Simply beautiful, Michael.


Sterling descriptor, Jim. Gorgeous lid!


Classic beauty, Fabiovenhorst.


Another gorgeous hat, Esther. I heard recently my brother and his wife are in Ghent. Is that anywhere near you?


It looks fantastic, IMO.


Keep cool, Blu!


Yet another beauty, Esther.

It's about an hours drive from where I am. And thank you.

Thank you Bob. As a Belgian that sure seems funny doesn't it?

Just finished this one for a really cool lady.

Beautiful hat Esther and stellar color pairing. Great work.

Simply beautiful, Michael.

Thanks Doug. I've been wearing this one a lot lately. That was a really nice looking Knox 40 you were wearing today. There seems to be some color discrepancy between your first two and the last photo. What is the true color?

Good color on the chapeau, boss.

Thanks Samuel. It's a nice mid grey. Very nice Stratoliner you were wearing today. I need one of those.

Thanks,
Michael

The colors on that Stetson are super. Love the contrasting ribbon.

It's grey, Michael. Weird how the color changes with the direction I stand with respect to the sun.

Time to go to work eating these donuts. I drank another cup of coffee, so between the caffeine and the sugar I will be up all night.

Out and about today with a Stetson Premier Stratoliner in cornhill. This was a stubborn, unforgiving hat to bash; a big thank you to Art Fawcett who kindly rescued it for me and gave it a mild diamond bash. Thickish felt, still stubborn, seems more like a carpet than hat felt, won't take a sharp pinch in the front; I wonder, are they are all this way? Crown height is a bit low for me, so it's currently a nice entry in the beater/casual category. View attachment 84086

Yes, I agree. Some of those Stetsons with the thick felt can be rather hard to shape. I have a Stetsonian that gives me fits and I have had to demote it to a foul weather beater. Welcome to the Lounge.

This is the first montecristi Panama that I purchased from eBay. They used to come up fairly frequently and sell reasonably in smaller sizes. I like the dimensions and blocking in this one... narrow flat brim and tall crown. It came in a Kaufmann's box with a L.C. Rossen shipping label affixed. I believe the hat was "rossenized" early in its life - perhaps adding a new sweatband and frayed ribbon. The straw shows the patina of many summers of wear but remains flexible and strong enough to last another century or so.

It looks great, Alan. Classic Classic...
