I Know What You Did Last Summer

You ordered one of the most spectacular designs from Art.
It suits you well.
It is definitely on my wish list...

This is the most accurate felt color rendition

A Milan Porkpie.....

Now that's news!

 

[Mr E Train]

Now that's news!

Maybe it was just a Milan that was rebuilt by Art?[huh] Regardless, that's a lovely pork pie.

 

[Art Fawcett]

this hat was an experiment Gents, I am not stocking milans yet.

When I was in Tn at Winchester I discovered that they make the braided hats for the troopers in different colors. With Lincsong's project in mind I had them make two bodies while I was there and this is the resulting hat. This particular braid is not Milan but rather "Toyo" ( milan is made of wheat straw) and I am working on another using "bedford" braiding ( smaller weave or braid) that so far I haven't figured out yet.
If anyone is interested, please contact me privately and I can order bodies to your specific size & specs. Along with the investment in new colors I just can't stock all sizes & colors but that's a future project.

Holy cow Art. Just how many balls can you keep in the air at one time? You must have figured out a 32 hour day up in Oregon. A man who loves his work is a beautiful thing.:eusa_clap

lol lol lol I forgot to ask Lincsong to keep it under his hat I'm at about my limit Ignatz, but what the heck, if you stop making progress you get run over, right?

Congrats to Lincsong on this amazing Work of Art, and excellent work to Mr. Fawcett on the first of what will hopefully become a whole new category of masterpieces!

Cheers,

He ran over to me as soon as he got it. You would have had to put anchors on his behind. lol lol lol lol

Step right up, step right up . . .

. . . every hat's a winner! lol

I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing all those pics gents. There are some stunning felt/ribbon colour combinations in this thread!

 

[Lincsong]

Thanks guys.

Now I know it's "toyo" not "milan".

 

[Chinaski]

Wineguy, that is about as close to The Fedora Lounge logo guy as I've seen anyone come! Great style and great Art lid. :eusa_clap

 

[St.Ignatz]

Artlite 2 1/2", underwelt, thin ribbon.

 

[Viper Man]

Awesome, Ignatz! I am in line for an Art and am thinking of making it a thin ribbon, too. Is that Granite? 5 1/2" crown? Also, how is the stability of the brim in the featherweight felt?

 

[Greyfox]

Awesome hat! Congrats.

 

[gtdean48]
