We all keep repeating ourselves every time you post a lid, Jim. You are the hat bomb, man.

Bob, my avatar shows it on my head, but admittedly, not well. I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, after work I went out to see the horses and ride a bit so I wore this.

It's a Stetson Roll Up, straw cowboy hat that my mother-in-law bought for me in Marble Falls, Texas about 7 years ago from a thrift shop for $1. It has seen hard service since I've had it but I really love that hat. It is cool and comfortable in hot weather, and I think has a certain lived in look.

From the perfect crease to the perfect crunch. Love 'em both!

My 1960s black stingy brim Resistol.

Feelin' rather cocky today...

Today I'm back to the Fed deLuxe Mk III (dark brown) in my current avatar. A real favourite in my collection.

This is a soft felt fedora which says it was made by Keens in Britain for Halle Brothers Co, a Cleveland, Ohio, Department Store. This hat was purchased on ebay for $15.50. I like the feel and fit and thought I got a bargain.

I hope you don't mind that I've added this to the Ohio hats thread.

Sure you can. I have a couple. They are the nicer grade of cuenca, though.

I haven't seen optimo style crowns in cuencas with the brisa weave, but they may exist too for all I know.

You guys are too kind. Many thanks for the nice comments -- they are much appreciated.

I think one of the great things about this thread is that it serves as a constant parade of great lids -- a place where you can re-post hats that may not have seen the "virtual" light of day for a while. Always informative, always plenty of great looks -- it never disappoints.

Cheers,

I need the cheapo weave since the finer the weave the worse my extra long oval distorts the brim.:eusa_doh:
