Wow, that´s truly something else! How wide is the brim on that Playboy? Aren´t the Art-Lite felts sold out?

GT, that is a great looking hat. I have almost the same hat on order from Art. Lightweight Granite, vent holes, about the same width ribbon and a removable liner. Only difference in mine is I asked for a 2 3/4" bound brim. I'm normally a thin ribbon guy so this will be my first venture into the wider ribbon world.

Che, that is a really beautiful hat! I know you like wearing your brim up but that one really looks great on you with the brim down.

Nice looking plate of fajitas too! We grilled a bunch of fajitas Saturday and made menudo for Sunday tambien.

Thanks Mike. My other VS ArtLite Wanderers are 2 3/4" bound brims & this mid-ribbon is as wide as I go....

You're welcome. I like the width of the ribbon on yours. How wide is it? I asked Art to keep mine an inch or under. In the pictures yours looks to me like 3/4" to 1" maybe.

3/4" = typical Playboy width. Here is my inspiration, vents & all...

Hi Frank,
Winchester surprised me by sending 6 of these bodies for my approval. Boy, do I approve!! I have only two left Gents but with a promise from Winchester to continue making them for me.

... but with a promise from Winchester to continue making them for me.

Now that is GREAT news!

Great hat Tom and good job Art.
I am very fond of that ribbon width.

Thanks Cuz. Your Buckaroo Beaver Brown nudge me quite a bit on this one...
REALLY like this Granite color. It is not as blue as Moonstone from Akubra & not as dark as my Jay Lord Hatters TAR.
Plus the edges on those 2 are bound. Not sure why my wife says they all look the same when they are obviously so different....

Why can I not get this pic as big as the original??

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Because the forum software reduces it. If you look at the image with a smartphone you will see the full size image. If you use the mobile version of the forum.
