Lock and Co for Brooks Bros today:

Off to the post office. Mornings here are typically cool, but we're looking at 95F again today. I wore the modern Stratoliner Milan to the post office. I've decided there are straw hats meant for cooler sunny days, and straw hats meant for hotter sunny days. IMO, the Milan and tight weave toquilla straw (Panama/Ecuadorian made) hats are for nice, sunny days, but with temps on the cooler side. The ventilated hats like the semi-calado, to me, are so much better at fighting the heat and blazing sun on a hot day.

Anyway, here's my Strat milan from @Monavillecowboy . FYI, IME these run a little large. The 60cm was too big for me even with the foam strip placed (not permanently attached) under the entire circumference of the sweat... wobbly loose. So, no questions asked @Monavillecowboy accepted the 60cm back and immediately sent off the 59cm hat. Fits much better, and I am enjoying it this morning!

I hit the front brim with a little steam. Snap brim? I don't need no stinking snap brim! (Sorry @Bob Roberts ) I wear the front brim down, and applying some steam and then holding the brim down while it dried off made the front look a lot better, IMO.

We're wearing the same today! Although yours looks more pristine than mine looks great.

Hey all!
Saw a moth crawling on one of my Homburgs this morning, so I spent the better part of an hour brushing hats just in case the little bastage had already deposited it's offspring onto my collection. In the process, I remembered I have this here Tonak Seal Velour. Goes well with a G-1. Weather permitting, of course.

Have a great day!

I just have to say what everyone else is saying. That's a fantastic looking hat. Great colour and dimensions.
Wear it in good health

A handwoven toquilla straw boater, marked only "genuine panama"... likely pre-depression.

Every time you and Steve post a hat I say, "Wow, that's fabulous!" This gets a double wow as I've never seen a boater made from toquilla straw before!

Thanks for the comments and likes for yesterday's PB Milan. Today another Milan, this one made by Mr Fawcett.

Cheers! David

Humid morning for a stroll with this Bay panama

It is finished with not so much attention, but the weaves
are good and perhaps it deserves a better TLC to be more right

Thanks for the likes and appreciations
Have a good "Ferragosto" from Verona

Stunner. The rare panama boaters look so much more refined and elegant than the usual straw.

Thanks Johnny!
I do consider myself lucky to have it as the only other Seal Velour that I have seen is in Steve's (mayser's) collection, and his (I believe) is pre-nationalization Huckel. Not to nention that I won it basically uncontested, as most other bidders were occupied with Easter dinner and missed the end of the auction.
(And despite what Fruno might say, it's hare fur, not itty bitty widdle baby seal fur.)
More of a cold weather lid but a foggy day made it wearable.

Thanks Jeff... you might remember how I store the boaters stacked in my hat shelves. One day, removing a stack quickly, I dropped this one and it landed badly. I will reweave it when I retire. Maybe.
