New guy with a new hat.

[Mateo]

Hello All!

I have been lurking here for a long while and decided to finally post now that I got my new nice hat. It is made by Art Fawcett, you might have heard about him, hehe.
Here goes:

It is in Mojave color with a brown ribbon with just a hint of red and ofcourse with Art's signature bow treatment.

Here is a one of just the hat:

The fit is really good, just a tad bit tight, which will be solved with a haircut, hehe.
I had trouble finding a hat that fit my head due to it being a long oval shape, so I ordered one from Mr. Fawcett due to all the praise he has gotten here.
Now I just need to get some clothes that can do the hat justice.

Anyways, I hope you guys like it, I do atleast.

Best, M.

VERY NICE LID sir. I am glad you posted, I have been away for a while but it is good to be back. The hat looks great, I like the color and the textture, modest adn classy at the same time, Great pick!

Thanks a lot for your kind comments!

This is such a great place. Dangerous though since I don't think this is my last VS creation, I mean I need one of every color to be able to match to clothes, right?
My wallet will never forgive me.
Ofcourse now when it is soon summer I probably need a Panama too (excellent color combo in yours btw, Spiridon, this place gives lots of inspiration).

Best, M.

That is a sweet looking lid Mateo. Very nice color combination. :eusa_clap Congratulations. Would you mind sharing the specifics on the hat. Brim size, crown height, ribbon size etc.? Thanks

You really know how to make a guy feel welcome.

I have to say a thanks to Art, he really knows his stuff (guess I really don't need to tell you guys, hehe). If you do get a hat from him don't be afraid to follow his advice.
I was originally intending to get a stingy, low crown hat, but he suggested wider brim and higher crown and I am really glad I took that advice.

Best, M.

Hello!

The specs are 2 5/8" brim and 5 1/2" crown (open), the ribbon is a bit over 1 1/2".
