Looks good, Max. How would you compare that hat to others? I have one in the collection I'm not overly impressed with (to put it mildly).Lock & Co today

If that hat is the norm for straws, I can see why that is, Alan.In Buffalo, no felts before their appointed time.
Catching up a bit. Been mucking about with my new toys yesterday. This is one of them:
Brent, with special thanks to @BobHufford who made it available to me. The colour has to be seen in person to be believed.
Neither am I, Stefan.Looks good, Max. How would you compare that hat to others? I have one in the collection I'm not overly impressed with (to put it mildly).
Thank you, Bob. Both for the comment and especially the hat. It was made for Montgomery Ward. I've once seen one in a similar (or the same) colour made for Saks. Since it's such a unique colour I wonder if they were from the same maker.You rock that Brent Stefan! Well...you rock all your hats, but this one is really great. I sure wish it would have fit me.
I was afraid of that. There are better British makers out there (but then you know that already).Neither am I, Stefan.

That color blue is a strong favorite of mine; looks close to the 50s Cavanagh my wife wears. Excellent hats!Catching up a bit. Been mucking about with my new toys yesterday. This is one of them:

All of which almost made me forget about the Dobbs fifteen I wore yesterday

Seems hardly fair doesn't it, after that Brent?

Very cool hat, Bowen. I like the texture the weaving pattern provides.View attachment 133373 View attachment 133374 View attachment 133376 View attachment 133377
Greetings All:
Today it’s Thursday’s straw.
A very old Bangkor straw.
A rather nicely patterned weave that breathes.
Be well. Bowen

You got style, but I gotta tell ya. Your wife looks much better in a fedora than you![emoji16].That color blue is a strong favorite of mine; looks close to the 50s Cavanagh my wife wears. Excellent hats!
