Hey everyone! With a heavy heart I am having to part with a significant number of my hats.

This will most likely be the first of several posts. It may take me some time to get everything posted as I’m trying to decide which ones to keep and what to let go.

I’ll add more photos, details and the prices of these three hats in the replies below.

There is some very light moth damage. Felt was carefully sanded down to return it to a smooth finish. Only place it’s really noticeable is underneath the brim by the sweatband on the front

Hat number 2,

Crown-5 1/8” as creased. 5 1/2-3/4” open

I’ve had this hat a while and sent it back to Art not too long ago to have it redone. The felt on this hat has faded some. Currently it has a center dent but you can see fading where the previous crease was. This isn’t noticeable if you put back in a teardrop.

You can also see the felt is a little darker over the center of the bow where the old ribbon used to be

VS has closed their doors?

Art is retiring in December. Last I heard he was probably going to stop taking new custom orders some time next month. (I'm trying to scrounge up the cash and crossing my fingers I can still get in the queue.) Not sure if this applies to refurbishment work as well or not.

I don't think there has been any mention of closing for good. The business is for sale, but any more specifics beyond that haven't been announced yet to my knowledge. Perhaps someone who has recently received or placed an order knows more.
