Today I'm in my Seersucker suit and wearing this Stetson Open Road that was reworked into a Fedora by a fellow lounger and purchased by me. The ribbon works perfectly with this suit.

Nice ribbon width. Is that searsucker over your shoulder? I'm thinking of getting one.

Working on the boat. While fitting a new deck beam, a four foot piece of solid Sapele, I ducked down to reach for a tool and it fell on my head. It just goes to show that pouring money into it isn't enough. She demanded blood. There was a frightening amount of it too.
That's not the kind of bash we normally see around here. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

But seriously, happy to hear you survived it. Keep it clean, and heal well!

Working from home today so no need to suit up. The new Mode Edge is perhaps a little too formal without a suit so went for a guayavera. I need to stitch the sweatbinding properly referring to @humanshoes helpful link.

Whilst this hat is not as old or as nice as others I have seen in the Lounge, it is the nicest old one I have as to condition, missing just the liner and needing to fix the sweat.

For some reason, it reminds me of when my grandfather from Bordeaux opened a bottle of early 60's wine he had been saving on his 80th (35 year old wine). In a flash, I discovered what "real" wine tastes like. Now I understand a little better about pre60's hats [emoji846]; all part of the pleasure of discovering new old things in life.

You just weren't wearing the right hat! LOL!

A bit cooler today than yesterday's humid 92. I realized this morning that I haven't had coffee with the Whippet for a long time,

I need to give the poor thing a good brush up.

There will be some good local music at the downtown concert tonight. Will have to see if I can get my bike to drag me down there.

Have a fine Friday
