I considered the two twill hats I got this summer to be my "training hats".I've heard of training bras but never training brims!

You will stand out!Now that I've gotten my Saturday morning entertaining myself out of my system I've changed into what I actually going to wear out in public today.

Now, off to run some errands.

Love the hat, overall, but the felt is stunning!Happy Saturday to all.
After some lengthy, patient and bizarre exercises involving a hat stretcher, containers of water, towels, boxes and a heating pad I think that the 1940s teal Dobbs Game Bird may finally be coming to terms that with all of its original parts it WILL be a 7 1/4 and not a 7.
This one is the brother of the green Dobbs I wore a couple of days ago. I sent some pics of that one in action to the gentleman who sold them to me from his father's estate. It was touching to read how happy he was that the hat his father treasured lives on as a small part of his legacy.
I apologize in advance for the number of shots (probably more suited for the Dobbs thread), but as I often do, I love the way the different light plays on the hat.

I hope that each of you has a great day.
Be well... Be kind... Have fun!
I know what you mean. I like hats that show their age and history. This one looks worse in a photo than it actually is. It has a disintegrating sweatband that worries me a bitThanks for the kind words, 40. Right back atcha! I would love to find any vita-felt in my size
It my not be in perfect condition but it's such a stunning hat, such an awesome piece of history it just doesn't matter
Beauty.Ah, SatORday? I'll play with my 7XCB Open Road
