This is a question best answered by Art Fawcett himself. It is fall and that gifting time is just around the corner. Wee all have to be patient.

As per Carter, Art Fawcett is the man to ask if you want to know for sure, but the last I heard it was 14 weeks.

On a happier note, I got an e-mail from Art today and it seems my name is up in his que. I quickly called him as soon as I saw the e-mail and found his number on his site. He wanted to discuss my hat obviously. I told him I want a granite Sportaire with a wide brim binding and left everything else up to him. Hopefully by the end of next week my waiting will be over and I'll be "sporting" a VS Custom Sportaire. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Türelem rózsát terem.
Patience yields a rose.
English analogy: Good things come to those who wait.

In other words:

Wait.:)

That's sounds exciting. For a while now, I've been thinking my next hat from Art will be in granite. Whenever I decide is the time to get it I suppose. Do post pics when you get it, Bob.

I talked to Art on Sunday when my name came up in the queue, hopefully he'll be asking me for a PayPal deposit in the next several days.

I am in there somewhere. I just know when I sent in my order but never asked how long it was going to be. I am starting to break out in hives from anticipation. Oh well, more lotion.....lol :eek: lol

In the queue

Art told me 12-14 weeks. He sent me the weird measuring doodad, I fitted it and sent it back, and now all I have to do is sit back and wait, and contemplate what I'll be going for. I think perhaps the HST. Love the look of that hat. Although I'm not really one for a bound edge. Still, I intend to leave it in his hands.
