My Art Fawcett Custom #3

undertaker

Practically Family
I got this one in the mail yesterday from Art.

Specs: 5 3/4 Crown
2 3/4 Brim
Color - Blue Smoke
Ribbon - Slate Blue (wider than my others)

All of that equals one swell looking hat. The first two are great, but this one is really wonderful. I chose the center dent with the taller crown and wider ribbon because it was very different from my others. To begin with I wasn't sure that I would like it, but I have worn it all day today and recieved so many compliments. I have a couple of vintage Stetson St. Regis homburgs and my wife sayes the brims look "funny" on me. This one looks alot like a homburg but with a regular brim and she even likes it so I must have a winner here. Thank you Art for your wonderful work again!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap I am already thinking about #4;) . Please let me know what you all think.

Regards,
J.S.

This hat looks much better than a St.Regis. I love that crown!! You look fantastic J.S. It looks like you could put a serious reverse taper in that crown.

if you are already tired of one of the "old" ones...go away and send it to me...I'll manage to wear it some how...

that suit and hats are an outstanding statement....

it doesn't matter if you're out standing at a funeral or a pulpit or out standing on the corner of a street....that suit/hat makes a statement...a very good one !!!

Very sharp! High crowns are fun to work with and make a statement. The wide ribbon looks good, especially on a high crown. Congrats!

The words elegant, classy, dignified, luxurious come to mind. We should call you Duke, as your stunning attire lends itself towards nobility. Quite dapper, very gentleman like. Congratulations :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

The hat fits your bone structure and facial features quite well. Excellent choice of colors and style. Exactly what we mean when we say a hat "matches" a suit.:eusa_clap

That hat really suits you well. Better than a regular homburg would, I think. And that Blue Smoke is a beautiful color. My #3 is also that color. You have wonderful taste, my friend... and a master hatter! :eusa_clap
