For Sale - CLASSIC VINTAGE SILHOUETTE Ltd Edition Route 66

[mingoslim]

I do not think I have to tell you how great the hats made by Art Fawcett are . . .

This is a classic, limited edition, produced by Mr. Fawcett a few years back. Size 7 1/2. He did a series of Route 66 Fedoras . . . Distinctive style.

I loved it when I got it, and it has been worn, though as you can see it is in excellent condition . . . The problem, I do nto wear it enough (and I need to thin down the herd, and rasie a little money).

The cost - $200 including the VS Hat box with shipping included in the CONUS. If you do not want the VS hat box, I will make it $180. (I can always use the extra hat box.)

Very nice indeed. Whats's the circumference around the sweat band? Thanks.

Right about 60cm . . . perhaps 59.75 cm as it is. As noted, it is not getting worn much of late.

Very beautiful hat. How wide is the brim and how tall is the open crown? Thanks.

Very beautiful hat. How wide is the brim and how tall is the open crown? Thanks.

Sorry I missed your note the other day! I should have been paying more attention . . .
To answer your question: the brim comes in at 2 5/8 inch, and the crown is 6 inches tall unblocked . . .
Anything else you want to know, let me know. I promise to pay more attention . . .

A bit large for me or I'd be tempted. Great price for an excellent hat!

One of our sharpeyed members noted that it looks like there may be a stain on the front part of the bow. (I sincerely offer my thanks to Jeff for noticing . . . I always want to be upfront).


At first I though it must be a photo glitch or shadow, but I got out the hat, and there is a small spot on the bow. I had never noticed it. It is hard to see if you are not looking for it, and I am going to gently see if it will clean (looks like it might). Apologies for not noting it before.

If you are interested in the hat, I will let you know if it comes out. Even if it doesn't, I don't think you would be disappointed with this hat
