Had a break in the weather here today, get over it Mr. Hemingway, so in honor of our Texas friends, out came the Shudde Bros. Stetson 100 and boots from one one of the finest makers Texas ever produced, Ray Jones.

I picked up this Parabuntal several weeks ago and was bummed that it was too small. I immediately saw a counterfeit Stetson size tag that was attached with duct tape. Did Stetson ever market these? Maybe... And then I noticed there was duct tape around the entire circumference of the hat, under the satin sweatband. Well, today I was looking at it again. I thought the sweat was attached to the hat with the duct tape, but upon closer examination I saw the reeded sweat was sewn to the hat body. The duct tape is so old that the adhesive is brittle and just cracks off, so I started removing the tape... and then it finally dawned on me: this was some guy's barnyard version of foam spacer tabs because the hat was too big for him! Hope upon hope, as I removed all the tape and doubled over pieces in some spots.... woohoo! It does fit me now! Very stoked on this one, now.

As it so happens, my Borslino parabuntal is too big. It was marketed as a size 7-1/2, but it's also marked 61 cm, which I believe is the correct size.

Keep cool all of youse out their in the heat waves!

Huh? So what are you wearing? The counterfeit Stetson Para or the Borsalino Para?

Hang in there with the Panama, Blu! I love the shirt, too, guayabera?

Thanks! And yes, sir -- a Cubavera guayabera.

I'm wearing the "Stetson" in the pics. My Borsalino has the exact same satin sweatband, interestingly enough, but it's too big for me.

These hats are so light! I can't wear the Borsalino (size 61cm @Jeremy T Garner , hint, hint) or the slightest breeze would blow it away!

Are you asking about the weather???!!!???

Those are sweet! I stupidly walked away from a like new Cubavera at the New To You thrift store, hoping it would be on their sale prices in another day... went back and it was gone!

"Gloria" Wool Back Bow with original Crease Clip probably 1930s. I do not know the company that made it but I have a few hats from the same time period with a similar paper label format. This is great example of the use of a Crease Clip.

Great looking hat, Steve. Lovely colour and form. Good to see a hat clip in action. I like the effect it has on the crease of this hat.

I tried on a Borsalino straw last summer at Delmonico. Yes, very light indeed. Unfortunately very heavy price.

Stefan, Thank you! I agree it makes a fantasic looking crease. The crown height and felt type are a great match for a Crease Clip.

Only thing better would be a smoking jacket.

Rightyouare, Jack! But that was a morning coffee.
Home from work, relaxing comfortably after dinner is smoking jacket time. Wearing an early 1970s Moroccan-made fez, of course!
