Up off my feet and heading out for the day. It is 58'F in my neighborhood in Minnesota. Good day for a VS dove hat. It is my "Go To" hat.

Perry: Very nice Panama. Must have been a warm weekend for you as well.

Eric: Definitely a chill in the air this morning here in Minnesota. Perfect choice for today, that Dove VS.

Bond: I have not tried Oscars or Lion. Yet. I put them into the beer app on my phone. I will have my local folks see if their distributers can source them.

Glasses - on the morning Strat pic I am wearing some Ray Ban Gatsby's. I bet they are 13+ years old. The bows are wooped, but the lens and frames are perfect. Great green glass those Ray Bans. I used them this past winter Heli-skiing and the lenses proved superior in the bright glare off the snow. The glass surface just isn't big enough to offer protection and I have to wear them as more fashion vs. activity sun glasses.

Best, Eric -

On our final morning in Chicago yesterday, we visited yet another museum...a hat museum, an interactive one with mobile outreach.




Vintage '30s Dobbs Parabuntal. Optimo Montecristi.



Detail of the exquisite Parabuntal.



'30s-early '40s Cavanagh Homburg.






Hut-Schick, Wien. Possibly of '50s-early '60s vintage.



'30s Dobbs straw.



'30s French velour of Austrian origin.



Brim up.

Ultra-rare '30s, possibly '20s back bow Homburg. Saks & Co.



Another NOS '30s hat of French make with Austrian sourced velour.






Deep in conversation with the curator of said museum. Optimo Montecristi.



The esteemed curator of this phenomenal collection, none other than our Robert (RLK). '30s Dobbs Parabuntal.






On the journey home to Minnesota in the late afternoon, an impromptu roadside stop in the bucolic countryside of rural Wisconsin to remember and honor our Veterans on Memorial Day.






Will be posting additional photos in the FEDORAS-AFIELD thread in the near future.

My thanks to Robert for a most enjoyable morning(and afternoon!) of hats, and I am deeply indebted to my wife Lydia and son Ryan for their extreme patience and understanding! Three hours seemed like but a few minutes...

I had this made in Equador Ultrafino. Real nice they have different styles and materials depends on how much you want to pay. I want to get a real nice straw hat, I have the one I bought from you and this one here. It's pretty nice soft and flexible "Authentic Handmade Straw Panama Hat AFICIONADO".
Thanks Chief :cool:



Carl, where did you get that hat?
