    Stetson Hats Question

    Art Hi, Ray. Get Art to make you one with the exact dimensions & colors you want. It won't say "Stetson" but it won't need to if it says Fawcett. My 2 cents. Buddy

    Great news, Art. You're my hat hero. You'll be all rested up just in time for felt hat season. :)

    HELP, What Have I Bought ????

    I don't know exactly what it is, but once you post pictures, I bet you'll get some expert advice. My two cents is (are?) this: it looks cool, and it looks old, particularly with that wide ribbon. The bash in the picture looks like pics and advertisements posted from the pre-ww1 era when the...

    Introducing the “MARLBROUGH FORTY” Open Road

    That's an amazing find. The Shady Oak is kind of legendary, at least in my (DFW) part of the country. If I remember right, Peters Bros. has pictures on its web site of JFK with a Shady Oak that was given him on a trip to Fort Worth. I've often wondered if there were any old ones somewhere out...

    Any new christmas hats on the way?

    I presently have nothing on the way but have been buttering up the wife for the possibility that "Santa" may bring daddy something about the size of a hat box. ;) Bud

    WWII responsible for death of pastel hats?

    I think that's outrageously fascinating. So by pastel, what exactly are we talking? Blues and greens and yellows and shades of red or exactly what? And you know, part of the problem with understanding this must be the lack of more widespread color photography pre-war. Everything just looks...

    My Grandfather's Hat

    two amazing stories and one most excellent restoration. I've often wished for one of my grandfather's hats. He was born in 1909 and died in 1974, and I was too young at the time to care about hats. They're all long since gone. So enjoy that one, both for the beauty that Art's coaxed back out...

    The Black Hat Brigade

    I vote "hate." For me, black is severe, loud (unless it's someplace expected like your shoes). It can also be a tad funereal. I'd rather choose from among some colors. Bud

    Vintage Stetson - VS - Vintage Silhouettes

    On the one hand, apples & oranges. If you want a vintage, then there you go. If you don't have to have vintage, go Art. His quality is excellent, he's great to deal with, you get your goods quick, it's gonna fit, and he'll make what you want. There's no way vintage can supply all that. And...
