VS by Art Fawcett, whiskey color, beaver felt

[Blackthorn]

I have wrestled for more than a year about selling this one. I love the beautiful color and the fit, but it never gets worn any more. I have too many others to wear and only one head, so I'm finally going to make the break with this one, if it sells. If not, I'll take that as a sign that it's mine for life. It's in excellent condition and measures 23 1/4 inches in circumference. $300 includes economy shipping for CONUS, more if you want Priority Mail.

That is a beautiful hat, and right when I told myself I'd never buy another one! When I get a box delivered the mailman asks me "Is this another hat?".

 

[Blackthorn]

Better grab it at this price!

 

[Blackthorn]

Giving this a Monday bump.

 

[Geldoc]

What's the brim size? Thanks.

 

[Blackthorn]

What's the brim size? Thanks.

2 5/8 inches, Geldoc, thanks for asking.

 

[Banky]

dangerously tempting...Is it raw brim, Blackthorn?

 

[Blackthorn]

Yes it is, Banky.

I may be coming into some win fall cash here in the next day or two. If someone else doesn't scoop it up by then, We'll be in touch.

Sounds great, Banky. I'm getting a lot of interest, just FYI. But so far it's still available.

After 8 days of being for sale, I am withdrawing it from the market. I wrestled for a long time with whether to sell it or not, and now I feel good about keeping it. I'll just make sure to wear it more, get more use out of it. This is the prettiest hat color in the world, with a felt better than any vintage hat, made by one of the very best hatmakers in the world. I must have been crazy to think of selling it.

It's a great hat, Blackthorn! Good for you on keeping it. The pics you've posted in the past of yours are one of the reasons I ordered one from Art awhile back (see my avatar).

Excellent, Kyle! GREAT looking lid! What style is that? I may have to order another now...

I would have loved it, but I started vacation with no hats, now have a Biltmore Montreal Monticristo, a 40's vintage Open road, and a 50's vintage Adam in unworn condition. Oh yeah, and I bought a new watch. I was out of room before, but that sure was a beauty!

a hair too big for my head and wallet, but what a beautiful hat!
