    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    The Black Cherry has arrived, Its Beautiful. I gotta find some time, hopefully tonight, to take some photos. I will say this.. The color is very nice. Not at all overstated. It looks classy. Now to dig for pics on how the hat in "Public Enemies' was bashed.. I watched half the movie...

    Hat OCD Was driving behind a chevy SUV this morning and read it's model name as "UNDERWELT" ... Turned out it was actually "UPLANDER LT" ... Do I need a doctor?

    Do you name your hats?

    Aha! I should name my hat's Cherie and Joan! (Cherie Curry and Joan Jett) they are both VS's... Cherie is blond (mojave) and Joan is Black Cherry!! Awesome. (I'm a bit excited that the Runaways movie is coming out next week on blu-ray/dvd) Oh and then there's the Stetson Stingy which i...

    VS Oxblood, you asked; here it is.

    I actually totally believe it. 3 seconds is enough time to get a lot of light gathered. As long as everything remains perfectly still it SHOULD work well. I will have to give this approach a try! Thanks for the tips!

    VS Oxblood, you asked; here it is.

    That is a beautiful hat. Stunning. I especially like the edge. Whats that called. Bound-edge? I may have to get that on my next VS.. which will be a while, just got two. one is in the mail, but i really like what Art did with the edge. The binding is not 'too-wide' like i find most edge...

    Do you name your hats?

    I watched the Maltese Falcon a few months ago.. but I guess I missed that line cause I had to look up what your were talking about on google. I had no idea the word 'Dingus' came fron there. I have not yet started naming hats, but I may have to now... this thread puts ideas in ones head.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I think next week sometime, I was out of town last week, and I think Mr. Fawcett got some well-deserved downtime last week. I'm excited of course, but on the other hand it's over 90 out every day. I won't be wearing it much until it gets a little cooler. UPDATE: Just got a shipping notice from...

    Congrats! I am looking for my Black Cherry sometime next week, but just like last Month with the VS Mojave I will be out of town when it arrives! The joys of a telecommuting job. It's ok tho.. Just adds to the anticip...

    Well it cant be "TOO" red, because Art swears he does not make "Pimp hats or Clown hats"

    That envy should keep Art in Business for a while longer ;)

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Ok. I cave. :) Plus i do like to share the joy... Art says its 3-4 shades darker than oxblood but definitely not black. Looks like its quite bright in the room, but the EXIF data on the photo says the flash did not fire. So I am of course still without any real idea what the color looks...

    I thought about it but I don't know how he feels about posting it yet. Has he ever gotten annoyed by anyone posting a pic of a pre-finished hat?

    DO you guys, when waiting for your next VS masterpiece, find yourself reading this thread over and over out of sheer obsessiveness? or is that just me? I'm also staring, repeatedly, at a picture in my email of a gorgeous black cherry body in progress... drool.

    Scala hats made in USA?

    I had read somewhere here that Scalas weren't too good (very paraphrased)... but a few weeks ago i had only 2 days to find my first Panama for my trip to the beach. For felts, I have a Dobbs, 2 Stetsons, and 1 VS.. none of those are for the beach!... So I went to a hat shop in Norfolk to pick...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Shutter Island I'm on a break 2/3rds of the way through Shutter Island. Very good but lengthy movie. Amusingly (to me anyhow) I kept thinking they had the bows on the wrong side of their hats... then got up from the film and put my hat on and realized that my confusion was because I only...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    You know, i really appreciate the way Art takes the time to HIDE the stitches that hold the hat band onto the hat. It's this kind of attention to detail that makes me appreciate my VS hat even more. All my other hats (I have no true vintage ones) just have big stitches right on the 'face' of...
