Rarely worn, selling to help finance a new hobby. I am a collector, particular in what I purchase and meticulous in each hat's care (as new Optimo hatbox $35 value included). This was one of Art's prototypes where he added a black underbrim material to the otherwise wine colored fedora. There are small "bubbles" in that black fabric that appear if the brim is turned down; this is how I received it new. They are unseen when worn, and even in my photos are hard to discern. 2 1/4" brim size with great color and ribbon-work, just what you'd expect an Art Fawcett hat to look like. I own several high-end ($750-$800) Optimo fedoras and this hat gets as many compliments. I just yesterday got out of the hospital after a lengthy stay, having planned to list this on Ebay. Figured I toss it back on The Lounge as a Make Offer first; it's in like-new condition, an Art Fawcett fedora that I purchased new. Here or there I'm sure I'll find an interested party to complete the sale. I won't sell something I would not buy myself, but let the photos speak for themselves. Steve
