Lol. Size 9. I'd be afraid to ruin those beauties on the street!

You can wear western boots and drive Volvos. I do it every day. Almost always wearing a western hat for that matter. If not a western then a fedora. Wearing a larger brimmed hat while driving is a safety feature. No need to take hands off wheel to move sun visor, you just tip your head in the direction needed to block sun.

That you can. I wear a hat every day and drive a Volvo but didn't wear my westerns this year. :(

Hey all!
Thanks for the likes and comments. Always appreciated.
I'm wearing my new to me high crown, wide brim Vanzina today. Or, as I call it, Vanzilla.

My first sharkgill bow, and also the first hat I have found with an elastic wind trolley. Might have to use it if the howling winds of yesterday return.
Have a great day!

Good afternoon. This morning found me in a Cordova linen cap.

Like Bob suede shoes were de rigor at my home also. Alas no cowboy boots.

This afternoon I will be out in my fav milan. I will always be thankful for now less-active forum member, Robert, for his offering this fine milan for sale to me.

Best, Eric -
Eric, After considering everyone's comments last evening regarding my new Milan, I decided after all not to go with the Gambler. I hate being wishy-washy, and I especially try to avoid causing problems for others, but when I thought about the money I was spending I thought it'd be best to order something I won't hesitate to wear. The straw hat shown above is exactly the kind that I pine for when I see them (very occasionally) on Ebay, so I'm going to ask Art Fawcett if he could replicate that style. What a beauty, and thanks for posting the pics. Very timely.

Moe that hat has a nice vintage look to it. I like your look in the wider brims that you have.

Good choice. There's so many different hats and styles to like.

Your pics always look great!!
You are too kind, thank you.
But I would love to actually see a hat sometime.
Problem is, I'm useless at photographing myself. Bought a selfie stick, couldn't get it to work, put it back in it's box, and there it sits.
But, just for you, I've enlisted the help of Mrs Wiggins, a wig mannequin. When my wife does a ladies hair vintage style, she practices on Mrs Wiggins. Here she is posing in the same hat.

Thanks! CK from DSW shoes. Inexpensive. $99. DSW has B&M stores all over Ct. I believe its a national discount chain. They're on the web too.
Thanks. There's one just up the road from where I live. I'll also see if I can order them online. Comfortable?
BTW, your comment last evening regarding golfing hats caused me so much tossing and turning in bed that my wife made me get up and change the order. The last time I was on a golf course was one evening when I was in high school. I recall beer and pursuing police officers to have been involved. Anyway, thanks for the advice.
