    Harv - that Burnt Orange ribbon works beautifully with the bone. Aaron - It's a good job felt hats are pretty resilient. My worst one was a fedora posted in a plastic mailing bag, and I managed to get that back with very little work. Robert - they've done a good job on that clean up.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Steve - a beautiful hat, but I confess I'm uneasy about otter fur. In the UK they were extinct in most of England through a combination of over hunting and pesticide use. It's only in recent years that they've spread back in from Wales and Scotland. Thanks John - bone looks a great choice for a...

    Charlie - I hope your mum is doing okay. With that family resemblance I think you ought to talk her into trying a fedora - women look great in fedoras. Great VS. Gear-guy - nice stingie. --- Stingy for me today too. SAKS with a Cavanagh edge - probably the pre-hatco 70's from what Brad noted.

    Andy - great looking cap John - that looks good. How pale is bone? A typical panama shade or whiter? Perry - that Tilden is superb. TJones - keep it. If my attempt at a Stagecoach conversion comes out anywhere near as good as that one I'll be delighted. :arated:

    Very classy David. Quite a hard frost here first thing - sunny but no short sleeves.

    TJones - 4" is definitely too much on me, but I might try 3 1/4" :) Alan - thanks although it's dodgy lighting and definitely mid-brown. Thanks g.d. - the VS lightweight looks great with shirt sleeves. No chance of shirt sleeves here for a few days. Roger - the Stetson looks good.

    Great Ribbon on that Lord. I've seen the odd one on ebay.it but know nothing about them.

    " The Great British Hat Makers "

    Their bowlers are about the best you'll find these days - not up to vintage standards but not bad. I like a lot of their caps - well made and fairly priced. Fedora wise - the wool felt are better than most wool felts. The fur-felt has a nice feel and finish, but does shrink a bit in the rain...

    I look forward to seeing it. I've dabbled in made to measure suits, but not gone bespoke. Plenty of choice in English shoes anyway.

    AnA - nice Panama. Personally I like that colour Pug gear-guy - nice hat (and shirt) Lovely colour to that straw g.d. Joao - nice looking Resistol - it's amazing what a difference a hair cut makes. I've taken the band off the Stagecoach (in the post), ironed the brim flat and re-blocked the...

    Ole - go for it. People tend to regret opportunities not taken, much more than those they take.

    Ole - thanks for sharing. You seem to be enjoying your trip. I await he shocking info with bated breath. Don't tell me you're switching to ball caps? ;)

    Hatguy1 - I need a wine-tasting hat (and a beer sampling hat) :) Looks like you're enjoying yourself. David - Nice Penman. We might not have the choice of mass-produced hats people once had, but we're blessed with some fine custom hat makers. Rick - I'll forgive the ball-cap in honour of the...

    Andy - great looking Borso. Beautiful Lee g.d. Roger - a great looking black hat --- Warm enough when out of a rather icy wind today. Christys' Melton 8-piece cap for a change:
