Hello Art,
What's to become of the blocks on hand?
Be good to yourself.

To clarify I was inquiring about clients blocks.

Everything is being sold as units Tom. I am negotiating for everything as a whole. I do have some good news though. David and I have reached an agreement that allows VS to live on. He is taking over the name, files, and client band blocks. He also is planning on staying at my current address so very little will change other than my leaving. I'll try to keep everyone posted.

I was lucky enough to get an order in from Art a couple of weeks before he closed orders. I got my dad one for his birthday and decided that I finally had to get one for myself before it was too late. This is what resulted. The felt is chocolate brown 100% beaver and the ribbon is a thin copper one as I don't go for the traditiona fedora look and prefer a more Western vibe, even for a hat like this one. This is my first dress weight hat and my first custom measured hat and I am thrilled with it. I am amazed at how comfortable it is. The felt feels much softer and lustrous than my two western weight hats. Art and I talked and I gave him some specific guidance, but did not dictate everything to him and I think he did an incredible job of balancing what I wanted with his own magic. @Art Fawcett thank you so much for this beautiful hat. It is my favorite hat of any kind that I own and I will treasure it forever.

And now, here are too many pics:
