Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Ordinary Guy]

Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but away for awhile....

2 3/4 brim with a 4 1/4 bashed crown. 4 point diamond bash.

The excitement builds again.

Talked to Art Friday and my black cherry is on the block!

Waiting is kinda like Christmas, oh wait, it IS Christmas time.

Rat Pack what are the specs on your hat? Happy Holidays to everyone as well.

 

[Rat Pack]

5 3/4 crown, teardrop. 2 1/2 bound brim.

I'm borrowing (ok, stealing) the ribbon Bart has on his oxblood with an elegant but simple design I saw in this thread a couple hundred pages back instead of a standard bow.

 

[coble]

that sounds great, i can't wait to see it.

I just got a note from Art, and my Christmas present to myself is headed to the block today! I'm more excited than I ever thought I could be about a hat!

Found a box at my front door when I got home today..

My Sahara has arrived.......

I took a couple of quick shots inside...

Great hat Ordinary!!! I love this color ... is it like the rest and changes depending on the light??? Great hat ... I think my next one will be a Sahara or the Silver Belly!!! Congrats!!

I'm excited to see how this one turns out. Your others are real stunners.

ME too Bart, and thanks for the ribbon color

Yes to a degree it does .... Here is a pic on an overcast day , it had just stopped snowing and the hat gets a different color to it..

Thanks, the PNW is bringing hats back. That one, like the rest of mine, was all Arts doing. It did turn out snazzy though. If I was a bazillionaire I would just ask Art to make me a clone of every hat he makes for everyone else

Keep em coming, fella's. Every new post here is another hat closer to me getting my Sunset... Whoops! Shouldn'ta said that!

:eeek: shhhhhhhh

Black Cherry seems to be quite a popular choice lately...I've counted at least three of us who have a Black Cherry on the block in the past few days. I'm fascinated by the fact that Art can make amazing and unique hats for each of us starting with the same basic hat bodies. I'll admit, though, that I'm becoming spoiled. When I log on to eBay or look at production hats online, I no longer have that strong desire to buy something...unless I see something vintage. I've started thinking, when considering a new hat, why go with what somebody else picked out to produce, when Art can make exactly what you want, exactly how you want it. When I fall in love with a new restaurant, I jokingly ask if they put something addictive in their food. With hats, though, I'm not sure what the excuse is.

Spoke to Art on Sunday and he helped me design my first custom hat.
He was a very candid guy (even told me to throw out a hat I owned because it didn't fit me (from pictures I sent him)).
He said that he normally completes about 1 hat a day, but is now up to 1.75/day to keep up with the holiday demand.
I threw a lot of wacky ideas at him (that he very graciously let me know were wacky).
The comment I remember him saying is..."I still have to put my name on the hat".
I can't wait to see what the final outcome is.

That's awesome!! I sent him a picture of one of my stingies for reference .... he told me to "burn the stingy" :eusa_clap!!! It did look horrible on me ... I love honest people!

Does anyone own a hat in Midnight Blue? If it explodes in the sunlight like the Dark Moss I'll have to put it on my list.

I have a Midnight blue from Art; It's a great color. In the sunlight it looks dark blue and under electric lights I think it almost takes on a purple-ish look. It's a very rich color, and more versatile than I thought it'd be.

Also put in hats fresh from surviving the elements. Don't baby them VS's!!!!

I am wearing the brim flipped up more and more, what say you guys?

I get a little excited when its snowing because I know for sure I'm reaching for the VS instead of a flat cap or something. Went downtown to see the lights and walk on Saturday night with my wife and it was sleeting a bit and I asked her if it were raining because I couldn't tell with my hat on, haha.
