Well I took the plunge. The conformer is on the way. I am looking at a Granite felt, psuedo Brooklyn style, 2 3/8 trimmed brim with a deep, deep forest green/charcoal ribbon. Art says approximately 6 weeks. I can't wait!

@Delthayre:

When I viewed this ribbon design, I toug "no"....much to *busy*..Art is a great guy, and very talented, but his work is not *my* personal style or to my taste generally.

But upon viewing the photo, man, you look awesome.

I am continually humbled.

The hat and your look suit you perfectly.

Very cool. you look like a guy I'd like to know.

A guy that definitely commands attention and makes a presence in a room.

Well done!

Thanks for sharing,

ciao

that certainly is "unusual" and 'rarely known";)

I cannot get enough of these beautiful VS hats. I like them so much, I just ordered my second. I asked for a remake of the Stetson Whippet in chocolate felt. I only ordered it a week ago, and I faithfully check my email 3 times daily :)

I just sent my conformer back. My first one will be in Granite felt.

Art sent me some sample cards and i'm liking the camel color as well. Does anyone have a camel colored VS hat they want to share with us?

Thanks Tom,
I saw those pages previously and suspected that they might be camel but wasn't suresince camera lighting and monitors vary greatly.. One thing I have learned from this particular thread is that when I do receive my hats and post them, I will post the specifications along with the pictures. For me it is great when I can see a particular hat that intrigues me and the ribbon width, color acrown size and brim specs are listed.

Thanks again.

Congratulations Daizawaguy!

Excellent color choice and ribbon work solution from Art.
The VS hat collection is a small treasure and the photo itself is also a nice artwork.
I definitely like their look.

Best:

Tom

VS Steel

After some back and forth with USPS, I got my first work Art Saturday- The Sportaire. Great hat! Worth the wait and anticipation.

Now debating my second VS. Poking around the Hall of Fame thread, and seeing tons of great stuff. But I don't see any VS hats in "Steel." Anybody have a work of Art in that color?

That looks really sharp, Bart. How dark is it? I've been wanting to get a gray, but I want a lighter gray.
