Great hat, Gambit. Art does amazing work!

Here's some more pics to try to capture the color and details of the ribbon work better in different lighting, which seemed to be hard to get well on camera.

 

[Dannny Boy]

Awesome ribbon, Gambit.

Mr Fawcett, I am interested in aquiring an undyed silverbelly hat.
Do you have or can you get those bodies?

 

[jlee562]

Art has the natural felt which is undyed, but not silverbelly. AFAIK, the only company offering undyed silverbelly is Optimo, aside from a vintage hat obviously.

Art has Natural which is undyed beaver fur felt.
This is not the pure beaver belly fur felt bodies that Winchester Hat Factory has produced.
Those were special runs by Winchester for a hatter that supplied the beaver pelts if I am not mistaken.

Here is what Art offers for felts & colors = http://www.vintagesilhouettes.com/Fur_Info.htm
