Today is the new to me Temple Soverign in Sage. Really nice soft hat

Fun pair of newbies showed up today. A pair of Stetson Temples that came out of the same household. ( they needed to stay together so I gave BOTH of them a new home.) Both are Soverigns and almost appear unworn. The Caribou is a really firm feel, and the Sage is really really soft finish...

Expecting sun today, so the Akubra Lightning Ridge gets to go outside

Thought a little 3x beaver stetson was the ticket for sunday morning coffee

Or just get more hats!

Avoid an emergency this morning... was out of Bloody Mary ingrediants so the Dog and I had to make a little road trip a couple towns over to resupply (Ahh the joys of living in a semi dry county lol). Took the reworked/ resized Stetson Gus along. Got back and did the yardwork with a decent...

one of my Grandfathers Champs this morning

Most of the time lol... Maybe thats why I dont have many grey hats
