The Akubra Cattleman (Sand) came in today. I can already tell I'm gonna love this one. Too bad it came AFTER all the big thunderstorms went through the area lol.

No good lighting today to show off the Sand color, but I'll try again later. Warning: iPhone lens makes brims appear bigger than they actually are.

Absolutely splendid toppers today, everyone. I'm back from warmer climes, but it's just as warm here as it was on the Gulf Coast two days ago. It will be straw hats for the next couple of days.

In a rush this a.m. so I apologize for not being able to comment on all the wonderful individual lids today....

Richard, Joao, Javier, g.durand, David, Tedquinton, Nice display of hats guys.

On this chilly morning from Central Ohio I'm trying on my most recent hat conversion project... This 3x Open Road will soon be another Wanderer conversion...I reblocked this one and gave it a 4 1/2 inches tall C-crown crease. The brim's not as wide as I usually like to wear, (2 1/2 inches), but the taller boxy crown kind of makes up for that...I still have to sew in the sweat and sew on a contrasting medium brown mid-ribbon...notice the fading where the old thin ribbon used to be. I was going to turn the hat inside out but the underside of the brim was faded too...

Joao - I'd love to see a photo of you wearing Richard's Homburg, That would be a classic!
This is the most close thing I have (not trying to compete with Alan's new tall hat). Sorry about the bad pictures but I don't want to be seen in the street wearing this. I think it is christys wool.

Joao - I like the curved brim, I think it works well.
Thanks.

I like the curled brim on that one Joao, I say keep it.
Not sure...

Twins! It's like looking in mirror! Smile and all!...I actually like that Stagecoach. It looks good on you too.
With more than 20 years difference. Thanks.

Joao, I would keep the hat. I think the curled brim looks nice! Warmer weather coming.....did you say beach? :cool:
Thanks. Yes I did. Temperature is 30ºC now. Today is a holiday (workers day) and I believe people are hitting the beach on this warm day.

The Akubra Cattleman (Sand) came in today. Warning: iPhone lens makes brims appear bigger than they actually are.
It does look to have a wider brim. Nice color.

Open Road 7XCB
Nice 7XCB.

Richard, Joao, Javier, g.durand, David, Tedquinton, Nice display of hats guys.
Thanks.

Because of this sunny day Stetson Big Country again.
