In honor of Straw Hat Day and since it is straw hat weather today, this much faded Ecua-Andino Panama,

I need to get in a bicycle ride before it hots up too much and the threat of rain comes along.

Hope your Monday is going as well as can be expected,

Happy Straw Day to you Michael. Love the weave on this one, it looks multi colored on the underside of the brim???

Straw Hat Day. I spent some time yesterday rotating some felts into boxes and freeing up space for getting a few straws out. I still primarily wear felt in the summer, but some of my straws get some heavy head time, as well.

Kicking off the season with my Peters Brothers Milan namesake hat.

Hope everybody's week is off to a flying start!
Happy Straw Day Jim. That is a beautiful Milan. And formal for business attire!

Nice! Love the tie, hand painted? Another new maker for me to admire, Menard. Is it custom or French?

When it comes this day I always wonder if I'm happy or not

This is the day when it is difficult to wear felt hats

They go to hibernation. I have prepared the boxes and some will sleep until next fall

I hope I can still put some felt on my head, today, however, have reached 26 C° degrees and I think it will be getting harder

Now begins a laziness period and the straw hats are fit for the need

Thanks Mike. The tie is a special endangered species done by Katie Cundiff (http://dobsonart.com/works). The hat says Rene Menard Chapelleri Beaver Blend. I suspect it may be French Canadian. The original Rene Menard was a Jesuit French explorer who explored Canada in the 17th century.
