Choices

Ok, I have what I would assume is common problem around here. I have money burning a whole in my pocket and I would like to get a hat(s), but I think I might be overlooking some choices and I wanted to see what you guys think.

I have $400.00 that I can spend. I know that isn't a ton of money, but it is certainly a lot for me to actually have at one time.

Here is a few things I have thought about getting...

A) A work of Art

B) A Magnoli Herbert Johnson. I have always liked those, but not sure I'd get the brown Indy hat. Mostly likely a the grey one

C) I could get 2 lower priced hats. Maybe 2 of the Fed IV? I really like the moontone color

D) Just hold out for things to pop up on Ebay. I really...really.. want a Whippet

I'm sure I'm not thinking of all my choices, but do any of these sound good?

Throw in a little extra and you can have both a Federation and a custom made lid by Art Fawcett. If it was me and I could only do one of them, it would be the custom lid for sure.

I can't believe I didn't think of having Art make a Whippet. Ok, I need to go get my head examined....and measured for Art :D

I thought as far as the auction, I had to wait until I was full member...or something like that.
I looked around in the FAQ, but I couldn't find anything on what you need to do to be a full member.

Yeah, I'm seriously looking into that. I'll get a work of Art and a Whippet in colors that I like.

I also like the idea of handing down a hat that I had some input in making to one of my kids.

Of course then I'll eventually have to get 3 hats made...one for each kid:eusa_doh:

And there is NO doubt that it will fit perfectly as soon as you take it out of that oval box which is another experience all its own!:D I gotta stop or I will be ordering again before I am ready...:eusa_doh: lol

I have to agree with the others here: go with Art! And have Art make you a whippet!

I know someone else on this board has a whippet style from Art. Does anyone remember who that is?

I used the search function (a beautiful thing) and found a few pics of Art's whippets. His work has really sold me!
