Okay, finally here are a couple of 'in action' shots with the Faulkner:

The Japanese term for restrained elegance is Shibui. It is really a high compliment when something is said to posess this and IMHO your hat sure does. The look of a Panama with an Optimo block is classically beautiful and this felt makes the grade.

Alan, you said you know you won't run into anybody with the same hat and my friend, you might have spoken a bit hastily.

Enjoy that great hat!

Thank you, analogist and WEEGEE.

I told Art that when people see how great this hat looks there might be a sudden surge in optimo blocked felt orders. He wasn't sure, but it may happen yet. Of course, he'd have better luck if his hat was on a better looking model.

Great ensemble

Alan,

The Faulkner is looking great - that is a thing money can buy.
You are the Southern Gentleman who wears it - that is priceless.

Very authentic, goes with yr personality.

Regards:

Tom

Thanks, Marty & Tom. You're both far too kind, although I agree with you that the hat is amazing. That's all Art, though.

So, what do you think Alan & Gents, should it go into the "Limited Editions" ?

From my newbie standpoint, I say "absolutely", but are there some unofficial criteria a hat needs to meet in order to be considered for your LE collection?

Well, the selfish side of me says 'no way--that's my hat!', but the egotistical side of me would like the satisfaction of having had a part in spawning a Limited Edition. I'm pleased that you'd even consider it.

Elegent sums up the hat in a word, but is also an understatement. What a terrific example of inspriration meeting art meeting Art! Well done and wear it in good health. :eusa_clap

It's a really great hat.

If Art makes it a limited edition, AlanC would have AFAP ( Art Fawcett Artist Proof ) 01 inspired by Alan inspired by Faulkner.
