This has always been one of my favorite modest brimmed, soft, casual hats...
I do enjoy a good Moose River!

That's a nice looking catch, John. Particularly like the telescope crown.A package from Goodwill arrived today. A two hat lot with a box to boot! And the shipping was only 12 bucks.
This isn't the one that caught my eye. More on it later. This one, however, is a perfectly good gardening hat. Or, as we say here in the Emerald Triangle, a sun-shiner's bonnet. Or, maybe that's just me.

The crown is 3 3/4 inches, and the brim is 3 inches. 100 grams of stiff, durable feeling straw. The punti sizing is interesting.
Not bad for an also-in-the-net kind of catch...
Thanks Steve!That's a nice looking catch, John. Particularly like the telescope crown.
What does it say on the badge on the leather band?
That is one Ricardo Montalbán catch, John.Well, you saw the Monterrey, so here's the Jack!

I think you got yourself a good one there. Dattero is a lovely deep brown colour with reddish tones. The brim binding and the ribbon treatment are wonderful. Score!View attachment 622475 View attachment 622476 View attachment 622477 View attachment 622478 View attachment 622479
I dont know why Hats in my pictures always look so much more dirty/ratty, but IRL the hat looks very clean. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
Since the felt is so soft, its possible to simply shape the crown & pinches on the fly. Subtle pinches like in picture 1, or more dramatic like in picture 3 & 4.
