    The Boss is here

    Hi Art, I like it! I was hesitant to say anything, but I think the whole double brim thing would look pretty dorky in real life... Where would you wear something like that? Either of yours with the single brim, although I like this one much better than the one with the funny pugaree would...

    One more week Montecristis and Cuencas

    Hi Roger, I just went for the 100 dollar one. I wouldn't know what to do with a really upscale one! Of course, I'm sure that Robert already has his main man looking high and low for the best 100 dollar hat in Ecuador! Myron

    One more week Montecristis and Cuencas

    Hi Guys, I got my order in! I couldn't resist saving the shipping costs by "buying in bulk" like this. I guess I'm partly to blame for Robert adding more options to the list, but that just makes deciding that much funner, right? Keep smiling, Myron

    Straw pole - how many of you wear lids whilst driving?

    Hi Guys, I wear my hat all of the time when I'm driving my peeekup, but when I drive the old cars, I don't. I have a '65 GTO convertible, but the temptation to put your toe in it is always to great to wear a hat. My other old car is a '70 ElCamino, which is just too short in the top for my...

    New Biltmore Milan weave fedora

    Hi Sharpetoys, The main reason I got the Milan weave from Bilmore was the shape... The hat is blocked to look like an actual fedora, just as your Panam hat is, rather than the dorky looking gardener hats that you see most of the time. As for buying another Montechristi from Panamabob, I...

    New Biltmore Milan weave fedora

    Hi Guys, I just received a couple hats from Charlie Swindal (The Gladhatter) yesterday. One of them is a Milan weave fedora from Bilmore hats in Canada. I have a few Panama hats, including two that Art blocked, one of which I bought from Robert (Panamabob). I like the panama hats, but it...

    New Hickory colored 25X Gladhatter

    Hi Guys, I just got a couple new hats from Charlie Swindal yesterday... One is a 25X Hickory color fedora. When I first contacted Charlie several months ago, I asked him if he thought that I could be proud to be seen in a lowly 25X hat, or would I be looked down on by the "hat snobs" for...

    Vintage Beaver Art Fawcett

    Hi Guys, That hat looks like it must be my Christmas hat's twin sister! I was hoping that Art would post pictures, but I guess Andykev beat him to it. Wear it in good health. Keep smiling, Myron

    Getting the nerve...

    Hi Guys, I never was much of a hat wearer... Most of the hats you see around this part of the country are advertising hats, and I never was too keen on wearing them. In August of 2003, my son went to Ecuador on a mission for our church, and as a show of solidarity with him, I bought and...

    Christmas hat from Art

    Hi G, I felt lucky to get the hat, that's for sure. When I contacted Art, the vintage bodies were going fast, and I think the only reason I got this one was that someone had to rescind their order. He said that this hat is some of his best work to date, and I hope that as soon as he gets a...

    Christmas hat from Art

    Michael D. I know what you mean, but I can't bear to pass up another hat, just to buy a camera to take pictures with. I'm sure that when Art sees this thread, he will post pictures for us. I just got back from lunch and got the second compliment today on the hat, so I guess Art can be...

    Christmas hat from Art

    Hi guys, I waited to post anything about my newest hat, because I wanted to wear it a while before I commented on it. Then the excrement hit the fan, and I never got back to do it. Anyway, here goes... I ordered one of Art's new hats made from one of his vintage bodies. I still don't...

    Latest Acquisition

    Hi Art, Well, that makes sense. But, you've proven to be pretty inovative when it comes to hat styles... Maybe you could come up with some that "celebrate" the moth holes! Then you could buy up the rest of his stock and fulfill that may more dreams. Put you thinking cap on... I'm sure...

    Latest Acquisition

    Hi Art, Don't ever give up the hunt! Those vintage bodies are just too nice... Why do you suppose someone would have put them back and left them for so long. Are the bodies surfacing now some that were around when hats lost their popularity, or were they just being hoarded for a rainy day...

    Latest Acquisition

    Hi Jamespowers and Art, Boy that is a sweet looking hat! How do you both like the vintage felt? I know I sure like the hat Charlie made for me from one of his vintage bodies! With the shortage of decent hats on ebay, and especially the difficulty finding the size and style you want, I...

    Fedora's online hat shop now open.

    Hi Sharpetoys, The last time I exchanged email with Fedora, he was only planning on doing brown hats. Are the ones you got from him indi brown, or were you able to twist his arm and get other colors? I don't care much for dark brown, actually... Keep smiling, Myron

    Hi Mr. Collins, Is it about time for your next installment? We're all waiting on pins and needles to see what you come up with next. Those of us who are living vicariously through you, need another hat fix! Seriously... I hope you're well and that things are going great for you, over...

    OPTIMO FALL COLORS 2004

    Gershomite and Zohar, Sooooo... I guess if I didn't already have a spare tire around my middle, I'd have to watch out for it AND a chrome dome every time I wear my Vintage Mercury felt. Keep smiling, Myron

    Vintage felt - Best of both worlds?

    Hi Sharpetoys, I was looking on the Club Obi-Wan forum, and Fedora is even sending one of his vintage felt I.J. style fedoras around for anyone who's interested to see and feel! All you have to do is promise to send it on to the next person on the list. I thought that was pretty decent of...
