After going through the dreary winter months and then locked in by the Coronacrud, a new hat hasn't been on my mind much. But now the sun is out, Memorial Day has passed, and the lockdown is slowly lifting. I'm finding myself receiving ads promoting new straws and summer hats. My old vintage Stetson Straw Fedora Long Oval is looking a bit battered (I may try steaming it a bit) my Stetson Shantung and my DelMonico Stetson are a little too broad-brimmed at times for a walk around the neighborhood. So now I'm looking perhaps for something akin to the straw fedora that might be considered a "beater" hat. Any ideas?
Where did you get the pug and sweat, Randy?Sunbody makes a decent, low cost straw fedora. Mine has a 2 1/2 brim. I had a new pugg and a leather sweatband put in mine, also.

I'll third the vote. Sunbody's hats are a little too "rough around the edges" for some people, but I like mine....I’ll second the vote for a SunBody palm “fedora.”

Good to see you back, Fred! I hope you and yours are weathering the storm(s) well. A new hat is always a balm for frayed nerves.
