Sweeping generalities are good, right?

Well, if you have too many, sweeping them up is a good idea.

Almost as good as blanket statements...

Long time no come see in this thread, or the hats section for that matter. Art, I just wanted to say hello and say thank you by re-posting a few of my VS hats with new photos. Hope all is well with you. I think it's safe to say that is was your hats that got me started on this all-vintage wardrobe thing. I couldn't be more happy with the hats you made for me.

VS granite, black cherry, moss green, chocolate and dove. Details below. All hats are 5.5" to 5 3/4" on a 52-ish type block (close to straight-sided with rather flat roof) and 2 3/8" brim.

VS moss green LITE, 22 ligne band, bound edge. Early-mid 40s (US) 3-piece by Raymond's.

VS black cherry LITE, 19 ligne band, bound edge. 30s (UK) 3-piece by Krett & Sons.

VS granite LITE, 19 ligne band, raw edge. 1937 (US) DB by The Storrs-Schaefer Co.

VS chocolate LITE, 19 ligne band, raw edge. Mid 40s (US) 3-piece by Society Brand Clothes Sunstrum's.

VS dove LITE, 22 ligne band, bound edge. Mid-late 30s (US) 3-piece unlabeled.

And that's how it's done folks! Every combination is superb!

You know Art I've got a couple of things that need some work sitting in a box intended for you. I'll get them in the mail soon.

I've already asked you about them I'm just slow on the delivery I guess!

After years of ordering hats from Art I finally had the pleasure to drive through Oregon and meet the man in person. Great guy! Amazing shop! I definitely recommend stopping through if you're in the area. I also was able to pick up a panama that Art cleaned up and improved. The first two are pre-Art and the remaining are post-Art.

I'm not normally a straw hat fan, but that Milan straw is gorgeous. The bowler is very cool. Heck, the western is, too.

Thanks Tony, I enjoyed meeting you also. Have a great summer!!!!!

Kathy will help you out but you may have to wait a while. She usually has several orders waiting for conformers. I waited about 10 weeks for mine. Roy at Jaxonbilt makes them and he has Kathy as the distributor. About $150 plus shipping costs.

[Art Fawcett]
