Yeah, to echo so many other posters in this thread: That's a beautiful hat!
SMCK said:that is quite the nicest hat I have seen in a very long time. looks as it was made for you (which it was). I love the colours , exactly matching the colours of our autumn here in early november.I would be grateful if you could give us some measurements. brim and height etc.it looks about the same as a fed?. Congratulations, if I still covet it in several weeks I may have to try and get a duplicate if that is allowed !

I swear it looks so good it could inspire songwriting!
"I Talk to the Trees" comes to mind.
Best wishes for you and that fantastic hat!

Exactly my thought when I 1st opened the box. Thus, the Forrestor.
"I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
...
When I'm alone
I talk to the trees."
Is that the one, John?
indycop said:Carter, I keep coming back to this and have concluded you remind of this famous fellow. Hopefully not somebody you despise!
Not related are you?
carter said:Here are some more pictures of the "Forrestor" that Art Fawcett created. It's a rust-colored felt with a bound edge and a forrest green ribbon. This hat is Art's rendition of an old Templeform by Stylepark that I sent to him. He improved immensley on the original! :fedora:

We can all appreciate the new visions and creations of those willing to step up and ply their talents to tantalize us with new possibilities. A hatter that has the ability and vision to see and produce all aspects of a hat, brings a uniform completion as apposed to a hat that has multiple spoons in the soup. How can a hat be called a custom, when it travels an assembly line so to speak, from one set of hands to another. Why not just call it a factory and let it go at that. JMHO
