    VS purple feather!

    I know there are not many fans of feathers here, but since ordering my first VS earlier this year I wanted to order a camel color. I also loved the purple liner which is on the Hall of Fame. I asked Art to make me a camel hat, with a blend of purple in the ribbon, to go with the purple liner...I opened the box and got a pleasant surprise! Thanks for the originality Art - not many are going to recognise the Artist though, although the "V" of VS should be recognised by the connoisseurs!

    Unfortunately, the colors have turned out blue, but they are in fact purple.

    The feather accents it well! Nice!

    Very nice! I've always liked hat feathers - I think they add a touch of individualism and flair.

    Is the lining also purple or is it blue (as it appears in the picture)? I love that color of blue and would love a hat in that color. That's a gorgeous color.

    Feather

    LR, it looks like he just stuffed the whole pheasant under the ribbon.

    Beautiful! I, too, am a great fan of feathers in hat-bands, especially with the narrower brims. It adds just the right note of "discreet flamboyance" to what can be a very minimalist hat. This hat is perfect!

    I don't dislike feathers in a hat band, but I find that most hats look better without them, if the feather even works at all. In this case, it works and it enhances the hat. Probably even better in person, seeing accurate colors. Great work, and a clever bow from Art!
