I have purchased two heavy felt hats from Art Fawcett and one from Batsakes/Gus Miler. Gus Miller is very nice, but not only did he fail to even tell me whether he would make me a hat, the hat he sent me was not the color scheme I requested nor was its ribbon as I specified. He made light of the color and ribbon, saying this is easily changed. Yet, he has not done it, and if it were so easy, why did he not do it as I requested in the first place since I sent a typed letter and picture?
I am still getting used to Art's hats. Someone told me his hats were too flamboyant and I do see a certain lack of flexibility to his manufacture or conversely, a fixed house style. That said, his felt is far superior to that used by Gus Miller and is perfect for winter wear. It feels very nice, very substantial. I have to get used to "me, in a hat" but I look more and more fashionable the colder it gets...
