Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[DJH]

Very nice indeed, Alex!

I was excited to see that Art was starting to make his own milan hat bodies and really pleased that he has some material to be able to produce black milans.

Art fixed my Optimo Panama last year by turning it into a Dualist, so I asked him if he could put together a black milan-Dualist for the warmer weather (which I'm hoping will arrive one day).

I've had the hat for a while now and really looking forward to being able to wear it - the hat is exactly what I'd had in mind. Here are a couple of quick images...

Roll on Spring!

Let me know how this works out in the hot days for you David....

Nice hat, love the ribbon, I was lucky enough to get the first of Art's ribbons with the crease ... I saw it in one of Nick Nolte's movies........... beautiful on that hat.......

 

[DJH]

Thanks Harry - if I remember correctly, you have that ribbon on a Black Cherry hat.

I don't know that I'd be wearing the new Dualist on the hottest days, I'm thinking mornings and evenings where it might be just a little too warm for felt hats.

Interesting concept David, black on black. The pleated ribbon sets it off nicely.

David, that is one of the best looking Dualists I've seen.

Your memory serves you well.......

Good thinking on the mornings and evenings... looks very sharp.

Congratulations on your most recent VS, David.

I'd like to introduce my recent VS purchase. Limestone beaver. I love the elegant simplicity of the interior & of course it is exactly what I was looking for. She's beautiful!
Many thanks to the forum for me finding Art.

Rabbit, that dark cherry really is an extremely versatile colour. Looks fantastic and I really like the bound edge.

Thank you for the kind comments, Gents. I agree, Ted; the dark Black Cherry is very versatile indeed.
