I just ordered a custom "Manhattan" fedora from Art Fawcett but cannot find the thread that described it and had pics. Anyone out there know where it is?

You ordered it sight, unseen?

The secret seems to be searching by title only. That same search turned up 12 results that way.

Manhattan unseen?

No, Tomasso, I did not order it sight unseen. I saw it when Art originally posted it and made a mental note to order one when I scratched up the change.

I really like Art's imaganitive approach to designing hats while remaining flexible for the buyers to make slight changes to reflect their individual taste. I asked him to lower the crown 1/4 inch and leave everything else the same.

Out my way

You would not believe the looks my custom hats get:eek: :eek: :eek: here in Colorado, Weegee. Most folks wear western hats or baseball caps or no headwear.

I love when I get those looks...

so is this a repro?
my mom just bought me a manhattan brand hat at an antique shop for eight bucks that looks exactly like that, but it's obviously old.

Same here. This can't be right. I keep harping on this, but how do you guys do anything but the most simple searches in this forum? (Searching by title is not actually that useful, if you want to find the contents of a thread.)

The software, vBulletin, *should* permit full Boolean searches.

Yes, it's just not working for many of us. (Some seem to have no problem.) BUT: this google solution is brilliant. Try it!

Manhattan hats

Got an old Manhattan, no sweatband,liner, just a small tag saying
to duplicate 81655- great hat,wonderfully soft, and has the old United Milliners
Caps and Hatters stamp, so I'm guessing 40's? Sharpetoys' off white hat is a
Manhattan? If so, could you tell me if I can get that hat in a charcoal grey?
Thanks M

Yes, you can get it in charcoal grey... The hat is a custom made one by Art Fawcett. Art is a member here.:eusa_clap Give him a call...:D The site has a few of his styles he can make any fedora style you want.
