Quality is where it's at for me Andy, I' sure people expect nothing less
Wow, 11 years ago.Here's Dad and I in our panama's
Both crafted this summer. by Art Fawcett.
I have a felt version coming to me in the mail as we speak. Hopefully, I'll get it Monday.
Was always curious Art as to who your mentors were...?Amazing isn't it Paul!!! It seems like only yesterday I was the "new kid" on the block & now I"m considered an old timer.
Enjoy
They all know who they are...Oh my gosh, I really didn't have any Bob. I did spent time with JW in the early days but only after gaining a name, Rodney Allison ( North Valley Hats) would talk but not give anything up, John Morris & Dad of Rocky Mountain hats were friendly & helpful but really, I am basically self taught. I was already established before being "Welcomed in" by the old timers. Only once you are "known" do any established hatters start sharing anything of value. Consequently, I am and have mentored many new hatters on the scene. I don't wish to receive any credit for others success so I won't mention names but it has been over a dozen.
yeah Art, and that's my "lucky" hat too. Still looks great after 12 years. Best money I've ever spent.Amazing isn't it Paul!!! It seems like only yesterday I was the "new kid" on the block & now I"m considered an old timer.

I know Michael Gannon is one of themI don't wish to receive any credit for others success so I won't mention names but it has been over a dozen.
Where can I go to find out about this?Thank you Killick, yes, I am still offering the discount for Vets hats. Enjoy your Milan
Just reach out Bill, I will be bringing up the thread again soon but I offer a $50 discount if you send at least one hat that I can turn over to the Domiciliary here in town before Christmas.Where can I go to find out about this?
Yes Sir, as long as I don''t have to work on it we are good. The first couple of years I asked for "any" hats and worked into March the next year to have them presentable.Hi Art. Does this apply to straw hats as well? Both incoming and outgoing?
Thank you Art. I can just imagine...Yes Sir, as long as I don''t have to work on it we are good. The first couple of years I asked for "any" hats and worked into March the next year to have them presentable.

Last week I flew down to Medford, Oregon to pick up my and my daughters Milan hats from @Art Fawcett whom I now refer to as "The Felt Whisperer" but more accurrately should be called "The Hat Whisperer". I spent two days (July 25 & 26) in the shop talking hats and "feeling the felt" Art was a great host and he has an amazing shop with many different hat tools that he has collected over the course of 27+ years collecting.
While on my trip I also had the pleasure of talking with another lounger @hatsR Charlie is was nice talking with you.
@FedOregon I had the opportunity to see your Cuenca hat body up close. Very nice! I wish I had the forethought to send you some cash and pick up one for me while you were in Ecuador. I envy your trip Doug!
Art, I can't thank you enough for allowing me to hang out with you for two days. Hopefully I didn't slow down your production too much nor wear out my welcome. Would be an honor to visit again at some point in the future.
Without further delay, the HATS! Disclaimer: I am not a photographer so I apologize for the poor picture quality.
