The Black Cherry has arrived, Its Beautiful. I gotta find some time, hopefully tonight, to take some photos.

I will say this.. The color is very nice. Not at all overstated. It looks classy.


Now to dig for pics on how the hat in "Public Enemies' was bashed.. I watched half the movie last night and everything was so muted tonally for style that i could not see the hat enough to get a good look at the bash!

The pics I used show a center dent with soft roll front pinches Musashi, but, I sent it creased..it should fall right back into place with slight pressure Sir.

It arrived creased, Thanks! I just wanted to check the reference material to see how close it was to the movie pics. I'm not sure it will STAY like the movie but i thought that'd be a good start. :)

Q: What does 'Soft roll' front pinch mean?

I cannot thank you enough for this awesome, awesome hat!
FYI I get compliments on the Mojave all the time. Got one today in fact!

I have bought some fabric for backdrop and a pier one 'glass head' to see about setting up to take some photos.

One and a half years... how much longer must I wait~!?

That's stunning and probably one of the most exciting hats that I've seen in this thread. I love deep, rich reds like that. The color is superb in every quality and the ribbon complements it handsomely. I admire the classic crease and quite nice arrangement of the pictures too.

If dark cherry ever becomes available in lightweight felt (and I $305 of disposable funds), I shall send an order off like a shot! Heck, that might not even stop me.

Very satisfactory.

I've very satisfied as well. Art is my hero at the moment. :)

Gotta get some shots wearing it, but those are hard to take a good one of by yourself. I always feel self conscious taking my own picture. I did a photo set like this for my VS Mojave but i figure i'll put it up in a day or two. Dont want to flood the thread with pics.

I bought the backdrop and the glass head tonite, and i had to throw in my winter coat and gloves to give it that 'gangster' vibe. I wish i had had a bottle of Jack Daniels around. I have absinthe but that doesn't quite fit the theme.

Black Cherry and Oxblood seem to be my favorite colors so far.

Anyone have a good looking VS in a green color? I've a green Akubra Squatter, and I find dark green to be extremely versatile.

There are plenty in this thread. Search on "moss." Also, Art's web site has a few examples, particularly the Sportaire.

The Black Cherry looks great, and actually looks closer to the Optimo oxblood than the VS oxblood, or is that my imagination? BC looks a like it has a little more black in it. Love it.

The proportions look great, as usual. What are they?

Without a doubt, the previous page contains two of the finest hats - one of historical significance, and one of current production - that exist today in my humble opinion. Musashi, you are a very fortunate man to have such a masterpiece in your pocession. The fact that it is avaliable to any of us extends that honor to each of us...thanks Art:eusa_clap

I gasped out loud when I rolled down that page and saw it. My praise can't get much higher than that. I think Art out-Optimo'd Optimo.

I recall posting some time ago on this thread something to the effect of "The masses want oxblood" (referring to the Public Enemies hat color) and Art has now come through. Thanks Art for doing this for us! I will be in line as soon as possible for one! Optimo-Shmoptimo!!!:p
