Thought it might be cool to share this here.
The motivation behind my VS order was to capture the spirit of an old late '30s Mallory that I have.... not to copy it exactly ... but to simply capture the essence of it.
I wanted the crown taller and a bound edge instead of a welt.
the VS. is not as light in color as it looks here

I think Art did a fantastic job

Congrats! on your first VS then!

I emailed Art about a hat, something in ArtLite beaver felt, something off-white (bone, ivory, silverbelly or silvermist) with a burgundy ribbon and bow and dark navy highlight in the knot. I like your removable satin liner, and I also asked about the star shaped vents he makes on the sides. Art won't keep making hats forever, so I figure I better get a nice one from him while I can.

I sooooo love his dark moss felt, too...


DOVE... is perfecto... check that out and I agree that Dark Moss is a fantastic hat color ' specially in the light of day...I'm working on Number 10 coming up...

Thank you for posting those photos, Rabbit! Excellent.

I actually have gone through all 500+ pages in this thread, but many of the earlier posted photos have lost their links and don't show up anymore. If there is an exception to this, I believe it is in regard to Rabbit's fine photos.

That's what I always say. Dove works with pretty much any suit color including browns, greens and the rare pastel shades.
