Here I am in the last hat I will probably buy from Byrnie Utz in Seattle: a Borsalino Alessandria. The brim is on the stingier side at 2”. Gorgeous felt and comfortable to wear. I’m ready for cooler temperatures so I can take it for a stroll.
Thanks for sharing those pics! I bought my last hat from Byrnie Utz last week (Borsalino stingy brim) which will gain head time as the weather turns cooler. Hopefully someone will be able to reopen the store. Such a loss....
It’s hot in the Pacific Northwest right now, especially with scarce air conditioning. Nothing like a chilled white wine to take the edge off. Here’s a bottle with my Stetson hemp straw. Taken on an enjoyable Saturday evening.

I’ll be there at least one last time. I wish I had visited them more often, although I know that wouldn’t have stopped the forces of business and “growth “ that are now forcing them to close.

Thanks Redfokker! I actually found one like it at a store here in Seattle, although they didn’t have my size. I ordered this one from Stetson’s website.
Here’s a few more pictures of it:
