Hello & Happy Holidays FL Folks
I dont post much.
but today i recieved a very special early xmas gift to myself. It was better than having santa deliver. Mr Fawcett personally delivered to me at my home in Antioch CA. a beautiful chocolate milan with the nicest ribbon i have ever seen, When he asked me what i want in for the ribbon I told him Go for it & Im glad i did. I have been wearing hats for over 30 + years mostly vintage & this is a supreme quality Lid.... made with Top Notch Old School Talent ! a work of ART ! Yea i know its smack dab winter & cold as heck for a milan. But i know what i want & Mr. Fawcett is the way to go for me. I comissioned a Art-Lite today & with me asking can you do this & that ?... Not Necessary Just tell the man want you want & he will do it because he can ! any way i had a good time & good hat talk. He is good people !
& i cant figure out how to post a couple of pics. I will as soon as i learn how....
My thanks to Art for all he has done to inspire me & the fine folks here... Merry Christmas to All !

Sorry for the bad pic. I am not ashamed to say i cant figure out how to post pics...

right click on mouse over the photo, click on properties, and highlight address, unfortunately your photo is too small. Once you copy the url click the photo icon where you post, and go to url. Uncheck the box, insert url address and their you go.

Whoa! Brando what a lid! That colour combo is something else and the high crown and centre dent are just the bee's knees. Stunner is right!

Thanks so much, Benny- I am REALLY pleased with it! I wore it out last night with a black leather jacket and got plenty of admiring looks, several compliments and one lovely young lass actually reach up and adjust the swoop. That's worth the price of admission right there!
