Feels like a Three Forks Thursday

Supposed to have some nasty weather today. The talking heads on the weather channels are talking 60 mph wind, 2" hail and thunderstorms. So far just wind so I figured I need a good fitting, tough hat today.... So the Banjo Paterson in Carbon it is!

Many congratulations on the anniversary! Hoping for at least as many more

Lets do some blue hats today! This ones another ebay Sovereign Stetson. Not sure of the model because the tag removal monster got ahold of this one before it came to live with me. Nice soft hat.

Had to make a doctor appointment run up the road this morning. Managed to run into a used pipe for sale while I was in the next town over. A rusticated Peterson B42 ( I have another one of these in a sandblast finish, but I like this one way better) . On the head today is one of the Stetson...

I really didnt plan on a big hat purchase this month, but I finally ran across a nice brown Campdraft Deluxe in 59 after looking for what sees like forever. I just couldnt resist. (another one of those " probably more than I needed to spend" hats). More than I usually spend on a hat, but it was...

Jameson's Irish Whisky tonight with an Adam Premier Pacesetter

I REALLY dislike envelope shippers! Had a few of those come in here too lol

Going to be a gloomy, rainy day. Today the Akubra Coolabah gets the duty. When this one came to me it was a bit bigger brim than I liked so I trimmed it to a 2-3/4" brim. Also replaced the plain hatband with a feathered one off of a Stetson Weekender. Took the Stetson pin off and managed to...

Love a good well worn hat. Character sometimes trumps condition

Got the new-to-me Stetson Royal Temple out in the early morning light. Really is a nice brown in overcast or subdued light. Nice soft, casual hat. So far all ive done is brush some dust off ( no steam or brim work) Amazing considering the size of the flat envelope it came in.
