Art's work is AMAZING!

I got this last night, and now's my first chance to post pictures:

Obviously, it's not creased yet, as I'm still playing with it trying to decide what to do.

The specs on the hat are:
Mojave dress weight, rust ribbon.
Crown: 5 1/2"
Brim: 2 3/4 "
Ribbon: 1 9/16"

Wow great hat.....

what color is the ribbon, hard to see on my puter....


Art does some great work, cant wait for mine to arrive.....

 

[handlebar bart]

Oh wow I like that hat. After a crease that hat is going to look amazing. I like everything about that one.:eusa_clap I have to agree about the ribbon especially. I'm goin back to look at that one again

Ok I looked again. Still great looking.

 

[rbbrock]

Thanks guys, Art really does great work!

It's rust, and it's a wonderful color. The color scheme for this hat was inspired by Joel Tunnah (see page 4 of this thread).

Phil,

Art made me a beauty in Whiskey. It is a great color and it really works IMO. I LOVE this hat and any day now I expect to hear from Art his sibling is ready to ship.

Art has really done some nice work here lately, but I just have to say Scott that yours really caught my eye. Congrats on a truly beautiful lid my friend.

:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Congrats, rbbrock--that one's a stunner! I love Art's Mojave color.

 

[BobC]

That's a beauty, RB. There have been a couple of mojave hats posted here lately. I really like the color. I'm planning a work of Art for the near future. That color will definitely get serious consideration.

 

[GreyHat]

I know there are always questions about felt colors etc and I received a couple of PM's about Art's Moss Green looking darker and more brown on his felt strip sample card. If your monitor is calibrated (and if it isn't it should be) these shots will give you an accurate representation of what Moss Green looks like in person. Shot in natural light and color corrected to a gray card used in first shot.......

Moss Green Trackside:

So, what are the colors of the three hats? Steel, granite, and moss?

 

[AlanC]

^I believe only the moss was made by Art.

Something new and never before seen from Art

This thread has been quiet for too long! Art's wait list is not getting any shorter, so where are all these hats going???? I just posted this one in its own thread, but wanted to post it here for prosperity

Art really outdid himself with the bow treatment. He really came up with something unique! He also did something cool with the brim. It's 2.25" in the front, but only 2" in the back.

Serendipitously, even the snap of the brim ended up unique. When I put it on, I reached up with my right hand to snap down the brim and it natually fell into the side-snap/swoop you see - with the right side snapped down and the left side left up. Art says this was not on purpose, but the hat just wanted to be this way. I think it plays into the jazzy, hip, unique look that I wanted and I intend to leave it that way.

In case you were wonder, the "never before seen" part of this hat is the purple liner. I was after Art like crazy to get me a purple liner and I believe this the first one he's made.

Sharp looking lid, and that purple liner..................wow that is a great shade

 

[univibe88]

that is a great shade

Thanks. I was a bit worried about how the purple would come out, as it can be a finicky color. It can easily be too blue, too lavender, etc. But I am thrilled with the color.

 

[carldelo]

Yep

That purple is really nice - I think it would look good in a granite or light gray hat as well.

 

[HungaryTom]

Hey, it seems that a painter is lost in Art! That Cobalt violet bow background is sticking out from the ultramarine-violet (almost black) background!!! I am really impressed. The lining is a beauty as well.

 

[GreyHat]

beautiful hat univibe88
the purple on the black looks simply amazing
and that liner is incredible

That is a really sharp looking lid. That camel colored beaver sure has a shimmer to it. Really classy with the ribbon choice as well:eusa_clap

 

[Boxerken]

Not sure what happened with the 3rd photo but I'll try again

 

[univibe88]

It looks great! :eusa_clap
