Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[The Wiser Hatter]

Love Art's stiching work on the brim. Great job Art.:eusa_clap

Fantastic, hatband - I'm glad you went ahead and ordered it. The proportions look just right. What colour is the felt?

I was tempted too after you posted that photo of Alan's Stetson, will have something to show you before too long. You might have started a trend here!

A double triple stitch?! Wow :eusa_clap

Edit - I meant a triple double stitch!

For a minute there I thought it was a double triple scotch or a triple double scotch. Whatever it is, I'll take one.

Hi Guys,
Yes, Art did a fantastic Job on the triple stitching

DJH the felt is bluesmoke.

Count me in for the scotch!!!

 

[DJH]

Thought so - looks great in that colour. I went for something slightly different.

Yes, the Scotch here too!

Hi Blackthorn,
it is a copy of a Stetson Special featured in the pre 40's Stetson thread on the Lounge.
Art did a superb job of copying the hat from the picture I showed him. It is on page 403 of this thread.

What a beauty! What are the brim width and crown height?

That is a beautiful hat. I love the proportions of it. All these posts of Art's hats are making me want to put in an order that much sooner!

You WILL NOT regret it!! I recieved my first VS yesterday and it is awesome! I'll get done pics up soon as I can. Thanks Art!

I've got one for show and tell, too. Got it yesterday. Art has done it again! Stay tuned.

I do have one for sale over in the classifieds...

And after actually holding one in my hands I'm even more excited to order one from Art.

After seeing examples of Art's Modern Times series and reading all the rave reviews on the Dove felt, I ordered what is billed on the VS website as the "Wall and Broad". This came yesterday and I just had to customize it, so no out-of-the-box photos, sorry. It comes with a center dent, pinched crown, but I bashed it into a C. The nice touch on this one is the 18 ligne black variegated ribbon. 5 1/4 crown, 2 3/8 brim, raw edge.

I really like this hat. Bravo, Art.

Hatband & g.durand, 2 very nice VS hats guys !

Rogera, it must be Nice ! anticipating pics.....

 

[hatband]

Kaosharper1 Just got the tape measure out. Brim width is 2 1/2" Crown height bashed is 5 1/2 " so unbashed crown would be 6" I guess.

g.durand Very sharp look, I like the ribbon on that one.

:eusa_clap:eusa_clap Hey g.durand & hatband, great looking hats! I like that "double triple stitch" brim hatband, and g.durand you rebash into a c-crown looks great. Wear them proudly. I'm waiting on my first VS now. Art has got it finished, should be here in Ol Kentucky any day!

 

[gambit]

Damn, it seems seems that this is the period where everybody is getting their hats. I just got a message yesterday about my one being shipped out!
hatband - That's an interesting looking brim stitching!
g.durand - I was wondering who would be the first to show up with one from the Modern Times Series. Ribbon looks quite distinctive.

Now I'm wondering if someone is going to order a hat with both the ribbon from the Wall & Board like g. durand and the triple double-stitch on the brim like hatband.

 

[Rogera]

Great looking additions to the Hall lately everyone! Here is my first VS and I am very proud of it. Please forgive the cell phone quality pics. When the wind dies down around here I'll get some better sunlit shots outside.












This hat is pounced so nicely and has such a nice hand I wish I had some shirts made of it. Thanks Art!

Very ******* looking, Roger - great looking hat.
