Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

Good evening,

This afternoon I had a conversation with Art about my specifications for a new custom hats. I was planning to email him some pictures, but cannot find his email address.

Does anyone know what Art's email is?

Thanks for the help!

I sent this vintage Stetson XXX cowboy hat to VS Custom Hats to be converted to Whippet style fedora. I sent Art this picture of a Whippet I saw on eBay.



This is the result. How cool is that?

Great Art work, Bill.

Absolutely fantastic, Bill.

I sure hope whoever takes over VS keeps doing high quality repairs, conversions, etc. at the very reasonable prices Art charges.

I have a milan that should be delivered tomorrow and a dualists in queue. I’m getting ready to place two more in queue.

I have two in queue, but I’m struggling to find another that I want. I struck out with Confederate Grey, the old dye black cherry, and dove gray. I’m toying with a western vibe hat, but I can’t find the perfect style.

A dualist sounds fun. Did you source the straw hat part or is Art?

It’s all Art.

Deadly, I have good news. I will be getting my Dove back very soon so let's put that back on the table. I haven't given up hope just yet.
Thanks for posting Bill, but I need to correct the record. I personally didn't do the conversion on your Stetson, my guy David Gibson did. He is really doing nice work so much of what is coming in re repairs, he is doing. Don't worry about who can and will do this work when I retire in Dec, David is just getting started.

Great to know. I have another I’m ready to send to David.

Thanks, Art. Now I need to figure out the Dove specifications. I’ve been looking at hats that @Short Balding Guy and @Rabbit have posted in the past. And I’m ready to send a few vintage hats to David for some TLC.

Hello to all. My name is David Gibson.

I have enjoyed working on many of your projects over the last 5 years.

I haven’t posted on the lounge since it’s early beginning. I have somewhat of an aversion to electronic communications. To many years in corporate positions with a barrage of such. I and Art thought it time due to his impending retirement.

I look forward to working with you all in the future. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Are you taking over the shop?

Hi @David Gibson we’ve talked on the phone a few times. You just completed my Stetson XXX / Whippet conversion. I can most certainly vouch for your work. Thanks and welcome to the forum.
