Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
If that's what your Mr. Handy hat is going to look like...it may be on my short list. Question Art: how does the Joey line compare to Century? I mean, I know it's rabbit as opposed to beaver, but I've seen some REALLY nice rabbit felt hats that could almost be beaver, and then I've seen some... -

Ooh...love that hat! Dang it, I just got a new VS, and already I'm looking at new ones! -
Hat Resolutions, 2013
Ooh, getting rid of hats? I think that's the boldest resolution yet. For my part, my new years hat resolution is to acquire an Optimo 1000 Silverbelly. -M -
Size of Don Draper's fedora brim?
Looks like it could be a cavanagh edge as well. Either way, they really need to get him a hat more suited to him - that hat isn't suited to him, and is too battered anyway for a highly-paid Madison Avenue advertiser. -M -
Newby to Forum. New hat questions
Sounds like you've been doing some thinking. First off, I think going custom rather than with Stetson is an excellent idea, if you're comfortable spending the money (personally I am, but there are plenty of people who aren't and that's fine too). First thought is check out this page on Art's... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Just got my featherweight black cherry for Christmas today. Man, it is difficult to photograph! So, just a fore-warning, the photos do not come close to doing it justice! https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3WNEjTMN-Ew/UNolUnKP9LI/AAAAAAAARnY/wzQ_LYUT3vU/w252-h447-k/IMAG0122.jpg... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Ooh! Incredible. Looks like I have something to look forward to Christmas day. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Nope! Every time I see the new black cherries, I crave to see more. Got any more pics? It'd be great to see it from different angles and/or in different lighting. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Gorgeous! I take it that's the featherweight? -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Pretty sure Litefelt is the same price. As for why people would take it over standard weight (btw, liteweight felt is beaver), there are any number of reasons: they want something that will breath more for summer months, they want a floppier hat, or they already have several dress weight hats... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I can't imagine anyone giving you grief over the decision, Art. More felt choices can only be a good thing. When you get around to it, it would be nice to have a list of all the colors available for each felt (perhaps with swatches; I realize this is problematic because monitors differ in their... -
Hats in Jackson Mississippi?
I don't want to get into a huge discussion about Adventurebilt (especially since JoshD has already said they're out of his price range), but supposedly the people who've ordered lately have had pretty short wait times - BruceWayne ordered sometime in September and had it by the end of October. -M -
Hats in Jackson Mississippi?
Also, I wouldn't worry about the hat being too tall for you - if you've got a long face as you said, that's the best type of face to wear a tall crown. A tall hat will make a long face look smaller by comparison, whereas a shorter hat will just make it look enormous. Case in point, check out... -
Hats in Jackson Mississippi?
I don't think it's in Jackson, but isn't Adventurebilt based in Mississippi? Granted, the prices are high, but people who make new orders have been getting theirs quite expediently. -
Watch "Ken Burns: Prohibition" to see some incredible hats
Quite likely correct, although we do have vintage photographs (often of people who don't realize they're being photographed), and that can serve as something of a corrective. I haven't noticed much of a difference in the way movies portray people wear hats and how the photographs depict it... -

Limited? Really? Seems like Art just reordered. Have they been selling that quickly? -

Very nice hats, gqmagic. It's not entirely clear from the photos, but it looks like you might have something of a hollywood brim going there. -M -
Italian hat Retailers in US?
True that. I probably should have been more clear. -
Italian hat Retailers in US?
I dunno, I tend not to give modern production hats much attention anymore, since the quality (with a few exceptions) just isn't there. Plus, why would one spend $150-$200 on a low quality production hat when for that money, one could either buy vintage on ebay or check out some of the less... -
Italian hat Retailers in US?
Honestly, Fedoras are on the rise. You're just looking in the wrong country. The USA makes the best hats in the world today, bar none. -M
