The health issue Steve has encountered are very tragic...wod not wish that on anyone. I can say I haave seen peoe post oictures of their new hats from time to time...but I have not seen a single posting of someone receiving a hat from the late 200u time frame or early 2008 timeframe in at least...
I was very close to ordering a hat from Art several years back and then I lost my job due to contract downsizing and ended up working overseas for awhile. Most of the fedora's I wear with my coat & tie attire are 1940's with the tall crowns and wide brims...exactly what Art can deliver. I think...
Absolutely understand having "THE" hat...the problem is, some of us (ie me) paid in full back in November 2007 and have no hat. Everyone who has read this thread is aware of the various troubles that have befallen Steve, but that doesn't do much for me when I hear of new orders being placed...
Since the latest updates over on COW regarding the cash flow/raw materials shortage, I have not received any emails/updates from Steve on the situation (eg needing more cash to purchase more bodies, etc) nor have I made an attempt to send another email. The thought has crossed my mind to send an...
Bruce_Wayne can clarify this, but I believe I read on Club Obiwan that he placed his order on the 31st (which I took to mean Oct 31 2012), so I believe that was a "modern era," full price order...I have not seen a definitive post on someone receiving a hat from the back order list of those of us...
Pics like this from the 30's and 40's just drop my jaw when I see them...I love the tall crowns and wide brims, which are all to hard to find in my size and in good shape!
I put the subject mentioned hat up for auction on ebay this evening. The brim was a little narrow for my frame size and personal taste, albeit the lid is in very nice condition. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230877334259 .

Depending upon the method of payment, there are/could have been various routes to take. Many people paid via PayPal, personal check, or money order. PayPal has certain time restrictions for taking action. If a normal credit card payment had been made, which wasn't available back in 2007, similar...
There has been the whole discussion over the years on whether he should be taking new orders or filling the previous ones, about the fact he is working the new orders on his own time, etc. I know he has had health issues, too. I think I have been one of the more patient ones out there, just...
It will be 5 years for me this month. It's kind of interesting, back in November 2007, the weather was growing colder and I was recently retired from the military, thus deciding I wanted a proper hat for my head that would properly top off my typical coat & tie work attire. That led me to info...
Sadly, I'm still waiting on one I ordered in November 2007. Last response on I had on it was about 14 months ago. I've stopped my wife from pursuing legal action on more than one occasion, but if I hit the 5 year point in November, I won't intervene the next time she gets the urge...
I placed my order in Nov 2007 (latter part of the month). I had emailed Steve and he replied last summer when he was making a recovery and was trying to verify his outstanding orders. I had heard his health took a downturn last fall. I have not heard anything else first hand since last summer's...
