Already muggy this morning. Hats in the Belfry panama

I see I need to deal with a salt deposit on the ribbon.

Not quite as hot this afternoon as yesterday, but hot. Will probably be in shorts for my bike ride...
I remember finding a few ads for them and a couple of stories in the Hatter's magazines on Google books. Don't remember much about the details though.
Thanks Red. It's a good hat for a sunny day with the big flat brim.
Thanks Max. I like colors. And hats.
Haven't seen the Bone Lord in...
A bit more muggy this morning, but cool still. Back into the 90s today though, so it's this unlabeled palm straw that gets the nod.

It's feeling like a lazy, hazy week here.

Another gem, Dale. I think I have one that has that almost coppery brown. They really used to work some wonders with dyes.
Nice find. The paintings are great.
I found these two the other day.

The red and yellow one is rather unusual in that it is...
It seems to be a well made hat. It's another one of those that is in such a nice interior condition that I'm sort of afraid to wear it.
I picked up this felt cap number the other day. It's what I always call, to myself at least, a bicycling beanie. Made by Gap in China of 100% wool felt...
I will look forward to seeing and hearing more about it.
Yes, I like the lines of this one. I have no real idea of the age, but the lines and dimensions suggest something more like the 30s than the 50s. I don't know when Gordon and Ferguson quit making hats, but I believe they started shortly...
Thanks Stefan. I think the Melvin probably worked better with the weight of the suit, but there was something about the Lords hat that I liked.
A topper and a little coat repair. I passed on a local topper that fit me like a glove and came from a shop in Edinburgh. The address of the shop was...
Gordon Feature Felt on a lovely morning.

The derby probably is the better fit and closer to the same age as the clothes. I passed on what was probably my only opportunity to get a mint condition topper here. Still kick myself.
You'll find one eventually Joao.
Super look D. That jacket looks like it's a dandy, and the hat, of course...
Finally a morning cool enough to make me want a jacket for my morning coffee in the yard.

Mid Western Sport Togs deerskin half belt blazer served the purpose.

And wearing a jacket even.

Have a great Saturday,
Michael
Thanks D. Hard to beat a nice hat and a silk suit on a warm summer day. I don't know how Zegna did it, but that jacket feels like it has an air conditioner built into it.
Thanks,
Michael
No, it got too warm after an hour or two today. It will come out sometime this autumn. I'm not sure how old the coat is. It was made or sold by Lockley in London. A lot of handwork is apparent in it. The silk grosgrain lapels need replacement, but the wool is in very good shape.
You're...
Thanks Red. i have these in dark navy and black. The colors do rather lessen the efficacy in the sunshine, but they are good on a hot evening.
Still loving the New Slant. I need one of those to pop up around here.
Tell your wife Thanks. Enjoy the trip to Acapulco. You should be well hatted...
I continue to play around with hats and clothes this morning. A different Biltmore Milan homburg
