A birthday surprise from my wife

Johnny

VERY Nice, Johnny! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Can we get some details like brim width, felt color, ribbon color & width?
I'm spec'ing out a custom & like to see examples like these.
Love the bow treatment & the felt color!

Crossover

"Crossover" style with 3" brim, diamond crown, 3/4" ribbon, and a western style flange. Blue Smoke colour and the band looks black.

Got 'the ribbon call' from Art today.

I hope all you rascals have a very guilty conscious. After reading all the recent comments I am going ahead with an order to VS customs. Boy I hope I can still get those food stamps.....

Thanks Johnny. Think I'm going with that Blue Smoke color as well but binding the brim & a "thinner' ribbon, like Art's HST. Your lady did very well. Like I always say about mine, her only questionable taste has to be in men!!!

You will not be disappointed, Duggap. You will be tne best looking guy at the homeless shelter.......and that is what is really important.

The art of Art

Another one from Art arrived yesterday:

Next to an Akubra Campdraft in Glenn Grey (Akubra on the right); Art's Steel Grey has more of a blue-ish cast and is a bit lighter:

What a great hat; it fits so perfectly that it feels like I'm wearing a Kleenex on my head! The brim is 2 1/2"; color is Steel.
Thank you, Art!

Jauntyone, ton chapeau est tres magnifique. Je salue quelqu'un chapeau bas!

Is that #4, duggap?

 

[duggap]

Alan, that will be number seven, plus two panamas he blocked. I think I might ask him for his SS# so I can claim him as a dependent on my tax return.

 

[MarkL]

You won't be sorry

duggap,

I applaud you for taking the leap and getting a hat from Art. He does amazing work,and you definitely will be thrilled!

If the food stamps run out, I am sure lots of FL members will be able to send you care packages of canned goods!!! <smile>

The only bad thing about getting a hat from Art is that you won't be able to stop with just one!

You are already addicted!

Duggap, I just read further, and it seems like you already have a nice Art collection!!!

VS #3

My new VS arrived on Friday. It is the Wall Street block in charcoal dress weight with a 5 3/4" crown and 2 1/2" brim. I asked Art to use the 20 ligne "graphite" ribbon that he had recently put on Stylin' LA's hat and at the last minute I asked Art if he could do something pleated on the bow. Since this was my third VS, I wanted something special. This hat is gorgeous and I was pleasantly surprised with Art's work on the ribbon. Thanks, Art! I love it and can't wait for #4!

 

[Alucard73]

That is a very nice hat VM!

 

[Viper Man]

Thanks, Alucard! I'm loving it.

Conformer sent back to Art, color & specs communicated. Stay tuned...

The silver mist whatsit

You people are just a terribly bad influence on an old hat addict like myself. Every time someone posts their new VS custom, my mouth starts to water. So I pulled the trigger and ordered another hat from Art (this will make number 7). I am getting the silver mist and haven't decided on the ribbon color, although I am considering burgundy. Anyone have an opinion they would care to share as to the ribbon color for the hat.

Duggap--I love my navy blue ribbon. I think it would really bring out the "blues" in the silvermist. Just my opinion, though.
