Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[DJH]

Frank, Jeff, Tommy - great new VS hats, guys. I really like all 3 of these.

I have a new candidate for HoF admission - a nice new ArtLite in Sahara (yes, popular colour for this month!).

This one is my favorite dimensions, 5 3/4 crown and 2 1/2 brim with underwelt. The ribbon is Art's vintage copper coloured ribbon (I love this!).

Thank you for another outstanding hat, Art!

What a great crease on that Art-Lite! And isn´t Sahara a fantastic color? Congrats to you David!

aught12, that is a very ice hat! And that is the first grey hat I've ever said that about ;-)

Thank you Lloyd!

I'm pleased that you and some others are liking it. I had a feeling the suede finish Charcoal felt would work. Art suggested the burgundy ribbon, and he was right.

Fantastic hat! Love the color.

Thank you WMC! "Sahara" seems to strike a cord in all of us.

WOW,,, Thank you Gentlemen. Sahara has really been on a roll lately. Nice crease David. BTW...Memphis is MY kind of city!!!

ART,
Mr. Fawcett do you do ribbon work for vintage hats? I can't seem to see that service on your website.
Thanks in advance for your response.

 

[Art Fawcett]

Yes I do Javier with a caveat. I don't do the trademark multicolor ribbon work. I will replace what is there with the standard bow work.

Looking at all these gorgeous hats has not only inspired me to make a deposit on my first VS hat, but to also make my first post here. I can't wait.

Awesome felt/ribbon combo, David! I love it!

I have to agree with Rabbit. David that felt and ribbon make a great combination.

nolaquen, Welcome to the lounge. You won't regret getting a VS fedora.

Thanks, Frank. The Sahara is indeed a very nice colour.

Sweet indeed, Seabass! I loved this ribbon on your black hat (I think it is a black VS) and I was really pleased that Art still had some he could use on this one for me.

Awesome felt/ribbon combo, David! I love it!

Thanks, Rabbit

Thank you Art. I really appreciate the wonderful hats you've made for me. I put the rolling pin to work to make the crease.

Welcome nolaquen - a nice VS hat is hard to beat, you've made a good choice. You might want to ask Art to make you a bandblock when he makes your hat. For a small additional amount you'll have a tool that can help any other hats you acquire fit as well as your VS will. Mine is one of my best purchases.

I have to agree with Rabbit. David that felt and ribbon make a great combination.

Thanks, BR. I'm very happy indeed with this colour combo.

Welcome to the Lounge, nolaquen ... :yo:

Mr. Fawcett, thank you for taking the time to respond to my inquiry; I am in need of something in particular (flashier than the regular bow) so I'll continue the search. Again, thank you.
Regards,
Javier
