Resurrection of the Stetson Musketeer!

[Sam Craig]

Wow, I mean ... WOW!

He really knocked that one out of the Park!

I sure hope it's like a size 7 or something so I don't have to tinge my soul with envy!

What a hat!

If it's a 7, I'm in trouble. Really though, nice hat. I like the collaboration.

Be careful Art. Do you really want to do that many 3 stitch rows??? (Excellent job by the way)

FANTASTIC !!! I can see I need to get back into the que..

Kudo's to both of you, for coming up with the idea and certainly to Art for making it come true......

now that you mention it Buler.. uggg
It was actually easier than sewing 3 different ribbons together and having it come out close to right

Thank Gents, this thread is a real ego booster..

Hi

What are the crown and brim dimensions on the Musketeer? Love how that looks and I always wanted to be D'Artagnan, besides I haven't bought an Art or a Tony B yet.

Later Y'all

This particular Open Road that Art converted has a 2 7/8ths brim and about a 5 3/4in crown. It worked well in getting the 3 rows of stitching on the brim and still keep the proportions looking right.

That is a marvelous hat and a killer 'stache to boot. Good combo!

Need to post this one in the Art Fawcett HOF so we keep all these beauties in one place.

 

[Old Rogue]

Beautiful hat!!!

 

[danofarlington]

And one on my head.

Good hat on you.

 

[bolthead]

Amazing! Now I'm mad that I don't have one.

+1, exactly.

Oh damn! Now you've got me thinking (always a dangerous activity!).

Thanks, some friends have called in it the "Monopoly Man" stache.

This has turned out to be a great conversion. I have so many thin ribbon fedora's and I just picked up that Borsalino in N. Carolina for another addition. So it was nice to change one into something a little more unique. This particular one, with it's wide brim and high crown really lent itself to the Musketeer model.

I take one look at that hat and two things immediately cross my mind: first, that's an unusually nice hat, and would stand out as such even in a crowd of unusually nice hats; and second, there's a whole lot to get right in crafting such a thing. I wouldn't recommend anyone try making one of those until he gets a whole lot of hat-crafting under his belt first.

Good grief I am amazed .... Art even got it right down to the little bump in the side dent from the add ... The quality of Arts hats are second to none and no one truly appreciates it until the hold one ... But to so exactly replicate from a 2 demential photo (although I beloved he has a vast hat collection so he might actually have one of these in his possession) it is truly an amazement!!


Great hat ... And Art keep up the great work!!!

I should have shown this pic in the first post to show what the hat looked like before Art converted it.

before: Just a regular 3X Stetson Open Road

after: A not so ordinary Stetson
