I have really wanted a straw fedora as close to my Federation Deluxe Indy as possible for quite some time now... About a month back, I contacted Art Fawcett to see if he was up to the challenge. Art was more than happy to send out a conformer to measure my head for a truly custom fit, and get the order rolling.
I received the conformer in a matter of days, measured my head, and sent it back promptly...
I found this on my porch today....
Side by side with the Federation Deluxe:
The hat is beyond my expectations... :eusa_clap The straw body has a VERY nice 4-500 weave count, The fit is dead-on, and the style is EXACTLY what I wanted... I would (and WILL) do business with Art again for my next custom fedora purchase...
