Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[rgpelletier]

Tell us a little more about it. What is the felt color, ribbon colors, brim width, and crown height?

Hi Bill. Art calls the felt color Sahara. The ribbon is a slight shade lighter. The brim is 2 3/4 and the crown height is a little over 4 3/4.

Thanks for posting Rob,

Well, after the Worth and Worth black hat fiasco, I did what I should have done the first time: ordered one from Art. Today, I got the perfect belated birthday present in the mail, a custom VS Dualist! It's a little bit like the black Stetson I also just got back from Art, but also inspired by an old Stetson that Justin posted some time back. The vintage Milan eBay hat ended up being just too small (and slightly faded) so Art ended up using his own straw. The sun is out today, though it's not quite straw season in the bay, but I'm definitely ready! Thanks Art, it's fantastic!








Edit: different pics, because hats always look better on a block.

I bet a hat like the VS Dualist in lighter colors would work well on a tropical, rainy, garden island!

This Powder Blue Dualist arrived this week. It is patterned after Mike's (@Redfokker) Duplex. With permission of course. The ribbon treatment is a bit darker and I have the gills "dog-eared."

Striking hat, Bill. Very nice VS.

That is a pretty sweet lid. How much does he charge for that style?

Ohhh yeah! Great hat, Bill. I contacted NW last year after seeing Mike’s hat; now I’m wishing I would have pulled the trigger.

I don’t want to speak out of term but I believe the cost of a standard Dualist is $350. That was the cost of mine.

BTW this light sage Dualist is on the way. I should get it in a few days.

That light sage has me drooling all over my screen. From all the oohs and ahhhs I can only imagine what my wife must think I’m looking at.

Makes me wonder if it would be a relief for her to find out it's actually a hat

+1 Ha!

The Light Sage Dualist arrived today. Love the dark moss double bow with highlight. I've never seen the VS label used in the crown like this. It has Art's signature. All the others I've seen just have Art's signature.

I'm sorry Bill , I should have warned you. I simply ran out of tip stickers with my signature and a new order is WAY more than I can use this summer so I decided to simply sign in ink my VS stickers. This way you can be assured that i made the hat, giving it provenance. Hope this works for you.

I figured that was the case. Works for me Art.

Can't get any better than a autographed copy! Feel free to sign mine, Art, that would be the icing on the cake!!!

Bill, that is a stunning hat. The sage color blends with the white straw. A union of two colors making one great hat. Can't wait to see you wear it. Beautiful, seriously. Get's my Hat Of The Week award
