Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

I've often asked Art if he just happened to have a nice Semi Colado hat body kicking around, I've wanted one for when the weather gets warm. The answer has always been "no!" - until this time.

Art told me he had this body and it would work for what I wanted. To be honest I wasn't totally convinced, but then Mr. Fawcett knows this stuff way more than I ever will.

Here's the photo Art sent me of the unfinished body - looked to be all brim and no crown to me...

And here's the incredibly nice Panama that arrived at my door...

The ribbon comes straight from "The Boulevard" model in Art's new Modern Times lineup.
To say I'm happy with the result would be a huge understatement - I call it Panama Perfection!

Thanks, Art!

That's the best panama I've seen on the lounge so far!!!

Hasslehoff, Ed, John, Che - thanks for the comments on the S-C. Of course, the weather has decided to turn cool and damp for a few days now, so it is just sitting around for a while.

Mustangman, that wide brim hat looks great on you. I don't recall seeing a hat in that style from Art before and this one is really impressive.

I just received this beautiful VS lightweight in silverbelly. It's difficult to see, but this hat has the air vents in the sides. We'll see if it makes much difference in really hot weather. It has a 2 1/2" brim and is unlined.
Thanks for this fanatastic hat, Art!
