Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[ibchipster]

The post office online tracking says my hat is in town. But I can't get it until tomorrow afternoon when the mail comes. Today is one of those days I wish the post office delivered on Sunday.

The man could rock a hat.

He looked great in this one.

Classic lines on that hat--and what a fit on that suit, too!

 

[randooch]

Yup. Less taper, more brim.

They look great but I didn't know Art made them. Perhaps they might be better presented in another thread. No disrespect intended, but this is Arts thread about Arts creations. I have no idea what Mr. King is wearing.

Hey everyone I just wanted to show off my first experience with Art. I had an Adventurebilt Henry that was just sitting in my closet not getting any head time and I liked my vintage OR so much I thought "hey, the felt on this thing is so nice why not send it to Art and see if he will make an OR clone for me". Here's what happened:

Original hat:

And then today this arrived:

WOW!! Great work. I can't wait to have a custom made hopefully in the next year. Thanks again Art I love this hat. This thing is going to get some serious noggin time tomorrow for sure. I am going to make every excuse I can to get out of the house.

100% Improvement. Looks great, could pass for a Stratoliner too.

You know my first thought was stratoliner too. That hat instantly became my favorite. Thanks for the kind words!

I came by a VS hat from a Lounger and Art went and Whippetised it for me. Genius that bloke!

 

[Landman]

Rogera,

What a difference! The hat looks fantastic now!

 

[TomS]

I agree with the other posters... it looks great.

Granite Has Arrived

My second VS has arrived in Granite and it was worth the wait. Here are some quick phone pictures.

For sure! Do you have any pics of your Whippetised lid??

ibchipster nice lids!

 

[m0nk]

That is a beautiful hat!!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Ibchipster; Wow sir. You have a great looking VS in granite. Just plain sharp. BTW: You have dropped at least one hundred dollar bill on the ground as shown in image #5. Got to love Ben Franklin!

 

[ibchipster]

Thanks for the catch SBG but alas, that was not truly a "C-note" but merely an advertising flyer that had fallen to the ground on the front porch. I would try to spend it but its size might make that difficult. Although in this hat I would at least look good trying.
