Waiting for this vintage boater. Brunetto brand. Probably arrives tomorrow...

Awaiting the arrival of this piece! Borsalino 'Calidad Especial'

I am just now seeing this hat...wow! It is so one of a kind and everything about that one is attractive, the balance of the crown and shape works so well with the color, brim size, and how the brim edge and ribbon colors....what a find!

It's out of Everything Australian's door. Wow -- where did those three months go?

Now you need another brown hat.

Picked up another Cav stingy yesterday. The listing said it was "grey", we will see. I'm thinking it looks like my Rat Pack Cav which is Onyx. The main reason I snagged this one is it is a "Cavanagh Thirty" as opposed to the lower end $16.50 one I have right now. I think I'll do a side by side review of the two grades of Cav when it shows up. Different feel to the felt? It is also a 7 1/4 LO so...

It's no good, I just had to scratch my Belgian hat itch, I've ordered another hat from Esther Weis Millinery.
Esther asked me what style I would like, predictable me went for the classic look, I sent her this photo:


She is in the process of making me a parasisal straw hat. The basic structure has arrived.



And the ribbon bow has been crafted:



The sweatband chosen, I have selected the lighter colour.



As if that wasn't enough, Tina has ordered a very special patterned material to make a shirt that will not only be the envy of MG owners, but will compliment the hat that Esther is making. How lucky am I?

Truly a MG worthy hat! As a former 73 MG and 71 Midget owner (didn't even get joint custody in that divorce...) I am BR Green with envy of that material for the shirt!!!

I got my email yesterday that my new Akubra Hampton from Everything Australian has shipped after about a 2.5 month wait. I'm on pins and needles waiting now. It will be just in time for autumn weather too.

British Racing Green envy, now that's creative. What a pain at losing those lovely little MG Midgets. Have you heard of MG Live? It's the world's largest gathering of MG's, held every year at the formula one, Silverstone race track. That link will take you to many more links where you can admire many an MG Midget. The archive is full of photos and, although I haven't checked, I expect there's quite a few clips on YouTube.

Esther pm'd me today, my hat is almost finished. Is that lady good, or what?

I had all the materials at hand.
Sometimes certain things take more time to arrive.
And straw works a bit faster than a felt.

Can't wait to see it on you Sir!

I'm a sucker for a JJ Hat Center sale....bought Doria and Stetson summer caps at 50% off. SF didn't get above 70 all this August, so we're all anxiously awaiting our Indian summer, and these will do nicely.

Now we have the currency mix up sorted we have that tentative wait to see if our respective Post Offices can manage to deliver it safely. Tina and I are still waiting for the MG fabric to arrive. There's also a new pair of shoes coming by post. I tell you, when you are at the mercy of the postal systems, you can quite easily age prematurely.

Delivery was attempted yesterday while I was out. Now I have to travel to the far end of town during regular business hours to get it out of the clutches of the USPS.
