This aft. I found a comfy seat on the couch in the karate area to read some gymnastics technical material and then headed out for needed coffee.

Gt, very nice Resistol. Great color!

David, I admire that Adventurebilt. Looks like a great lid!

Case, cut down, that hat looks sleek!

Perry, wow! Nice Whippet!

Jeff, ew. That would creep me out. Maybe the spider was trying to sneak a closer view of the liner logo, or to see what may lie behind the sweat? Glad to see you changed your mind. :eek:

Manfred, than you!! Your felt-straw conversion is fantastic!

Eric, like always, very nice! You sure do have a grand collection!

Alan, spectacular Stetson! Wow!!! What would you say the age is?

Robert, sweet Knox!

Today, I was going to wear the boater again, but I feared the wind may take it for a ride, so I swapped it for the 30s Stetson Special.

Nice one Jared!
Always good to see that special, Justin-- I think that's your best look, but I"m biased toward those rolled brims!
Eric, I just love the tone of that Exec.
David, packing for what? Is that your umbrella? ;) Those rollables are so fascinating.

My Bradford LTD. "Super" Open Road Style fedora...I love this hat...It's my favorite. My Stetsons don't even compare to it. Unfortunately, the 7 1/8 hat size is too snug for my 7 1/8 Long Oval head...and there's no hatter in my area where I can have it resized...

Very nice, TJ... Depending on the condition of the sweatband, this might be attempted at home with a stretcher.
Thanks alan...the sweat band is in excellent condition...Like new, soft and supple...after it's stretched to fit me, will the hat stay that way, or will it have to be re-stretched every so often?

It will probably need a bit of a stretch every so often. A hat jack/hat retainer wouldn't be a bad investment. If you get it reblocked to a lng oval, that should be a more permanent solution.
