New hat from Vintage Silhouettes

[matei]

One last bit about the new hat... I finally got a chance to compare it to my vintage hats, and it is actually softer and a "finer" felt than some of them!

I have a Borsalino that is thinner (almost too thin - I'm afraid to wear it too often), as well as a Royal Stetson Deluxe from the '50s that is also thinner - but way stiffer.

The VS Hat is a nicer felt than my late '40s Open Road and late 30s/early 40s Royal Deluxe. Plus - it fits better than any of them!

Very Special

Another, triumph by Art, great color and style.

I like the Boardwalk picture, that looks like it is over by Santa Monica area.

It is indeed. It was our last stop before heading back to LAX.

Great Hat!

That is a super creation. Do you mind sharing the dimensions on this hat. You are making me want to order one. It looks great and i like you comment about its lightness. I am in San Diego and prefer a lighter weight hat. Thanks!

It is 7 3/8", with a 5.5" crown and a 2 3/4 inch brim.

I measured a vintage Borsalino and sent the numbers to Art. Art recommended a 2 3/4" brim rather than 3", and I'm glad he did.

Thank you so much for the post Matei!!! I was pretty sure it was a winner when it left here but you just never know how my, umm ,creative ribbons are going to be received. I am really pleased you like it and also Thank you gents for the kind words. MK..it's in the mail.

What's it called?

So does this hat have a name just in case other people want to order the same one?

Beautifully done! What a lovely hat. Another great work of Art.

 

[Art Fawcett]

Thank you Kevin, and Russ, this was a one of a kind for Matei so it's isn't named. What I HAVE started doing as suggested by a friend, is registering every hat I make and photographing them. At some point in the near future I plan to have a "Gallery" of hats done for clients using only the reg. numbers to insure the clients anonimity but let others get ideas based on what has been done. In Matei's case I could only make a few because it was a small roll of ribbon ( vintage) so a limited edition wouldn't work.

Great looking hat! I really like the added touch on the ribbon......adds just the right amount of pizazz IMO. :eusa_clap

Another custom gem by Art

Matei, you have a fantastic looking hat. Marvelous color and ribbon combination. Art has produced another gem. Congratulations to both of you.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap Hopefully, in the near future I will have a custom fedora by Art.

Fantastic

Art wasn't kidding when he said that Steel was a beautiful color. What a hat... not that I'm surprised.

BTW, Art, your website isn't working, in case you didn't know.
