    Help pick the ribbon for a new hat, please.

    I am thinking the sterling is right. I talked to Bob Jesse. The pewter is close to the color of the hat and I wanted a little more contrast, and he tells me the sterling isn't too contrasty. He also tells me the sterling picks up the warmer color of the felt. I will get another photo when...

    Help pick the ribbon for a new hat, please.

    What do you think? Bob from Black Sheep Hat Works has sent these ribbon choices. What do you like best. I'll keep my ideas to myself for now.

    Spring is here for sure now, so it will be more straws and light hats from now until late October.

    U.S. Federal Trade Commission alerts hat industry regarding mislabeling of hats

    Other statutes would prevent calling a possum fur hat a beaver hat. In Texas, it would be the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Almost all states have something similar.

    Beaver Fur Cowboy hat

    That is a great hat. I wouldn't change a thing.

    A linen cap - summer will be here soon. It will be in the high 70s today.

    A new linen Borsalino cap. The pattern isn't quite as well matched as I might hope for, but it is a nice light cap for summer, which is fast approaching here in Texas.

    That is a great pattern, and would also be a great fabric for the upcoming summer here in Houston! I have a new linen cap coming, but it won't be as nifty as that one.

    Headwear for hot, rainy weather?

    I use a Tilley hat for golf and being in the sun. It is also a good rain hat.

    D.I.Y. Borsalino. Comes with it's own scissors!

    I'm going to cut mine in a spiral and let the brim hang down like a tail.

    Thanks. I bid on one of them - those big sizes are hard to find. Nice new cap, Kieth. When is the hat shop opening?

    Interesting Incident at a Hat-Shop

    I don't know much about the market for vintage hats, and absolutely nothing about the market for vintage Akubras. But vintage American hats can sell for that much, and do fairly regularly. Peruse eBay - maybe you'll get some idea of the market. And I'm sure we'd all love to see a photo of the hat.

    It isn't spring yet, but it will be almost 80 today, so I got out a straw.
