Greetings All:
It’s time for some Borsalinos!!
It occured to me i tend to post Stetsons of whatever flavor. I love Stetsons without question.
But i “really” love my Borsas!! and they have their own little area of the place where i can see them always!
So today it’s my “mocha java” that likes a center sorta dent. I believe this one is the first i went “all in” and had to beg for.
Then it all started! Ha
2 5/8” raw edge brim, 1” ribbon, light as a feather, a joy to play with.
Be well. Bowen

As others are writing, the summer heat has arrived. Temps in the mid 90s today. Perfect weather for an unlined hat, no?

This hat, assumed to be pre-WWII, is a very light, thin, but dense felt. Easily shaped, it is one of my lightest summer hats. I forget exactly, but something like 2.5 oz.

Friday has arrived. Celebrate accordingly!

So Jim, Daltons are everyday hats now. You wear a different one every day. Well done.

Good morning. The heat index will hits 100'f in Minnesota, USA today. Yuck to the heat in advance. I wore a Stetson Flagship on the early dog walk. Not much panting done by the dogs and myself. :)

The Flagship can be identified with it's unique edge treatment. The felt has the clay-like characteristics of the mid-weight 40's Stetsons. My hat does show have a Petersham ribbon treatment.

The hat is perched on a crown block waiting for the leather sweat to absorb some conditioner. In the meantime I am enjoying the up-close visual art it offers.

I echo what the early periodical advertisements for the Stetson flagship say - a "Great hat for Going Places."


Best today, Eric -
Hey Eric:
It took about 1 second, seeing the ribbon to know a Flagship was flying! As always, a pristine example of your’s can be enjoyed. There are a few examples around, Moe has a twin i believe. I enjoy the different brim treatments as well, each a class of it’s own.
Of all i’ve seen and had the good fortune to touch, this color combination, ribbon and liner is truly a “Flagship” for Stetson.
Art is the word!
Thanks for sharing.
B
Ps: is there a Vita-Felt version to chase after??

If you're anything like me, that won't happen before you hit 50 unless your hair and beard turn gray prematurely. :(

I don’t mind the gray, but my vanity rebels at the continual thinning. I think I’m destined to be an “Average Balding Guy.” I hope I pull it off as well as our Short Balding Guy does. :)
