    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    The "Stendahl" Introducing the "Stendhal." I asked Art to replicate the hat in this picture of Earl Stendahl, a famous art dealer in the 20s: He did a great job. The hat is in black cherry with a 2 5/8" brim and a 5 5/8" crown. The crease is kind of a cattleman's crease but the brim...

    FS: "Vintage" Optimo of Chicago, Size 7.5

    I've decided to cull the herd and am putting up one of my best, little worn hats. I'm selling it because it is too big for me and no matter how I stuff the sweat a slight breeze will blow it off my head and tilting my head makes it slide over. I am a 7 5/16 so 7 1/2 is just too big so I've...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I'm always wearing my Art-lites around here. Mid 70s and sunny here tomorrow but high in the 60s Sunday. It's been a little cool.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    My black cherry is supposed to arrive today, but I guess that doesn't count.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    This is great. I go to Chicago on business all the time but I can never get out to their regular store. Now I have a chance.

    Floppy Fedora from the 1920s?

    Here's Ezra Pound, but I couldn't find one of him as a young man with a fedora that was any good:

    Floppy Fedora from the 1920s?

    Since Stendahl was an art gallery owner it would make sense that this Bohemian style would continue into the 20s. Thanks.

    Floppy Fedora from the 1920s?

    We'll have a little wait I'm afraid. I'm in Art's que, but I'm not in a hurry. This is really a winter hat and the winter's kind of over here in SoCal (such as it is).

    Floppy Fedora from the 1920s?

    Thanks guys. The shape of my face is round like Stendahl's and I thought this looked good on him. So I thought this would be a good overcoat hat and different than my other fedoras. Looking good Hatophile!

    Floppy Fedora from the 1920s?

    Anyone have an idea on this style? Like when it's from? I'm having Art Fawcett make up a replica, but I thought some of the scholars here might know something about it:

    Question: "Public Enemies" Fedora

    Art Fawcett can replicate just about any hat you'd want. Optimo, in Chicago, made the original hats for Public Enemies and sell a hat that's similar but not exactly like the original.

    Final version....Hitchhiker by VS

    Wow. What a great hat. You've done it again!

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    As far as the light colors (which I find more appropriate in SoCal), I have a blue smoke, a silverbelly, and a mojave. No problem keeping them clean.

    What a generous offer, Art. Especially since your hats are a bargain at their regular price!

    Johnny Depp told to drop the hats by Vanessa Paradis

    What else could it be about? That should be a warning to our spouses.

    Summer Colors...

    My VS blue smoke Jazzman is a favorite, and also a VS silverbelly (the one with 2 buttons on the hatband). Both are in Artlite felt, which is hard to come by now.
