Still need to dig out my rain shell and overpants.

Have a great day,

Everything about this Dobbs is a dream Justin. That liner logo around the vents really tops it all off.


Yay! A Rodolfo hat. I just love your Gannon collection.


You really have a special hat in this Mallory Mondo. You are just fine with your selfie mojo.


Mid ribbon goodness there Johnny!

Me too!!!

Here's the Stetson Nutria I was working on. I'm not doing anything special with it. Just sizing it up. A buddy of mine gave it to me a couple a couple of years ago. I'm not exactly happy with the way it turned out. The hat is soft felt plus the brim has a weak spot in the back which made it hard to work with. It's an old faded out tan hat, probably late '40s to very early '50s. The brim also made the ribbon difficult to work with as well. I actually had to reblock this thing twice, and reflange it three times. I'm going to buy some hat stiffener and apply it to the brim and see if that will give it some support. I still have some tweaking to do on it. It's very similar looking to the Resistol Tan Bark longhair I did a few weeks ago, only lighter in color. Once I get everything tweaked up I think I can get it pretty much taken care of, aside from some of the weaknesses in the felt. It'll still have plenty of life when I'm finished. Tall straight crown, 2 3/4 brim, and an 1 1/2 contrasting ribbon

Looks great! The color and contrasting ribbon look really good, with the brim width.

I like it! Looks great; need more pics!

Our warm days are headed downward... 88, 84, then 70s and some rain in the forecast. So, more straw while we can! (Although it is quite cool in the morning now).

Beater modern parabuntal with a poly fleece jacket? Sure!

Today I had to attend an appointment at my doctor's surgery. It's a husband and wife team, both of whom, are doctors. My appointment today was with the wife, and as her and her husband share a name we call her Dr. Rachel. Originally I had put on an Aloha shirt, but my missus said that only a collar and tie will suffice for a visit to the doctor. If you say so dear.

Dr. Rachel was in good spirits, I had to drop my trousers so that she could examine the hip replacement scar, this I duly did. Looking up from my thigh she said: "You never disappoint." To which I replied, "the hat or the tie?" She laughed and said: "Well, the shoes actually."
I like doctor Rachel, there's nothing that I'm uncomfortable with in tallking to her about. When I have my annual medical check up she will give me a phial and ask me for a urine sample, but she always says it in a common usage term. "Just pop down to the toilet and put a sample of your pee in their for me." It's her job, and she's very good at it, but collar and tie, fedora hat and spectator shoes bowl her over.
So glad I didn't disappoint.
The hat's one of Esther's, the shirt is by Darcy, the shoes by Colin Johnson, and the trousers Tina bought and altered from slim it to wide with turned up cuffs.

Thank you buddy. I just need to do a little tweaking on it.

If you need a rain hat, you can't go wrong with a filson!

Very nice Terry. Saving a nutria is a noble thing. Love that color, looks great.

I would be drawn to those fabulous shoes too. I think you probably get better care from a doctor that appreciates how you present yourself to them. My new doctor's office is already noticing the different hats I wear to appointments. His nurse is really excited about them. I'm going to gift her a stingy Dobbs straw I have in reserve at my next appointment in a couple of weeks.

Thank you Tuk. I took more pictures but they didn't come out very well in the lighting I had. I'll get a few more later and post them.

Just wanted to pop in to say hi

I see some new faces recently... welcome gents

I just happen to be wearing my Gannon Outlaw for the past week or so ... so why not include a photo

Hope you are all well and ready to welcome felt weather back soon

Actually cool here with the breeze, so I grabbed the pecan NW Hats fedora to go grocery shopping, then walked out without my keys. Chilling in the garden, waiting for some keys...

 

[Desert dog]

Great to see you moon! The hat is spot on, a bit of western flair?

A wee window of warmth remains. I am all over it.

Just a quick wearing to confirm fit. Both need a little tweaking to the brim, but I’ll probably leave the creases as is (for now).

D-Bar-J Hat Company 5X.

Rand’s Custom Hatters 8X.

A big thanks to Steve (@mayserwegener) for the taking care of the logistics!
