Ladies and Gentlemen: "The Tucker"...UPDATED !!!

[shoeshineboy]

So tell us Mark what is your next custom hat from Art Fawcett.??

well...right now...Art has a another Panama from Robert. Even though I haven't seen it yet, Art tells me it is a beautiful hat and PanamaBob, he has done me very well with a great summer dress hat.

Art is doing his magic right now with the blocking and added a maroon vintage ribbon.

It's like Christmas in May !!!

So that is the latest one.

IT'S A BIRTHDAY COMING UP !!!

Can you believe that "The Tucker" is about to have it second birthday ??? I have collected a few hats since then, but this has been my go to hat for all occasions...

I still get great compliments out of it...

Great looking hat, Mark. I love the name, too. :eusa_clap

Thank you for reviving this thread Mark. I have a favor to ask. I don't believe we have ever had a thread involving the longevity of the pure beaver. I could also use the feedback on how they are holding up so , since I know you wear this hat almost daily, can you take a few pics of "two years later"? Geeze, it doesn't seem that long ago that we did this one.

Art...anything for you and the fellow loungers...

Later tonight, I can get to it...post some pics...

I can say that the maintenance is low...I do brush it about every other week or so and once in awhile I steam the brim and reshape it...other than that, it is like a great looking piece of equipment that I don;t leave home without....

Hat looks great, and from what I can tell from the flickr slideshow perhaps I should get one...

 

[univibe88]

Thanks for the birthday pics. Still looking great!

Great looking hat-as usual. Does anyone have a photo of one in a Moss Green?

 

[shoeshineboy]

maybe not...there have been only a few "Tuckers" made....but Art can say better than I can...

Thanks for the update Mark, it still looks good
Nobody has asked for it in dark moss yet Ideaguy..are you the first?

 

[duggap]

I have the Tucker in Natural. It is the ultralite and is the one I am wearing in my avatar. A regular during warm weather.

 

[metropd]

Art as always makes a great hat but this one really fits you well.

 

[shoeshineboy]

The first Tucker is over four years old and still looks great....I can't believe that it has been that long already.

 

[DRB]

It's a real beauty. :eusa_clap
