It really looks good on you, too, mate!
Thank you very much Doug! I am really digging this hat! I've never owned a "Milan" before.
*side note* I also just managed to confirm a trip to the Portland area! I will be in town the weekend of August 18th through Sunday the 20th. Definitely want to try and get together with some of the fellow loungers from the PNW if they are around! Definitely you and @Redfokker if you're around for coffee at the very least.

I'll set aside the weekend. Aren't you going to stay around for the eclipse?

Stetson in Safari crease, real nice, I have another one that looks very similar to this one, but my youngest kid loved it and ask Dad to get it and keep it until it fits him.

The Sweatband was very dry, tried to save it but in the end will have to replace it.

Fitted it with a WWII East Lancashire Regiment Badge.

I really like this one, but I tend to like Safari hats !

Sounds great! The wife and I were trying to figure that part out. I have until Wednesday the 23rd off so we were still trying to put together a plan for the second part of the trip.
If you need a hotel, get it reserved. Everything near to the longest times for the eclipse (about a minute and 59 seconds) is already booked. My brother and his wife and youngest sun/son are driving up from LA. He wants to stay with me in McMinnville then drive to the Dallas/Monmouth/Independence area to watch the eclipse.... I'm satisfied with a 1 minute window right here in Yamhill county.

The colors intrigued and frightened me at the same time when I first laid eyes on it in its 'for sale' thread, but the overall dimensions and shape looked perfect for me, and the size promised to be spot-on, so I dove in.

I am pleased to report that the size is indeed spot-on, the proportions are perfect for me, and the colors are refreshingly completely different from the rest of my hats, which are more or less traditional fedora colors. I will wear this tomorrow if the day is warm and dry enough. :)

Isn't that the Stetson Renaissance?

No, it was a Cuenca hat body I picked out off a table in a back room at Homero Ortega in Cuenca, Ecuador. I picked the crease and the ribbon/bow color and treatment.

@tropicalbob Do you have a pic of the Stetson Renaissance? I can't find one online.

My wife did the same, and her hat is listed in the classifieds, too. Her picture is actually taken in the office of the Executive assistant to the President of the company.
