VERY Nice, Johnny! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Can we get some details like brim width, felt color, ribbon color & width?
I'm spec'ing out a custom & like to see examples like these.
Love the bow treatment & the felt color!

Crossover

"Crossover" style with 3" brim, diamond crown, 3/4" ribbon, and a western style flange. Blue Smoke colour and the band looks black.

I hope all you rascals have a very guilty conscious. After reading all the recent comments I am going ahead with an order to VS customs. Boy I hope I can still get those food stamps.....:p

Thanks Johnny. Think I'm going with that Blue Smoke color as well but binding the brim & a "thinner' ribbon, like Art's HST. Your lady did very well. Like I always say about mine, her only questionable taste has to be in men!!!;)

Another one from Art arrived yesterday:

Next to an Akubra Campdraft in Glenn Grey (Akubra on the right); Art's Steel Grey has more of a blue-ish cast and is a bit lighter:

What a great hat; it fits so perfectly that it feels like I'm wearing a Kleenex on my head! The brim is 2 1/2"; color is Steel.
Thank you, Art!

You won't be sorry

duggap,

I applaud you for taking the leap and getting a hat from Art. He does amazing work,and you definitely will be thrilled!

If the food stamps run out, I am sure lots of FL members will be able to send you care packages of canned goods!!! <smile>

The only bad thing about getting a hat from Art is that you won't be able to stop with just one!

You are already addicted!

Duggap, I just read further, and it seems like you already have a nice Art collection!!!

Alan, that will be number seven, plus two panamas he blocked. I think I might ask him for his SS# so I can claim him as a dependent on my tax return.;)

VS #3

My new VS arrived on Friday. It is the Wall Street block in charcoal dress weight with a 5 3/4" crown and 2 1/2" brim. I asked Art to use the 20 ligne "graphite" ribbon that he had recently put on Stylin' LA's hat and at the last minute I asked Art if he could do something pleated on the bow. Since this was my third VS, I wanted something special. This hat is gorgeous and I was pleasantly surprised with Art's work on the ribbon. Thanks, Art! I love it and can't wait for #4!

The silver mist whatsit

You people are just a terribly bad influence on an old hat addict like myself. Every time someone posts their new VS custom, my mouth starts to water. So I pulled the trigger and ordered another hat from Art (this will make number 7). I am getting the silver mist and haven't decided on the ribbon color, although I am considering burgundy. Anyone have an opinion they would care to share as to the ribbon color for the hat.:)

Duggap--I love my navy blue ribbon. I think it would really bring out the "blues" in the silvermist. Just my opinion, though.
