Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
Great info. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a lightweight, but I have plenty of time to ponder and change my mind...countless times. :) -
Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
Rephrasing wasn't necessary. I realized you didn't mean they can't be worn in the rain. Bringing up the brim, does beg the question...what is the practical width limit of a lightweight? -
Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
Interesting! Why not? There's no way I'd purchase a hat that I shouldn't wear in the rain. -
Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
I just jumped in line for my second hat from Art Fawcett. My first is a dressweight oxblood. I'm definitely going with a lighter colored hat for the next one, but would like some input. I've looked all over the place and I've not been able to find any information that directly compares... -

Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!
I wouldn't wear mine so high if not for the necessity (big noggin, etc.). I prefer them lower. But, yeah, high, low, medium...it's all personal preference. -
Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!
This subject fascinates me. The determining factor on how low my hat sits for me is crown height and the type of crease. Even with a deep teardrop on Federation IV, I could go no lower than "almost two fingers". It always feels like the wind from someone walking by briskly could knock it off my... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
2 hours and 15 minutes, not that I'm counting. :cheers1: That is the truth. Until I get my next VS hat, every piece of clothing I purchase will match this hat. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
It sure is, on both counts. I'm already contemplating what color I'm going to go with for my next one. I'm definitely going with the same dimensions. The crown height and brim width are absolutely perfect. It's so versatile. I can go all the way from brim up with a t-shirt and jeans to brim down... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Thank you! It really is a great color. Yes, he said it's the last one he has and he's not buying anymore. Just not enough interest. -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Couldn't pass up the lighting this evening. The mug shot isn't very color accurate,but the other two are right on the money. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I was a couple beers in when I received Art's call, letting me know it was my turn. It was a brief, but good conversation (speaking for myself). I decided on his very last oxblood, 6" open crown, 2.5" brim, 1.75" ribbon (I believe he said it's burgundy) with his signature splash of color, and... -

Would the felt in a Dobbs Twenty be considered dressweight? -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Thank you for the reassurance. I have absolutely no doubt in Art's ability. That is pretty remarkable! -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I have a "bad" feeling that you're right on the money. I really like the hats he's made for you by the way. Yes, I think I remember every photo and every name associated with every photo in this thread now. lol -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Starting not too long after I joined this forum, I've wanted to have Art make me a hat, but I was always afraid to do so, for fear that in my ignorance, I'd end up with a hat I really didn't want. So I waited, and waited, and waited... And then finally, a month ago, I decided it was time. I... -
The Dobbs Diner...
Thanks! It's great to know there are people out there who still admit when they were wrong...that one time. It keeps ya humble. ;) -
The Dobbs Diner...
I bought this hat not too long ago. Initially, I didn't really care for it, but it's now my favorite hat. It took a bit of tinkering with the bash, until I liked it. The crown is 6" (open), 2 1/4" brim. Although I'm no expert, I'm sure the ribbon is not original, and I'm going to have that... -

Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?
I use Scout Felt Hat Rain & Stain Repellent on my Akubra Federations and will continue to do so. I wear them all the time. I've hunted and hiked in downpours while wearing them, and the repellent definitely is well worth using in my humble opinion.
