66

These are wonderful hats. Even this model can't make a great hat look bad. A real tribute to Art's craftsmanship.

I'll take some more pictures and post them later this week.
The grey one has the only Rt. 66 pin that Art had which is pretty cool. :)

I keep telling Deelovely that a Route 66 would be perfect on the Route 66 at the front end (sorry I was Army not Navy) of the Disney ship!!:D :rolleyes:
I also think that would be an awesome meet for loungers, on an actual cruise ,and that ship is styled like the classic cruise ships!
