Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Lloyd]

So Art, what's the new base price for a hat?

 

[Art Fawcett]

$385 Lloyd.

Gent's , I am working on a Dove for D'guy that will most likely also be a Limited Edition and has had consented to introducing it for me. I think you will still enjoy it when he gets it.

I can't wait to see that one!

 

[Mulceber]

$385 Lloyd.

Gotta say that as much as I wish there wasn't a price increase, I can totally understand why you'd do it. The fact that you've been able to keep your prices this low for this long is nothing short of amazing. $385 is certainly very reasonable for the work you do. -M

I agree with Mulceber; the price is still very fair for all of the time you put into them. I'm sure most every other maker would have given me a blank stare if I described to them what I have to you. I really like the 'Dove', by the way. Art, how would you say it compares to Blue Smoke as a color? More violet undertones, I'd guess?

 

[Rat Pack]

Is there a new URL? I still se the same site.

 

[Art Fawcett]

to my eye Flute, is doesn't compare at all as it doesn't have that strong blue influence. The overtone also is just that, a hint that the untrained eye could easily miss.
I'm betting that as I add different ribbons it will pick up the ribbon tones of each and the color will look different.

try hitting the refresh button while on the site RP, I had to do the same thing when I first viewed it.

$385 Lloyd.

Still a bargain!

How does the silk/velour finish work? Do you have the felt hoods made separately, or is it a method of pouncing that can coax a longer nap out of the felt? I've always wondered how that works, because I've assumed the fur is blended differently in the felt production.

 

[Art Fawcett]

I do them in house Flute. It's just methods of raising the fur & then finishing it differently.

You have to wait for the season of the velour beaver in Canada. They only mate every other year.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, as always, Sir.




Cheers!

Got my first Art speciality in the New Year. Man did it get some comment here Down Under.

I hear they make great pets.

Art, I just went to your updated website. Very nice new colors!

They must be grumpy little dudes.

Now, for the Dove..all I can say is WOW!!!! I was shooting for a grey with some undertones and my felter hit it dead on!!! While in Tn last year Jimmy the Lid brought a grey with violet overtones to it (yes, violet) and it was spectacular. Right after getting home I had a friend & client send a few hats for c&B and sweet...one was the exact same color as what JtL had so I was able to send it off & have it duped...

Color me intrigued, Art! Very cool. Glad to see the changes happening to the website, complete with new lids. Very exciting, indeed! And, even at $385, your hats are a relative bargain in light of the quality and creativity that are reflected in your work. Can't wait to see what's next!

Cheers,
JtL

They have to grow the skin back after someone takes it for a velour hat, so that takes a while, ahd does put them into a bad mood. Can't say I blame them.

 

[Art Fawcett]

Now that I see this Mallory again Jimmy I realize my memory was off. I see a LOT more lavender in your hat than is in Dove. Dove is more violet so my mind's eye had to be a bit off. Actually, I'm glad.))

Still, you get credit for planting the seed. What grew was Dove
