I thought so, Art. We can look forward to seeing more photos before too long, I'm sure.

Possibly the most stunning VS, so far

I thought of you the second I saw that hat, Tom!

 

[kaosharper1]

Yes David, that's "Legacy" made for a client with permission to make it a "Limited". I don't do a great deal of tone on tone but when it's right its great

You've done a lot of great "tone on tone" for me! These are all great hats.

Great hats,
however the original black cherry is my pick, with the smaller brim width and crown height.

 

[Rogera]

Wow Art that "Dusty Lane" is sweet!

I still prefer the original Black Cherry colour over the new darker one (most of the time anyway ). Of course, to get the new lightweight felt, I believe you have to get the new BC shade.

Yup, the Dusty Lane is verrry pretty.

Just seen the interview. Love it.

The description of the double take, precisely as I see it too (and I guess many other members).

Top marks Art!!

Great hats Art!

Thanks to rewatching "Public Enemies" recently, every black cherry fedora with a center dent and matching ribbon makes me think of Dillinger's hat.

You could call it "Lincoln Avenue".
It's the street Dillinger was gunned down on, though it may be a bit too morbid.

Just too tempting. Houston temps are a mild mid-nineties. Broke out Art's Nutria Hitchhiker to break it in a little.

Man I wish I was in SoCal this weekend!

 

[Missouri Mason]

Man! Honestly, I rarely wish to be back in California, but this would be fun.

 

[kaosharper1]

I'm out of town again! Art and I have to coordinate our schedules. Dang!
