    Non-retro spouse.

    I am one of the lucky ones... My wife has actually bought me a couple of hats. She bought me my first Fedora 27 years ago. She has occasionally said she didn't care for what I wore with a hat, but I don't dress Retro so all I have to go on is my hats. Now days I only wear my Art Fawcett...

    Highest price paid, lowest price paid for your fedora.

    I had paid around $125 for an Akubra. I have never purchased a vintage although I looked for a while. With a 7 5/8 head the pickins were slim. The finest hat I own is an Art Fawcett custom which was worth every penny and more. I don't even look at hats, to buy, anymore. I am in line for one more...

    Campdraft Size 61

    I was really planning on getting a Campdraft so I contacted Hatsdirect a couple of days ago and asked them if the had it in Silverbelly (Sand) in size 61. I recieved a reply saying they did have it in stock. I thought about it and finally decided to get Art to make me a new hat instead. So...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Art Fawcett Stratoliner I was reminded that I haven't added the pictures of my Art Stratoliner clone. I have had it for a little over a month now. It is amazing even though my mediocre photography doesn't show it. Light weight felt in Natural color 2 5/8 brim, 5 1/2 crown [/IMG]

    Open Road Homage

    That is a great looking hat. I have an Art Stratoliner clone and it is by far my favorite style of hat. You did a great job and I think the lining looks very nice. Wear it proudly!

    Hatters favorite hat

    I would like to see their favorite hat that they wear as well. I always like to see what the experts in any area, hats to cars and everything in between, choose to use.

    Lapel pin on a hat...

    Thanks for all of the good ideas. I will try to remember to put a picture up when I get it done. Information like this is one reason I enjoy the forums.

    Lapel pin on a hat...

    I have a DC3 lapel pin with the standard lapel pin thingy on the back (forgot what it is called). Is there a good way to put that on a hat? Obviously the pin cannot stick through the hat. Would you just bend the pin down or is there a better way to do it? I have searched but haven't found the...

    BobC, I am not a fan of wider ribbons, at least I wasn't. That hat looks great. I really like the color and you put a great diamond on it. Very nice.

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    HarpPlayerGene, That is a great color. I haven't any like that before. Is it as soft as it looks. Very nice looking hat.

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    May I join? Mine isn't a Stetson, it's a Fawcett. Art made my Stratoliner clone for me earlier this month. It is Natural color in light weight felt. It is as close to the perfect hat as I will ever get. I apologize for the less than spectacular potography and the hideous hat model.

    ADHD, That is a great picture. 18 years ago my oldest daughter had a friend who wore nothing but jeans and a IJ Fedora. No shoes or shirt. They were both three at the time. You son looks very comfortable in that hat.

    Choices

    I vote for a work of Art... I just received my Stratoliner clone from Mr. Fawcett a couple of days ago. You won't be disapointed. :eusa_clap

    Post New Hats Here!

    New Art Fawcett Fedora Art built me this Stratoliner clone. It is Natural colored light weight felt with no liner. I have read what others have said about Art's hats but was not ready for what I received. It is very light, soft, supple, and fits perfectly. It was 102 outside the day I got it...

    Gray Dobbs Fedoara 7 5/8

    I have a gray Dobbs Fedora in size 7 5/8. I bought it on eBay (spent way too much) and it doesn't fit. I have a 24" head and this 7 5/8 is too large. I have tried to attach a couple of pictures but I seem to be having problems. This Dobbs has a rolled and sewn edge and is lined. It is in OK...

    Goofy little furry Stetson "Playboy"

    In 1978 my wife bought me a dark brown western hat that is "hairy" like that. In TX is was called "Grizzly". I still have the hat and had even been considering having a pro convert it to a Fedora of some sort for me. I keep it for sentimental reasons and figured if I am not going to wear it like...

    I Got The "Brim Too Wide" Blues!

    This is from someone who doesn't know diddley but I wouldn't cut it. That is a great looking hat. I would try at tighter pinch with a diamond bash before you give up. I think it looks good on you but, again, I only know what I like.
