That looks a helluva lot like my Optimo Milan.

It took me a few minutes to regain my composure after reading you comparison to an Optimo! I like SunBody hats for what they are, but they are rough and rugged rather than refined and finished.

I just learned that The Phoenix Hat Company will be offering a Milan in the future and I reserved a place in the queue.

Been missing my felt and leather weather.
So, today it’s the Mystery Black. Gosh i love this hat. For an early Century hat this one still has alot of puppy in it. I could only dream to live as long and look as good as this one.

Brother, you have some truly amazing hats. I’m not even a fan of black hats but this is not just any black hat! Wow!

Sure like these Sunbodies. I think this 2.5 Oak is the one I'm ordering next month.

Still with my new Optimo Panama this mrning. I am in love with it. I had to take it off to sleep. My son's visiting from NY, so we've been playing every day.

I really like how that ribbon color stands out. So blue!

I really enjoy this hat Bowen. The ribbon and curl really make it special.
Pantropic. Nice walk with the husky.
Dinner for one, please, James.

That is one fine weave on that Pantropic. Nice looking plate as well.

I saw that combination in a picture of Panama hats in the Optimo store. Tiffani said it is called Royal Blue.

I very seldom wear a suit. After looking in the mirror I realize I need a formal hat for special occasions. Maybe a black Homburg? Had to go hatless to my daughter's graduation party.
Some Mexican parties end so late breakfast is served at 4 am. This one will.

New to me Premier Stratoliner. I never imagined that I would want or could pull off a Silverbelly hat... not sure about the latter, but I do love the hat.

The great thing about silver belly is that anyone can pull it off, anytime, and for any occasion. Plus it’s probably the most versatile color. And that one is a prime example. Looks great, enjoy it!

This morning rain is threatening for a morning dog walk. A trusty Akubra CD (bluegrass) was my easy choice off the hat rack.

The BGCD is always my first choice in the rain— good call Eric!

Thanks Jeff.

BTW: I do like your pics of dog walk and dinner for one. All too frequently that is the exact situation at my house. Your pics showcasing your recent gigs I have enjoyed. Your VS Bobby Blue fedora has to be my all time fav hat I see you in. Love the inspiration of the hat and the dimensions and features.

Today will be intermitant heavy rain storms. Just shortly ago I was outside doing normal chores in a straw. Below are pics of the Sea Spray. This straw has clever vents. I am uncertain whether the vents do a lot, but I definately like the feature.

Thanks Eric! Art did such wonderful work on that Bobby Blue. The teal ribbon on the navy felt is what knocks it out of the park for me.

The only problem with the dog walk was that I chose to explore a small lake nearby that turned out to have no walking areas near the water. Just private residences. At least the farms were beautiful.

The sea spray is super cool! I like it from the name alone, plus it looks like a great hat.
