Short Balding Guy:Woke up this morning to discover I needed to make a trip to the hardware store for plumbing supplies. I wore a vtg. Stetson Medalist and now a swimsuit to complete pipe replacement and clean-up.
I keep a fav pug on this hat. Wearing this hat makes me feel special. This morning I needed that feeling knowing that I have hours of plumbing and clean-up.
Love the weave of this hat.
Best, Eric -
LOL!Why the "stink eye" Harv? We all agree that is a great hat...

Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Thanks you, Mike. Two favorites for sure.The brims on these fine hats are a dream. The difference in tone is subtle, but noticeable. Super sweet!
A hat like that has you yearning for felt weather all the time. Blue hat but not for a blue day, Mike.Hückel Special c.1955 from Finland. Love the blue/gray color, very rich. Tonight, I'll be trotting out the black homburg. It is closing weekend! I will finally have my life back, for a short while...

Nice looking straw, Steve. Very rare to see a vintage European straw.Ottmar Reich possibly late 1930s early 1940s. I don't wear Straw Hats often but this one came with a Felt Hat find from about 3 months of months ago. I tend to think this hat is older because it came from an East German source and Ottmar Reich was located in West Germany.
A fantastic hat. Nice save!Great kids today gents!
I cleaned 2 hats last Tuesday in the white gas/naptha bath. Cleaning took about 15 minutes. Filtering the gas back into cans took another hour! Those little coffee filters plug up pretty fast. I was amazed at the amount of dirt removed, how much better the hats look and feel, and crease, too. Very pleased.
Here is one of the cleaning candidates, an older Champ I picked up several weeks back. It looked as though someone tried to clean it with water or a water/vinegar mix. There were white lines left in the felt, and the crease was really wonky and lopsided. Did I say how dirty this one was? Much dirtier than I thought.
Thank you, Sergej!Two beatiful hats, with two great outfits! Well done, Stefan.
Very nice, Bob. I like the organic looking crease.The fog over Hungry Creek reflects the dampness of the morning. A forecast of rain calls for a felt hat and the 3XOR was at hand.
Looks like you're ready to go out hunting for new hats, Michael! Cool looking pith helmet.Mid 90s this afternoon means it's time to try the Sun Fari out.

Made by Wesco over New Hampshire way. Don't remember how it takes to bicycle safaris, but I think I need to go to the bike library today and rent a bench to make a few adjustments. So I'll be finding out.

Thanks, Michael! I know how many I have, but I'm afraid to tellThanks Stefan. I seem to be shrinking in all dimensions lately.
Thanks Fabio. Great hat for you today and I need some boots like those.
