VS Oxblood, you asked; here it is.

[Cane Rod Maker]

A few months back a fellow Lounger and I got what we believe are/were the first 2 Oxbloods produced out of Art's new felt offering.

I asked Art for mien to be open crown.

[up-dated information; as is, the measurement to the top of the pinch is 5 inches, and as I look beyond into that popped up center, it's near 6 inches tall. The hat rakes back and measures 3-7/8inches at the rear. The Brim is 2 1/2 inches.]

It took me forever last night and about a hundred fifty shots during which, to get proper lighting, and camara settings; but I think I pulled it off in the wee hours this morning with a tripod and very slow shutter speed.

Enjoy!

Absolutely phenomenal hat! Your pictures really capture the beauty of the felt and the craftsmanship. The tri-color knot is the perfect touch; Art seems to have out-done himself - for now!:eusa_clap

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Cheers,

Here's how cool my wife is: I just showed her these pics and she loved the hat so much that it looks like I'll be getting one for my birthday at the end of September.lol One condition though: I cannot buy another hat till then. :eusa_doh:

So, Cane---would you be willing to share those specs with me? I suppose I could call Art too.

Anyway, I'm psyched!

Hmmm. No PM yet. Did you send it?

Great shots! Thanks for taking the time to make those pics. And well done on the bash - thats original :eusa_clap

 

[VitaminG]

wow, very sharp. Love that tricolour knot.

I'm starting to enjoy hat pron as much as I enjoy guitar pron

 

[RBH]

Great job!!!!!

 

[fluteplayer07]

Amazing! I love that crease, too! And the picture quality is fantastic--you really nailed it.

This is one of the most beautiful hats I've seen in my 6 months of experience with hats. That is also the most striking color I've seen in a hat. I actually just made it my wallpaper/background on my computer. You've got yourself a great lid.

Once I find a job, and generate a bit of disposable income, I think I'll ask Art about a hat in Oxblood (I like red, if you haven't noticed by my avatar).

Thank you for sharing these pics. I got my first hat about 6 weeks ago, and with these pics, I'm already considering a VS.

Great hat. Amazing crease. Really good pics.
I am continually dumbfounded how changeable the Oxblood felt is.

 

[bolthead]

Great job!!!!!

Ditto, both you & Art. :eusa_clap

 

[jbucklin]

Tim, could you post a pic with you wearing that awesome lid? It's easier to get an idea of a hat's proportions when it's atop one's noggin.

 

[SpeedRcrX]

A truly beautiful hat, congrats!! :eusa_clap

You also took great photos

Very classy.

 

[ScionPI2005]

Those are great! Thanks for posting them. I love that color, and the contrast of the ribbon with the red in the bow!

 

[Cane Rod Maker]

No problem...

I will certainly do that for you later tonight. It's actually the hat which I threw on this morning with a Maroon Shirt. So I am picture ready when I get home. I'll PM you later when I do it.

I wanted to do it the other night; but by the time I finally wrapped up getting these photos, I was spent....

Shot with the lid on....

JB here are a few photos of me with the lid on. Hope it helps you decide.
Quick shots, surely color loss in the hat.
