Art surprises

[Art Fawcett]

Thank you

Thanks for the kind words Gents & Ladies..(hiya KD..how are ya?). Also, thanks for posting this Animator..
Big Guy, this is "Natural" color..really pretty versatile and a good summer color.
Brad & Stoney, thank you for your comments about the welt. NB, the reason you haven't seen one of my hats welted is because this is the first one I've tackled. I cant tell you how many bullets were sweated over this hat. or how many tries..BUT..it's about the learning curve and this hat taught me quite a bit. Contrary to the comments guys, this is far from perfect but I'm working on it.

Art does welts!?

That looks awesome....say Art how do you feel about underwelts pressed to look like a cavanagh edge?

...seriously...

Hey Art - you said the color is "natural" ... has it been dyed or is this the real color of the fur? There seems to be a lot of depth and texture to the color. Natural has become my favorite color. I'm really enjoying this hat.

On the underside of the brim, there is a single line of stitching. It looks really nice, and I think an "underwelt" would make a fantastic brim finish also because that would end up on top. Maybe it is just because Art did such a nice job on the welt, but I really like the way it looks as an overwelt and think it adds a ton of personality to the hat. My next hat will definately be another overwelt.

Here are a couple of pictures of the hat in use

nice looking hat! nice looking chair, also, similar to a herman miller aeron.

what is the brim width?

 

[animator]

I think the brim as around 2 1/2 inches... Maybe Art can specify

The chair is an Allsteel #19. I prefer it to the Aeron and mentioned it earlier so I thought I'd show it wearing the hat.

slick lid

the hat looks better with every picture I see....If i had the money right now I would call Art tomorrow! alas, it will be a few months before I have the scratch to afford one of his masterpeices. Also I have to convince my fiance it's more important than paying for something having to do with the wedding.


great pics!

Just say its to be worn at the wedding or honeymoon!

 

[MississippiLong]

i like it!

Indycop...Good IDEA!! I'll have to work on it.

Oh man, am I tempted...what a fantastic hat. Looks great on you, but it also looks like it *should* be my hat. I thought I could put off the custom-made stuff for a while. Why are you doing this to me?! Now I might have to enquire about cost etc. to Mr. Art.

So there are three of us in Atlanta, at least - Animator and Gabe and me. With similar taste. Have to make sure we never appear at once wearing the same hat or we will arouse suspicions about a conspiracy.

Woodfluter -Good point... we Atlanta folks should at least order hats in different colors. Hopefully more people in Atlanta will take up hat wearing.

For a hat of great quality made to your specs and fit to your head, I think Art offers a fine deal. I really enjoy my two VS hats.

I hope you don't have to buy a VS hat for the dog, too. That would get expensive!
