The forecast high for today is lower than the actual low for yesterday. Relief.

One of your best, Terry. Love how that extra texture of the scratched finish adds interest.Wearing another of my conversions. I had to do a little extra work on this Stagecoach. This is another of my longhair conversions that I did a few weeks ago. The dye on this one washed out a bit after a few previous reblockings and other changes which left the brim looking faded and splotchy. I stripped it down again and put it aside for future experimentation when the occasion would ever arise. After some consideration I decided to recondition the felt and do some luring on it. The end result came out really nice. The felt has a nice luster and the splotchiness is hardly visible, except for under certain light....additionally, bond sent me some ribbons that he took off of old hats he worked on and I found this vintage black 1 1/2 ribbon and bow in the mix that worked out perfect for this hat. The bow is simple and clean and not elaborate at all but it has a vintage look that I really like so I didn't even consider making any changes to it. The undertone of this hat has a grayish appearance so the black ribbon worked out very well. The hat has my usual tall straight crown and is creased in my preferred Teardrop.
Interesting little history, Mike and interesting crease too. Looks almost triangular in the third shot.

Today's hat. Bailey lite straw shantung hat. Very light, great for a hot day. Best of all it was free as Amazon shipped it in a bag. Needless to say it was crushed. With a little steam I managed to fix it. Oh, then they sent the replacement the same way. So I have two. Fixed both, but really.

Outstanding, Bowen. I see why you thought the Caxton was a twin to this one.

Very cool hat, Mike. Wonderful shape to it and it looks like a nice heather felt.Pleasant day for felt. Finally! Dobbs Twenty was the choice. It’s one of my knock-abouts that I enjoy wearing quite a bit lately.

Have a good one,

Very nice Dobbs. 2 1/8 is not really stingy, is it?I have a confession to make: I’ve been traveling a bit and it has been hot, humid, and cumbersome to bring fedoras. I’ve been wearing primarily baseball caps, but as the work season settles back in and temperatures are slightly cooler and air is slightly drier, I’ve been enjoying this stingy Dobbs guild edge for several days.
It is unusual for me to favor a grey hat, or a stingy brim for that matter, but the outdoors are still green so it can work nicely without appearing dull, and maybe the 2 1/8” brim just works better with my recent haircut.
It’s also one of the only hats on which I really enjoy the feather.
That is not my office.
Anyway here are some pics. Enjoy!
And just for fun:
