Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

[The Wiser Hatter]

Love my VS Milan its the real thing made by hand

 

[tropicalbob]

I just PM'd Art about a new Milan and am a little undecided about the style. Any suggestions from you guys? I'm thinking about the style of DJH's Duelist on page 18 of this thread, but I'm open to suggestions.

 

[tropicalbob]

BTW, there's a very informative article about Milan straw on page 15 of this thread.

I love Art's Milans. If I were to order another one, it would probably be similar to Ed Wiser's -- tall crown, center dent, wide black ribbon. Mine has an optimo crown. I couldn't be happier with it.

I much prefer the Milan straw dress hat to a regular white Panama. I think it's far more distinctive and interesting. I used to look with envy on those vintage straws that I'd see members here occasionally picking up and that I couldn't find (because I'm a 63), but Art's Milans are as close to those old beauties as you're going to find today.

Don't have a Panama as yet but DO have a VS Milan (see avatar) it is extraordinary in the hand ( and on the head too...)... I think I would like a porkpie Milan next...

A porkpie's a great idea. Along similar lines, Sunbody has a Gambler that's a cool style and that'd make a killer Milan. Hmmm.

That is a "C" crown block Bob. One of my favorites. Emigran, I'll start working on a Pork Pie to show this week. I've not tried one yet.

MAY EVENT !!!
I'm happy to announce a roll back of pricing for the period from May 17 to June 17 to my 2010 pricing of 100% beaver hats to $310 ( from $385), Joey felt to $225 ( from $275) and Milans to $300 (from $350). I'm sorry but I cannot apply the $50 discount for the Hats for Vets program in this case.
I will ask Ed to put this announcement on the website also. If interested please just email or PM and we will get you in the queue,
Happy Spring

Yes, a gambler style Milan would be very cool.

Thanks David, consider yourself "in the queue" I'm sorry but I have been lagging in getting Ed the Straw info. I bought a home a few months ago that is a total fixer upper and all spare time has been going to get it move in ready. Too many projects, not enough time

Thanks Art - you might not want to do it when I show you what I'm thinking of. [emoji1]

gulp...you want me to do WHAT???
