Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

[Rabbit]

Thank you David! Very helpful indeed.
The greenish undertone that I mentioned is visible on the little swatch felt strip when putting it next to certain other light grey and off-white tones. It is a VERY subtle undertone, however. I'm not even sure whether others would agree with me about the existence of this hardly noticable greenish cast. lol
Anyway, the Silvermist color looks just great!

Silver Mist

Still working on the swoop. I've found it a lot easier to get the curve to hold with my underwelt Natural but this is why I got a Jiffy streamer. Top photo closest to color the rest look like Blue Smoke.

Brando - my Silvermist is a bound brim. Art had a ribbon that was almost exactly the felt colour.

Rabbit - you're most welcome

Tom D - fantastic Silvermist you have there!

Hello Gents,
This beauty came in the mail yesterday afternoon. First time post here, so I hope it goes through properly. I would also like to extend a big thank you all for the endless info and pics I've sifted through over this past year as a "lurker". Specs are 5 3/4" open crown, 2 3/8 bound brim. Blue Smoke with darker blue ribbon. Big thanks to Art as well.

First of all, "Welcome to the lounge!". Nice choice in specs and size on this one. Congrats! You have a winner!

Wow! Great, great hat- I LOVE that straight taper and tall crown, and what a perfect color combination. Outstanding!

 

[MilwBern]

Thanks Tom d, Rabbit, Johnny J, Brando

I'm really enjoying this hat----hasn't left my head in the past 3 days. The VS addiction has started. Should have some pics of a dark moss by the end of this week...

 

[DJH]

Look at that! I wasn't paying attention and missed a couple of new VS hats.

Hatto - nice Hitchhiker. I was very interested in getting one myself (still might at some point) but I went with the ArtLites instead. Looks to be a nicely styled hat. I hope you enjoy wearing it.

Benny - the Blue Smoke looks great. I really like the choice of the darker blue ribbon as well. So you have a Dark Moss on the way? I got the same colour just last week and I like it a lot.

Art is a hat making machine right now - a lot of cool new VS's appearing.

Jeez, these silver mists, silver bellies, saharas, blue smokes, and doves are all making my mouth water. great stuff.

Dunno whatchya talkin' bout.


Eager to catch a glimpse of that new Moss of yours.

 

[MilwBern]

DJH---your dark moss looks great!! I think mine went on the block yesterday, so should be here soon.

Rabbit---I was purposely avoiding ordering a hat from Art for a couple of years because I knew my addiction would be in full force. Some of your posts displaying the different color felts may have pushed me over the edge. Moss pics coming soon.

Tom; That is a darn sharp hat. Great lines and classic dimensions. The hat looks good.

Eric -

Silvermist 5.5" x 2 3/8", silver bound brim, 22 ligne black ribbon & windcord

This afternoon, the Silvermist decided to mingle with some of the other lighter-colored VS felts.
