A very nice morning under this Brooks Brothers Genuine Cocoanut with Madras pug.

Seems to be heading toward summer around here.

Melvin Genuine Panama is the only info on the sweatband. There is a much faded ink stamp on the inside of the straw where the only thing readable is MH. I wonder if that was the stamp Melvin put on the bodies they chose for purchase. In any case, yes, I'm going to call it the Melvin. Ha ha...
Back under the Melvin Panama this morning

Haven't decided what will make the agenda today.

Have a fine day,
Michael
You could try giving the panama a quick bath in ethyl alcohol. If it is stiffened with actual shellac that should dissolve some of it out.
Thanks Stefan. Sandstone lord doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Thanks Mike. The season of summer clothes has arrived. Here at least.
I seemed to...
Dobbs Deion this morning.

Seems to be heating up out here more quickly this morning. So I will probably be in a cap if I get out bicycling and a straw when I get home...
Nice hat and nice shirt Perry. Does the hat have some peach tone to it? I have a Royal Deluxe OR that seems to have a definite peach component. I'm wondering what they called the color or if it is patina color that developed with age from that dye batch.
Thanks Matt. The Stetson Panama looks...
Marathon on a nice cool morning.

Ready for the weekend?
Michael
Thanks Metatron. I really like that jumper too. It's actually a sweater vest and is part of a set with a cardigan of the same design that is about an inch and a half longer. I thought when I found it that it might be something from the '50s, but some label sleuthing looks to place it in the...
Rainy and cooler here today, so back to felt in the form of this Royal Stetson Open Road

Off for some shopping in a bit

Have a good one,
Michael
Thanks Charlie. I'm a big fan of bowling shirts too. Vntage are tough to find though. This one is a modern Nat Nast.
Your Fino fino is looking fine indeed today. If you have to suffer the heat, at least you are doing it with style.
Thanks,
Michael
Thanks Justin. Your Standard was anything but. A beauty.
Thanks Matt. This shirt is one of the few things I like about summer weather. Ha ha. Your Dobbs today is killer cool. Maybe even serial killer. Or is that cereal?
Thanks,
Michael
Biltmore Milan 'burg today.

Have a good one,

Thanks Stefan. The Dallas is a great hat and I'm already getting to be very fond of the denim half belt. Both being lightweight they will probably continue to show up through the summer.
Thanks again Stefan. I love straw hats, but I wish it would be awhile here before I had to dig them out...
Thanks Charlie. Between these 3 and about a half dozen various milans and a couple of palm straws I think pretty well set up for summer hats. Not that I can resist new ones when they show up. Ha ha.
Thanks,
Michael
The Freeman's again, as they are my onlly spectators new or vintage, with another color of pants.
