    The Dobbs Diner...

    Perfect! Nik this is outstanding. I'll be talking to Art in the next week or so, and this will be the model for what I'd like. I'll have to think a bit about that flange, though; I, too, prefer a flatter brim. Thanks again for everything. Can't wait to see the end result- -Brando

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Great hats, Landman and Blew! I know what you mean about the pictures not doing justice, too. Art's hats are really something special, from the snap of the brim to the ribbonwork. Best wishes, gents-

    For Sale: 7 3/8 Vintage Silhouettes in Pecan

    Before I list it to the general public, here's a gorgeous Art Fawcett, Borslino-inspired fedora for your consideration. Crown is tall and straight sided, brim is 2 5/8", Pecan felt looks gorgeous. I asked Art to recreate an Allesandria and he did his usual impeccable job. I just never wear...

    brass or nickel hardware for a black FQHH highwayman?

    I changed out the thin brass Aero zipper on my black FQHH HB Deluxe for a thicker nickel one. I preferred the more understated look of the brass, but wanted something more substantial to hang on to. Nickel against black is a bolder look.

    Wow! Another great and creative VS, Eric- I am really drawn to that Granite, and what an interesting ribbon treatment. Well done, my friend!

    Great hat! I didn't realize what a nice shade of grey Granite is. It's got me wondering how an Oxblood ribbon treatment would work with it. Hmmm-

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Eric- I knew I liked you. I'm a lifelong guitar player myself. Mostly acoustic, but every once in awhile I plug in and crank it up a bit. Got the chance last year to get back together with old friends and play for a busload of high school classmates at our 40th reunion. A real highlight for...

    The Hot Water treatment-

    Many of you know this already, but this is the first time I've tried it. I'm trying to break in a FQHH HB Deluxe that's like a suit of armor- particularly trying to shorten up the sleeves. I sprayed them with scalding water using the dish spritzer on the kitchen sink. PRESTO! Made them...

    Fedora Towns

    I see more of them all the time here in Chicago. It's becoming pretty common to salute one another with a quick forefinger to the brim. Yesterday I saw a fellow wearing an upturned brim and Ray Ban Clubmasters. Thought it must be Che for a minute.
