Fedora moderne d'?¢ge

[EricH]

I don't usually like to do the show and tell thing, but I've had my "Work of Art" for a while now and thought I would share. When I asked Art to create my hat, I sent him the only ad I had then of a Mossant. Mossant is to France as Borsalino is to Italy, and I was looking for a fedora with a bit of a Modern European flavor. I love Mossants and was a bit hesitant asking a Texas boy to go a bit against his roots, but as many of us are here, I was pleasantly surprised. So here it is the "Moderne", a Fawcett interpertation of the European style. I think he did pretty good. Soon after I received my hat, I picked up this ad. Yep, I think he nailed it.

Did you have Art base it on this ad image too?

I figured you might be one of the first on the trigger Marc. Actually we started with this one.

It's a good 5+ inches. It looks tall till it sits on my big midwestern scandinavian head.
