Casual summer straw for the beach?

I've used Shorty's & Catalena Hatters as well as Optimo to good results in having hats restored. These were for Open Roads. I don't think Catalena does non-western hats. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Stetson stopped labeling the sweatband & used a paper label attached to the sweat. If your's does not have this label behind the sweat then the PO removed it. Stetson put out lots of hats that are of the Open Road style but don't have markings as such. My 7X CB is not marked so I refer to... -

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
For walking around swap meets & bike shows, I prefer a lower heel. My legs don't tire out as easily. I got used to roper heels from horse shows where 98% of the time I'm on the ground vs the 2% I'm in the saddle. Just reread the part about the double mid-sole = going with another heel stack may...- gtdean48

Fedora Fest V?
I don't see a visit to Optimo being that different than the visit we did to Peter Bros in Ft Worth. Granted we all went to the HatCo factory tour but the visit to Peter Bros & also the Stockyards was fun to me. I'm sure the proprietor would like a head's up that a group was coming by that may... -

Black Sheep Hat Works
