Hope to do a video on making the VS Milan's and put it up on the On Block as soon as Art finishes up the move into the new shop.

I'm rea;;y revved cause I'm almost next in line for a Dove Artlite and am already back in line for a Milan... Waiting is painful...

 

[Brad Bowers]

Thanks for the update, Art, that's great to know. I could use another Milan so I may call you one of these days.

The video of the last shop that we had on the website had a video and comment on the sewing machine but nothing on my actually sewing. It's sort of hard to sew and tape at the same time so I've avoided it. Now that the new shop is starting to come together I will try to do a better job of that. Ed, get ready!!

 

[Art Fawcett]

That'd be great Brad. It's a long way from 10 yrs ago when the Lounge was new, eh?

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Ed, get ready!!

I am always ready

Some of the hats from my collection (one dress hat and one black Real Nutria Fur thrown in the mix) to illustrate some of the colors of Stetson clear nutria.

I'm glad you like these Harv... spend some time on the pre-1940s Stetson threads (dress and western). It is filled with incredible hats.
