RBH - Thank you. Unfortunately the photo doesn't do it justice. The color is a bit more golden in the daylight.

A beauty in the sun and just on the edge of too large for me.
Which is unusual.

I'm not sure what it's made of, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's synthetic. But it looks nice, it's comfortable, water resistant, and my head somehow stays as cool in it in the summer heat as a brisa weave Cuenca.

Does anyone else think this one was inspired by slapstick director Mack Sennett?

I just recently ordered a Dobbs Soul for the princely sum of $61. It's a pretty decent looking hat.
