Dobbs Cool man today. Temperature is supposed to be 90° by Friday. No sign of felt days ahead.

Looks great and it appears to be well ventilated too; a big plus for a summer hat.

It is hot, it rainy, it is more fresh. It is springtime with its mad weather

Classic Borsalino from the sixties sold in the centre of Milan

Qualità Extra Extra Superiore. Color is "Rutenio" and the ribbon "Asfalto"

It could be one of the last felt of the season, but who knows?

A stingy day today. Mayser Milz with an interesting bow treatment. Wore my new Annie show T-shirt to advertise. Hardly needed to though, the performances are almost all SOLD OUT. These musicals are where our community theater makes it's major funding. It allows for funding some of the more less known shows in the season that may not be well attended.

Good to hear the production is doing well. Mike. The Mayser is doing well too, by the looks of it.

Thanks Red. It was colder than I expected outside for coffee this morning. I had on a light windbreaker and had to change over to the deerskin.

Thanks Johnny. The jacket was made by a company where you sent them your salted deerhides and they tanned them and sewed them into whatever item of clothing you chose from their catalog of patterns. Pretty cool.

The stingy is looking good. Great that your show is doing well too.

It heated up this afternoon and I'm lounging in the yard under the shade of an American Hat Para Panama.

Just tried to respond to multiple quotes with Tapatalk. Screwed up as usual. Aaaarghhh!

Thanks for the kind words about the Mac. Stefan... You will not be disappointed when you find one.

Red... I'm glad to read that Annie is going great for the theater. Community theaters are important.

Michael... Kick-ass Panama.

Max... Great new Milan.

Stefan... That bowler made my heart skip a beat.

Bowen... Wear that Fifty as long as you can. I recommend a neck mounted air conditioner. Gorgeous hat.

Msholiday.... That two tone is ubercool.

The erstwhile postal employee delivered this extraordinary Tardan handwoven Panama to my house last evening. I believe that it is a late 50s or 60s hat based upon my research of the company and my consideration of the hat's construction.

Founded by a French immigrant, Tardan was one of the (if not the) premier hat companies in Mexico. It is still family owned and continues operations. I'm just delving into its very interesting history.

I also attach a story about a very bad day at the Tardan hat shop from about 100 years ago.

Happy fiesta Friday.
