Okay, I'll give it a while and then consider using my new rounding jack to change the brim.

Until today, I've never even heard of a "shovel" shape.
If you grow up wearing Westerns like many on here, it's not a big change. However, if you're new to hats and Westerns in particular it can be a little intimidating, especially for the larger brimmed Westerns.

After a calm Christmas with weighting for food and drink, here we are on a gray and rainy day waiting for New Year.
Verona is almost deserted except for tourists.

Vita-Felt homburg this fine morn'.

Unfortunately, I'm getting ready to take our beloved geriatric cat to the vet. It looks like his sojourn on Mother Earth is about at an end. And sadly, today may be the day. We shall see...

Have a wonderful Wednesday, folks.

Always good to see that one, Matt. Good luck with the cat; that's not something to look forward to.

Continuing my wife's birthday celebration (its all about her you know...) by going to see Star Wars. She always selects a movie for her birthday, this one is a no brainer! A simple, comfortable look for the movie, my Brent Whip Stitch conversion from NW Hats. This hat is a great daily driver for such events. Tonight, her official family dinner celebration at our favorite Hungarian restaurant, a more formal hat will be required...

It's a beautiful hat, Mike. Love that brim stitching.

Good day folks. I decided to take the day off. Hurrah! This morning dog alk and outside chores found me wearing a Cordova cap and wool for the frigid -11f' temps. Folded my collar down for the pic.

As we get used to the temps it becomes less shocking and I dressed more moderately for a trip to the butcher shop. 1st customer today. Wearing a Gannon (moss green w/gills). Before leaving I started a small wood fire for later smoking meat use.

Then the process of home-made smoked sausage begins. Inside-outside as I monitor the meat found me wearing a dress weight Gannon (whiskey felt with charcoal trimmings and then a vtg.Stetson Stratoliner (gray).

Hats change as I keep some by the back porch and I can grab a different one when I choose. Choice is excellent.

I have tested the sausages and given them a thumbs up. I have enough to satisfy a couple months of our uses.

Best, Eric -
Great outfits, Eric. Stay warm!

Thanks for all of the kind words about the unfortunate events concerning our cat, Shadow (and of course, those about my hat, too). He did make the journey to his eternal reward, yesterday. So, hopefully he is now having a wonderful time at the great scratching post in the sky.

I'm having a Thursday under a Stetson Royal DeLuxe that was converted from a homburg.

Yippee.

Have a fun day, all. View attachment 99872 View attachment 99873 View attachment 99874 View attachment 99875 View attachment 99876 View attachment 99877
That Stetson sure handles it's new vocation as a fedora well, Matt.

Magnificent, Daniele. We're very jealous not to have one!
