Now there's something you don't see everyday. Very cool, both literally and figuratively.

Ottmar Reich possibly late 1930s early 1940s. I don't wear Straw Hats often but this one came with a Felt Hat find from about 3 months of months ago. I tend to think this hat is older because it came from an East German source and Ottmar Reich was located in West Germany.

Great brim swoop, especially for a straw.

Greetings All:
I want to thank everyone for all the kind comments these last many months, especially those i haven’t thanked personally. All are very appreciated, my fellow loungers. I’ve been blessed with some nice hats and i love sharing them with you all. Otherwise it’s just the dog and she’s not impressed. Just encroaches her habitat. Lol
Today a hat nobody appreciates in the rearview mirror and def not standing outside your driver’s window!! Yipes!!
Stratton Lawman type.
Be well. Bowen

Bowen, I have a couple of them myself. They're great for eBay money. I'm too hard on straws for a Super Fino.

Stay cool on the veranda my Southern friends.

Hey Jack:
Yea i hear ya. I’m kinda an un-Fino type guy so Law straw works.
Outstanding boots!!
If i recall, any scotch that’s name starts with “Glen...” is a knockback!! Had an English Prof tudor in that one!! Arggh!
Like Jimmy says “gotta be 5p somewhere”!
Enjoy the holiday and thanks to them that did it for us.

Great kids today gents!

I cleaned 2 hats last Tuesday in the white gas/naptha bath. Cleaning took about 15 minutes. Filtering the gas back into cans took another hour! Those little coffee filters plug up pretty fast. I was amazed at the amount of dirt removed, how much better the hats look and feel, and crease, too. Very pleased.

Here is one of the cleaning candidates, an older Champ I picked up several weeks back. It looked as though someone tried to clean it with water or a water/vinegar mix. There were white lines left in the felt, and the crease was really wonky and lopsided. Did I say how dirty this one was? Much dirtier than I thought.

Excellent restoration Doug. Love that corded ribbon. Nice crease.
