    Black Sheep Hat Works

    After a nearly 3 year wait, my Black Sheep Hat Works hat has finally arrived. My new favorite hat.

    Post New Hats Here!

    I haven't posted in FOREVER, but thought this was an appropriate occasion. I've been growing out my hair, head and facial, since the last time I posted. None of my other hats fit anymore, or look right on me, thanks to the long hair. I visited Jaxonbilt Hat Company last fall. Had a great...

    Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt

    I chose the light-colored, lightweight in large part because I would much rather well a felt hat than a Panama, as long as it's not too hot. In the sun on a hot day, I have no problem at all with it. It's perfect.

    Show Us Your Dark Side - Shadow and Silhouette Portraits

    Thank you, gents! My son was getting pretty annoyed by me making him retake the picture a number of times. He kept framing the photo wrong. Persistence won the day!

    Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt

    Hi, I've been intending to post here again, but kept forgetting. I went with a silverbelly lightweight, same dimensions as my oxblood dressweight (2.5" brim, 6 " crown), and it's an amazing hat! There is a startlingly HUGE difference in the thickness of the felt. The feel is much different. I...

    Fedoras afield

    That's fellas. It's a rare moment that I'm not the one taking the photograph. I think the boy did well, considering what he had to work with.

    Fedoras afield

    Backpacking with my son and his dog in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This is where and how I prefer to wear my Vintage Silhouette hats.

    Happy to oblige, on both counts. ;)

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    After eight years of wearing fedoras, I've finally realized that I need at least a six inch crown to give me the room necessary for a diamond crease. It's definitely my favorite now.

    Since I didn't make it, it frees me up to say...you are right on the money! :cheers1:

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thank you. I should rephrase that. I definitely don't hate headless hat shots. I just prefer heads under them for perspective.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I completely agree. Despite having to see myself, I just love this hat's side profile. By the way, I absolutely HATE taking and posting pics of myself like that, but I hate headless hat shots even more! ;)

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thanks. There's a few ways to post pics. I just uploaded those to photobucket.com and then copy and pasted the links here. Hope to see that hat soon! So do I! It's 6" open crowned. With its diamond crease, it's about 4 1/4", measured from the inside and eyeballing it to the brim.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    The lightweight felt really is incredible. After literally wearing my dressweight oxblood every single day but one since it arrived, the lightweight felt almost feels fragile. It's shockingly light, thin, and soft. Never felt anything like it before. Makes me want another one! My son loves it...

    Photo bombed by my son's lab, Trigger. Perfect way to store the tickets before the game.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Just got home from an incredible long work day. Knowing since ten this morning that my second VS hat had arrived. This one's a silverbelly lightweight felt with a 6" crown, 4 ligne ribbon and a 2 1/2" bound brim. I took some pictures, but they're not very sharp so pics will have to wait. My...

    Hat preference?

    A fedora with a 6" (when open) crown and a 2 1/2" brim.

    Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt

    Well, I would say most of us buying Art's hats are at least to some degree perfectionists, when it comes to hats. Thanks for your input. If you don't mind me beating a dead horse, how wide is the brim?
