Thanks Alan, my lightest hat - the Dalton I wore yesterday, is ~3.5 oz. 3.1 oz is amazing, and anything lighter is getting into "hummingbird fart" territory!

Hatters referenced a "two ounce" felt as the lightest available. The Borsalino featherweights are among the lightest hats I have handled, in my size they can be 2.5 - 3 ounces with sweatband and liner. The very lightest felt hat I've owned is the Borsalino Pocket hat which is just over two ounces with a grosgrain sweatband and silk lining. These very lightweight hats are lovely to hold but can be challenging to wear in a breeze.

Beautiful Alan ! Coypu undercoat fur (been reading), they're even here , often mistook for Beaver (huge)or Muskrats (small), but these are native and have flat tails (paddle on beaver , flattened on muskrat) , but round on Coypu . We called them Nutro Rats , red eyes , yellow teeth , huge , but Beaver here get even more huge . Great fur felt and Gorgous Hat Alan ! ... Another stunner ...

Superb hat and great photograph. Is that taken with your iPhone? What is the secret to getting iPhone results like that?

Thanks B. Yes, iPhone. Working with natural light helps. Certain locations around my house and office are dependable for good light. I keep trying for diversity but tend to return to the same spots. Look at our friend Robert. ;^)
