Waning Days Of Summer

We love the distinct changes of season in Minnesota, but it also means that at most, I only have the few short but glorious months of June, July and August to wear my favorite straw hats.



Saturday morning, getting last minute supplies and props for filming. OPTIMO Montecristi.



Have driven by this gem of a neighborhood library, the St. Anthony Park Branch Library, for decades, and have always wanted to stop by for a visit. Finally did so Saturday afternoon!



Hauling equipment to our location early Sunday morning. OPTIMO Montecristi.



At the end of a very long day of shooting.

During the last 15 days I went to Florida and did a road trip all around the state. I took with me my VS Dualist.

It got a lot of success, I drop Art's name quite a lot (especially at shop in St. Augustine, I let the owner examine my hat. He was really impress).









Of course I made a stop at Orlando and found an impressive hat, XD

 

[hatophile]

Melton today.

Looks like fun Speed!
Sharp Squatter Orange.
Beauty of a hat Al!

 

[hatsRme]

Great visit, SpeedR! Al, aren't you allowed to wear the straws until September 15? I hope so... such beauties! Ograd, you're up like a bird this morning, sir! Perry's the man with that marvelously madly magnificent MELTON!

Quick photo grab with the board shirt and my PHD Special Reserve, finished by Art F.

Looks like a wonderful trip through Florida. It is a wonderful place to spend a vacation.

That's quite a nice VS you have there.

Thanks Charlie and G. Durand (Nice thin ribbon by the way, I definitely understand not wanting to sweat up those nice old hats).

Speedracer, always nice to see you on here. The VS suits you better than the alien

For today Elosegui Plato Grande Beret

 

[hatophile]

Nice work of Art Hats.

Sam you got that beret under control, lookin cool.

 

[hatophile]

Nice to see you went through Medina this weekend Alan, it's only about 40 minutes from us in North Canton.
Best wishes to Lily's new adventure.
All great hats over the weekend.

 

[Chepstow]

Great hats gentlemen....

RABowling, wonderful hat with lovely ribbon bow work!

Hamilcar, very nice combination with the Peerless hat, looks very good!

g-durand, congrats to the sharp new Open Road, you look great with him!

Sam, so many hats, can't say what looks better, all hats are great!

Alan, Empty nest! Yes, it's always hard for mom and dad, I know that feeling. One of our Sons has a own apartment now and my wife fights with her feelings.

Charlie, very nice photos, a sharp hat and a sunny day! What can go wrong!!

Perry, great Melton! Looks good on you!

Speed, wonderful, it's a great trip and many nice impressions for you. Enjoy it!

Al, great photos as ever. Your Optimos shines in the sun as diamonds. Truly fantastic hats. Do you shoot photos for Ryan's
Film project?

Andy, a good looking hat your Sqatter. You wear him great!

Rainy days & Mondays....Akubra Heritage Campdraft Deluxe in Silverbelly....

 

[hatophile]

I like the crease of your hat, Tom...

 

[Orangegrad]

I like the crease of your hat, Tom...

Agree - great crease.

 

[alanfgag]

Thank you very much for the kind messages of commiseration. We are home now and happy to see Lily off and swimming upstream in new waters. I might need someone to come by and sprinkle bobby pins around the house. Our vacuum cleaner will be wondering what happened.

 

[SpeedRcrX]

Gentlemen, thank you for your kind comments, I have a great time in Florida.

 

[HamilcarBarca3]

Hello again, guys.

hatsRme, great shirt and hat! Very unique shirt, too, you carry it off great.
g.durand, I love the color of that hat! Also has a pretty cool ribbon.
casechopper, great hats, I like all of them and they suit you fine. I also like the beret!
alanfgag, nice hat and I wish you the best.
Orangegrad, I dig that color, man!
delectan, Lovely straw hats, very gorgeous.
SpeedRcrX, I like both of those hats!
hatophile, nice hat sir.
gtdean48, I also like the crease on the hat. Looks good to my eyes.

Today I wore my Stetson Sportlite hat with a new pair of pants I got off ebay..

 

[Lefty]

Just got this Forrest Bondurant style custom made from Eric Watson at Watson's Hat Shop in Cave Creek, AZ. Natural color 100% beaver with a copper ribbon.

I'd never heard of this maker. His site is very nice and most of the offerings are very well done. Yours is great.

Appreciating Lake Zug, Switzerland.

Amazing, as always

I'm wearing my Supernatural Milan in front of the SFSU library, holding the reciept for my MA thesis, which completes my masters degree!

Congratulations

1933 Rodgers Peet.

You continue to be an inspiration to me.

then Newt at The Royal/Optimo,

That's a beauty of a panama.

This morning I headed out for a hike in my VS Wanderer (silverbelly).

I love your nature photos and the way you always look so perfectly at home in the beautiful settings.

The last few days of widely varied weather have presented plenty of hat wearing opportunities.

and you seem to have picked the perfect hat for every day

We took a slow, rambling ride home through local roads in central O-H-I-O. Stopped to take a walk in Medina, OH before rejoining the highway.

I hope you stopped by the Medina Antique Mall, about 2 minutes from the exit. If not, you'll have to hit it on your next trip, then take the 20 minute drive through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park over to Akron, stop into Stan Hywet (hew-it) for a few hours, and meet me at The Blue Door - all of which you lead you right over to 77 which you can take up to 90.

I played with the brim a little and am happy with the result.

Great hats today guys!

Alan - looks like you were in a long long line there. Wasn't quite that bad for our first day at Drexel a couple of years ago, but the school being a city campus has its own challenges. We do have to move Em next month, but only half a mile or so - on a day of our choosing.

SRX - very nice photos of your Florida trip. As someone already mentioned, it is always good to see you and your fine hats.

HB3 - of the hats you post here, I like that Sportlite the best - by far!

Lefty - as usual very nice photos. I have to say, I totally copied your idea of the long rope for the dogs to fetch toys from the river or lake. Thanks for the comment on the Panama too. It is always great to get a bit of luck when stalking hats online.

Oh, having mentioned the Panama, I was enjoying it today on a beautiful summer day. The softest straw of my small Montecristi collection and a delight to wear.

 

[m0nk]

That is one very nice panama.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao, nice photo, that area reminds me on an Western movie, the right place for the good Resistol!

Thank you

Spent the "big" weekend in Algarve. This time I took 2 hats...

Resistol straw

And I forgot to take off the Stetson Nutria because I rushed out and forgot to change it.
