The "Dad" by Art Fawcett

Hi,

I am a new member and this is the first fedora I ordered after a lot of research using this forum.

Since people have been naming hats, I am calling this one the "Dad". I want to start wearing fedoras as a sort of thread to tie my son's childhood memories of me together with something I could pass on to him.

I wanted a hat that was friendly and not too formal since I don't wear suits much. It is a Mojave (I think dress weight) felt hat with a tear drop crease and a navy blue ribbon.

Art was great to deal with and very helpful with my many questions and concerns.

I would also like to thank everyone for all that I have learned here. This forum saved me a lot of grief and money.

Animator,
I hope you continue to take pictures of your son in the "Dad" for years to come. It'll be a nice chronicle for you both.
Another fine creation by Mr. Fawcett and you both wear it well.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing. :eusa_clap

You BOTH look great in that lid!

And that's a really nice idea to tie memories with something unique and tangible you can pass along.

Animator;

Great looking hat, great idea, adorable offspring and hope to hear more from you.

I really miss my Dad and if he were still with us, you betcha he would have one of Art's hats on his head.
