Up and about again. Today was the English Hatter panama again. Took it to the annual Deventer bookmarket (largest in Europe). Literally miles and miles of bookstalls.

I sure miss all those fairs and markets in Europe, I lived in Germany near Frankfurt for 6 yrs. Amazing book and flea markets. Nothing like it here in the states.

I like the look of the palmoro, Michael. Minus the grommets though, I have to admit.
Thanks Stefan. I'm actually quite liking the grommets, both aesthetically and functionally. I'm really fond of the color and the shape of the hat.

Looks great, Michael.
Thanks Stefan. I really like the shape and size of that one. I really need to buckle down and do some work on it.

That colour appears almost golden on my screen, Michael. Very flashy colour.
In person I would say more lemon than golden, though with a golden ribbon and binding. Love that color.

Super hat for a super event. That sounds like a blast. Find any interesting books on hats?

It was a sauna here this evening, so I went with a Champ Featherweight for a little futzing in the yard.

After most of the day sweating up my Stetson flat cap on the bike I wanted a bit of felt hat.

Hope everyone's weekend is winding down in a satisfactory manner,

It has cooled down a bit (only 96) so I decided to wear a felt for services this morning. This was the first vintage hat I acquired. It is still my favorite in my collection. I don't have any hats that I don't like. But this hat -- it's just special.

Impressive C&K Bill. I agree about the outfit. Sharp.

Looking good there, Stefan. I really need to put the Deventer bookmarket in my calendar for next year. Did you rturn home with a large pile of books? I'm sure I would :)

I'll post a full report later, but I just had to share a few photos from my pilgrimage to Byrnie Utz hats in Seattle. I did buy something, a cheap Cappas Straw, more on that tomorrow. I'm wearing a mid-1950s Knox, just like in the day.

The only thing Borsalino I brought home was the bag.

Excellent, Mike! Reminds me I need to get down to Cincy and say, "Hey" to Mr. Miller.

Today, I'm proud to present my "new" Peters Bros "Tankersley." I talked Anthony out of this hat. He had it made after I had them make my black one a couple years ago. This one has the exact specs as mine, featuring the tall crown and 2 7/8" brim. The ribbon is also identical, as I chose a vintage green thin ribbon for the OR clone.

I had wanted to score another from PB, but came up short last year when someone - I forget who - posted pics of a recent PB purchase and their quality of finishing had taken a real nosedive. I hope they've improved, but this is better, as it was made by the same hands as my previous one, which I love. The fit and feel on this one is identical to my other.

Now I have to go wrassle that bear, or they won't let me have my kibble.
