I love those colors-- congrats-- great hat Brando!
Please excuse my brevity, as I do not a lot of time today.
My bags are packed and I will be heading out to the airport shortly to be back on Sunday afternoon. I am wearing my new VS dark moss fedora. The hat has a 2.5" brim and a 1 7/8" ribbon. Here is a quick pic as I am meeting gymnasts and heading out.
Here is an interior pic of the hat for aficionados.
More details to follow. Enjoy the weekend folks. Best wishes, Eric -
The Fedora Lounge seems to be costing me a lot of money!!!
well, a little different at least
Art is justly famed for his ribbon work but he did something for me recently that I've never seen on any of his hats before.
When Art told me he had added forest green to his felt colors I asked him to replicate this Dobs Gamebird from a 1947 add
however at the time he was not able to do the felt band so we opted for a basic ribbon
when I was at Art's place in September I saw a piece of felt that was trimmed from the brim of another forest hat he had made, and he agreed to replace the ribbon with a felt band, and here finally are the pics. Thanks to whoever ordered the stingy forest hat Not quite as wide as the original but I like it.
I like that hat a lot, Lloyd. What is the brim measurement, and also the crown height as bashed here?
It's a 2.75" brim and the crown is probably about 4.75" in the front and 3/8 to .5" lower in the back.
5.5" open crown and a 2.75" brim are pretty much my standard measurements for anything I have Art make. The last one I had made with a 5.75" crown and it looked really weird for a while
