Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Rabbit]

Very nice, Greg. I like the overall dimensions, it's perfect.

The photos show the creases and the felt surface, for that matter, very well on my monitor. In fact, you don't see photos as good as these every day. It's never easy to get the lighting right, and outdoor shots in natural light, although the most beautiful of all settings in my opinion, can be quite tricky. I've found brightly overcast lighting, just like in these photos of yours, to have the best potential for good photos.

Cheers Nik

It certainly is overcast today, so at least something good has come of it!

Beautiful hat Tedquinton! I love the color!

Beautiful hat Tedquinton! I love the color!

Thank you. I think it's perfect for those spring days when it's still too cold or there is some rain in the air, making it unsuitable for a straw or panama.

Beautifully styled with a gorgeous bow. Congratulations to you and Art.

The ribbon is actually a really really dark blue, midnight blue, but it does look black in my photos.

On my monitor at least the 3rd image comes closest to its actual colour.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Hopefully we'll have some decent weather and I'll have the chance to wear it. I see it as being my spring/autumn hat. With a panama for summer and my darker and thicker felts for winter. That's the plan anyway!

It`s been a while...one of my summer hats needed some work on, and I decided to call upon the services of the master hatter. What a pleasure - a new sweatband and ribbon later, it feels like the old days...everything done to perfection, and with the service of an utter professional...Thanks Art!

Hi, everyone,
I've been lurking around the FL for some time and generally feeling guilty about not posting any pictures of my own. Well, today I received my conformer from Art and swear that once my VS straw arrives I'm going to get my kid to show me how to post photos. Thanks in advance to all of you guys for everything I've learned about hats here.

Hey, Art, how do you attach ribbons to Panamas? Do you tack them down with needle and thread? Glue, tension, good luck, what?
