Do it
Dinerman, it would be a shame to let those hats go to waste. Given that you are a student, and given that you have an impressive collection of hats, it stands to reason that you are finding things that are relative bargains. If this is the case, I would think it would be fairly easy to...
Another idea
Idea number 2:
Granite body, ribbon a little darker (but not too much darker) than the body, some accent color in the bow.
It would probably be a little more versatile than a steel hat.
A question for people, how do you think the steel would work with a darker outfit (something...
I'm still trying to get opinions on how people think it will look and possibly some suggestions as well. This is still in the development phase. So, how does it look in the minds eye of all you people out there?
Modification on idea:
Steel body fairly high crown, moderate rake, wide brim.
dark ribbon (steel,slate) bound brim
silver ribbon with a single vertical stripe of dark red in the middle of the bow knot.
Red liner
How does this sound to people?
Some contrast in the bow would be nice. I was thinking possibly something blue (although a nice, deep red would work as well), but I don't know. Is there a comprehensive list of Art's ribbons on here somewhere?
If it comes out looking half as good as the others of his that are posted on here, I will be happy. There are just so many choices. And once I have taken a look at color I will definitely send Art some pictures and hopefully I can come up with something amazing by talking to him and using people...
It begins
Well, I started the ball rolling on creating something. The conformer shipped out today and should be here early next week. Now I've got to think about what would work best both in terms of style and color. I'm thinking something with a fairly wide brim, medium height crown, and a...
Well, generally, I tend towards clothing more to the blue and grey end of the spectrum. Suits are the same way (charcoal and grey mostly). Steel was another color that I am considering. I suppose I'll have to contact Art and see what he has and what he might recommend. I really like the blue...
So, I have been considering stepping up and getting a nicer fedora and all of the works of Art that I have seen both here and on his site look beautiful. Would people here recommend getting one of these beauties? What I am considering is either the limited edition Rt66 or HST or getting...
tonyb,
I would say that people definitely are looking at you differently because of the hat. And it's not a bad thing. Just smile back and realize that they are looking at you because you look better than all the people around you without hats.
Wear it with pride.

I have a hat that I may be looking to sell, and am wondering as to an approximate value. It's a Stetson Playboy (II?) in very good condition. It is a brown leather sweatband (indicating probably late 60's?) with almost all of the gold still intact. Made in Canada. Genuine Leather. and Henri...
