Hi Folks,
I just wanted to post a few pics of the recent hats Art has done for me. The dark grey replicates the hat that Nucky's brother has been wearing this season on "Boardwalk Empire". The natural hat hints at the one Tom Hardy wore "Lawless"....

TomS - I may not know the shows you mention, but Art's work is, as always, amazing. The quality and attention to detail that he puts into every hat is very special.

Tom nice pair of VS hats
I'm a big fan of BE & the Lawless film
Good inspiration for hats

 

[Rogera]

Beautiful hats Tom. I am in the queue for my second VS and I can't wait. My wife's Christmas shopping for me pretty much takes care of itself anymore!

 

[gambit]

Nice hats, TomS! I've also noticed the hats in this season of Boardwalk Empire like Eli's. One I had my eye on is the hat of Dunn Purnsley, the henchman of Chalky White whose secretly helping Doctor Narcisse with the heroin sales. I've also noticed that another random henchman of Chalky's have a similar look to my other VS hat that's on my profile pic.

I got this Black Cherry VS last Winter, but I am posting it for the first time now.

By the way, if the crease looks weird, that is because I creased it myself, and I had no idea what I was doing.

 

[Rogera]

Sweet lid Gangster! The crease looks good to me!

 

[gambit]

That's a beauty. What color ribbon is that?

 

[Genuine Classic Gangster]

That is teal ribbon; although Art had several different teal-colored ribbons at the time. He called the one that I went with "true teal."

 

[seabass]

Nice VS gangster love the straight crown.

ART FAWCETT IS The BOMB!!!

My new Vintage Silhouettes Mighty MILAN made merveilleusement (marvelously!) by the Master, Mr. Fawcett...






I can't wait for spring! This one has a fantastic casual, textural look... Snappy, yet relaxed. Durable, too! it's going to be the go-to lid this summer, methinks!
