Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Art Fawcett]

Thank you Sir!!

 

[DJH]

One of the best straw hat saw this season!

Thanks, Daniele. I think Art can produce just about any hat we can imagine. I'm very pleased with this one.

i am narrowing down my color selections for VS to powder blue, silvermist, or silver belly. Has anyone ordered a powder blue fedora? How does it look when combined with grey or blue suits? Thanks. : )

I've not seen a powder blue,I find that silvermist has become a favorite.

Here is the powder blue in case anyone is wondering

GHT has a light blue fedora that he wears quite a bit.
It's a lighter blue though.
But he wears it with a lot of other colors and it does look very nice.

Thank you for the replies. The powder blue is lighter than the pic and I like both the silvermist too. Maybe I will just buy two of them. Lol

That's the best bet. Just get 'em all.

However, check this post out. Then check out my recent Silvermist purchase two posts down. They're Gannons, not VSs, but I believe they source their felts from the same supplier (Winchester). Should give you an idea of the finished product.

US Postal Service says my Vintage Silhouette is out for delivery. Can't wait, I don't know what I am getting yet. All I told Art was 100% Beaver and the color. I left the rest up to him. Look for some unboxing images soon.

You sure do not need a suit as sharp as you look in this picture!

Go with the powder blue. It's a great color, very versatile, and works well as a year-round hat.

I stumbled upon this beautiful hat from Wellema Hat Co. Haven't yet been a customer of theirs but this hat is so smooth looking. I like the color scheme.

Sorry just looked it up and apparently my hat is blue smoke. Sorry.

[Donlope]

I've been sold. Powder blue it is from VS. Will call Art today.

I love my VS powder blue! Here are some previously posted photos of mine. Light-weight felt, 2 5/8 brim. The sportcoat is sage green and the tie is red, the shirt light blue

(just to give you an idea of how it would go with your clothes).

Part 1

Let the unboxing begin!!!!

Quality: 100% Beaver
Color: Confederate Grey
Brim: 2 3/4 inch
Brim Treatment: Underwelt
Crown Unblocked: Do not know - left it to Art
Crown Rake: Will update later once I measure
Ribbon: Need to measure as well, it is a Dark Green that almost appears black

Getting excited!




Love the Hat Box!




Nice Cummins Initial Perforation


I like the card about whose hat this is, made me laugh.


Nice Crown Pic

Part 2

Love the pounce


Close up of the underwelt - I need to learn how to do this


Beautiful side profile


My first VS lid and I love it. I let Art do whatever he wanted on this. I wanted 100% Beaver and this color and then sent a picture of myself and said make something that will look good.
See my updated Avatar!!!!
