Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[MrFusion]

PhilS,
Very nice!:eusa_clap
Is it a total custom? Felt color, ribbon color, etc. Hard to tell - is it a center dent?

Looks great on you!

Nice. Real nice. Not distracting from any of the other hats pictured in this thread, but I think that's one of the best looking ones. It looks like it "fits" you (not just size, but the overall "look").

Outstanding! :eusa_clap

 

[PhilS]

Yes, total custom

Silver belly with green (sage?) band, hint of blue in bow. Tear drop, not center dent.

Thanks for the compliments -- it does look nice, but the COMFORT is the real phenomenon to me.

Looks great, Phil!


Cheers,

Ok, I can see the green in the band (hard to tell in pictures). Really nice color combo. :eusa_clap
I have two of Art's hats and you hit the nail on the head about the comfort. I have an XLO head and it's a pain to find hats that fit comfortably out of the box. Art's hats just fit. Plus they look darn good too!

 

[jamespowers]

Yep, and it fits pretty good too.

 

[Boxerken]

Forgive the bad pictures, but I wanted to get these up as quick as I opened the box. Worth every penny, and more. Fits like a glove!!!

Beautiful Hat Phil It looks very nice. How long did it take you to get it?

Will you look at the smile on that man's face? think he's happy with his
new Fedora? WOW.
Rare that you see a face & a hat that just seem to be made for each other-
I think Art & Phil really worked this one out-congratulations!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It does look great but I would bet that all Art's customers are that happy!

 

[AlanC]

^Yes, indeed. I've been living in my Tropic-Aire (aka, Artlight) lately, and it just floats on my head.

Congratulations, Phil! That's a great hat and, as stated above, it really does fit you well.

Big Man, I just mentioned, in another thread, that no one seemed interested in wearing a fedora with a center crease and no front pinch or side dents. Somehow I had missed your tribute to your grandfather's hat. It is both historical and beautiful. My hat's off to you and Art, both! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[scotrace]

PhilS, excellent hat. You've really made the right choice in that it suits you perfectly!

Thanks. For a "dress" or "business" hat, I very much like the look of a center crease w/o a front pinch.

 

[vonwotan]

One vote here for center dent and no front pinch... I posted more photos in the new hats thread but thought I would add this to Art's Hall of Fame.

I'm not able to stop by much anymore, but lately the VS hats have been especially gorgeous! I guess it's because you fantastic, knowledgeable buyers are able to collaborate your ideas with an even more knowledgeable and receptive hatter!?

Anyway, I still lurk but I could not let it pass without posting Big Congratulations to Big Man, vonwotan, and Art! Those two lids are the nicest hats to come down the pike in a long, long time IMHO!

Thank you very much.

I've had my new hat from Art for one week now and and I have to say that I have been absolutely ruined from wearing any other hat (except an old, worn-out work hat). The fit, the feel, and "the look" all combine perfectly. I've received more compliments from this new hat than all previous comments from my other hats combined.
