Well I talked with Art today and I am in que. I have decided on an Adam's Majestic clone in either Powder Blue or Silver Mist. Discovered today that Silver Mist is a special order so Art has to get it. If the wait for the felt is too long then I will go with the powder blue. I did ask Art to make the brim 2 3/4 inches. Looking forward to it. The link below in Art's Ribbons post 19 second hat is the model for my hat.

You'll love that one. It was my first VS and I always get great comments on it. The two buttons is really different.

Here is my Sunset, dark green ribbon and lining. Pictures can't do the colors justice.

And my Silver Mist, purple ribbon and lining

I am really liking that one!

Splendid hats, Rat Pack. Great to see another Sunset!

Exquisite! The depth and complexity of that color is fantastic; how it can range so much in different light!

Tomorrows the day for my first VS! I feel like a kid at christmas!!!

My conformer is on the way! Every time I look at this thread, I get another great idea. There are just so many beautiful hats here...I should probably stop looking, or I might never decide. At the moment, I have it narrowed down to two choices...silverbelly with a blue ribbon, or black cherry. The decision may involve a coin...

You see, that's the rub and the reason you can't just get one. Today I heard the kiddos say, "Another hat Daddy, really?" as I opened the VS box with my new black cherry. Woohoo. Will post pics tomorrow.

Nice, I am interested in the pictures and your impression of the color.

 

[Rat Pack]

I'd like some pics too. I'm in the queue for my black cherry.

 

[Jabos]

Here she is, the beautiful black cherry. I love this color!

Bart, the color is amazing isn't it? It is such a beautiful, dark shade. The flash makes the top two photos brighter than the hat looks in "real life". Tried to catch some outdoor shots but I ran out of sunlight. I will try to get some more "artsy" shots when I have more time.

BobC, MarkD, and GTDean all helped me kick around some ideas for a thinner ribbon to make the hat a little less formal, and I thank you guys for the ideas. Art suggested going with a dark grey or black accent when we spoke and I love what he did. This is now my favorite hat, hands down!!!!!

 

[BobC]

Nice lid, Jabos. It has kind of a Sportaire look to it. The color is great and the thinner ribbon works really well. Congrats!

Wow, I am really lovin it. I have to tell you I really like it with the thinner ribbon. An amazing end result that started with a color that is my favorite by far. Enjoy
