Nickn - you opened the new fperspective of the fedora - avantgarde! Lets call this one the Space Odyssey 2009.

lol Yes, or it could be the fedora the aliens should have worn in Indiana Jones Crystal Skull...

Quite the quartet!

Could tell me the ribbon color on the pecan?

Nice. I'm definitely a fan!

Here is my newest VS hat by Art Fawcett. It is a Trackside in Steel but with a 2 1/2" brim. I also modified the crease on it a bit so it was more to my liking, it is more of a teardrop now instead of the diamond (no offense, Art!) .
In the future I may start ordering my hats from Art open crown because I love creasing hats myself. FYI, This photo was taken outdoors with a flash.

Steel! Steel! STEEL!

The steel felt and crimson ribbon make for a very striking contrast. I like it.

 

[Viper Man]

Thanks. I asked Art to choose the ribbon color. Coincidentally, I found the matching scarf the day after receiving the hat.

For those interested, I am considering photographing this hat along side my featherweight Granite. I thought it might be nice for folks to be able to see those colors side by side.

About bloody time!

I like that ribbon. Is the stripe a shale-grey?

Ha! Overall, I think it's very similar to yours. The stripe is a light grey, maybe a pearl? It's hard to tell against the burgundy ribbon. Here are some shots of both of my VS hats. The first is with a flash.

It is very similar to mine, but (on my screen, at least) the ribbon on your hat appears to have just a wee bit more red in it than on mine, but otherwise they're very similar. Except that I kept the nifty kite-diamond bash

According to my felt sample from Art it looks like the unflashed picture is closer to the true color?

Well, this is sort of odd but I think the granite with the flash indoors looks pretty true but the steel with the flash indoors isn't quite right. I'd say the Steel with flash outdoors (the first pic I posted) is closest.

The steel does photograph funny, but it is a beautiful color.

I own a granite and I agree that the indoor flash photo looks spot on.

That's the porkpie that's granite?

 

[Viper Man]

Correct.
