I didn’t realize that the Milan’s from Art could be had in different colors. I thought they were all the wheat color.

Neither did I. I was looking all over for a navy straw, but it was only after wasting money on a Tesi Sisal that looks terrible on me due to the taper that I thought of Art and said to myself,"Can't hurt to ask."

I can dye the straw before making the hat Bill, that's how the ladies hats come in different colors.

This arrived today. 'Bout Midnight with a 2 7/8" brim and 1 1/2" light steel ribbon with an accent. The color, which is cabernet, does not photograph well on my kitchen counter. I will be wearing it this Sunday and will get some pictures in natural light. I thought this would make a good Valentine & Christmas hat. While I still think that is true I can tell it will be a "night out on the town" hat. This fedora has attitude! Love it.

I hope you like attention, Bill, that one can be spotted for miles! Nice hat!

Wow, what a show-stopper. Does the color of the accent stripe in the knot of the bow (Art's signature design) match the cabernet felt? I can't quite tell from my computer monitor.

Not a perfect match but very close.

Bill that is a gorgeous hat!
I’m always impressed by the color palettes you commission and the ribbon contrasts.
The ribbon on this one really brings it together.
I look forward to seeing it in natural light.

Thank you Bowen. That’s high praise coming from you.

Raybuntu · Feb 6, 2019

@Art Fawcett : I just read your post and wanted to wish you all the best for the future. Your felt hat was my very first hat and you also made my very first Milan straw hat and I enjoy and love them very much. I'm honored to wear my genuine VS hats every day.

Art Fawcett · Feb 6, 2019

Thank you Ray, and Thank you Bill for posting this hat. Abba, this is a derivation of my limited edition "About Midnite"

Bill you are way to kind.
I was just thinking how cool it would be if you were to do some nice photo shots of your Dress Blues, this Cabernet (kinda Scarlet) and the White Straw. All are VS Art..work and would be stunning.
Just a thought.
Thanks. Bowen

Great minds think alike. I have some thoughts...

Actually the “Dress Blues” is Esther Weis.

Rmccamey · Feb 7, 2019

Art, did you get the Conformer back and also my Twenty Five? Just checking.

I wore it to church services this morning. This very well may be the most complimented hat I’ve ever worn. It’s neck in neck with my “Dress Blues” but I really think it may have taken the lead. After all this is only the first head time its had. The tall crown, deep diamond crease, and wider brim make the proportions perfect in my mind. The light steel ribbon....it just pops. Every hat I commission from @Art Fawcett seems to leave me more in awe of his talent!
