Very nice, Rodolofo, love the colors!

Great combo. In fact, I'm dressed somewhat similarly, myself, today.

Hey all!
Another beautiful day.
I love this old 30's Adam Royal Quality Panama, but I don't wear it often because, as sometimes happens with these old pieces, the straw had become dry with age. It was at the point where I was very uneasy about snapping the brim down for fear of damaging the hat. So, today I had an idea. Toquilla is a palm. So is Coconut. I thought that maybe their oils could be similar. So, I got my jar of organic coconut oil out of the cupboard and rubbed a little on the brim, using the warmth of my fingers to melt it. It soaked in almost instantly. I applied a little more all around the brim, rubbed it in good and put the hat in a warm sunbeam for a few minutes. The difference in flexibility is amazing. Snaps right down, no creak, no nervousness, no greasy feeling. The straw just seems to have lost a few decades.
Anyhoo, here it is.

I certainly hope the revitalization lasts!

Have a great day!

Great shots, Anthony, and a stellar Strat!

I have had this fever brand American legend five ask for a handful of years, but I don’t think I have worn it really in public yet. This may be its maiden voyage, as I got it from the eBay sales when beaver brand closed the shop. Fever brand — beaver brand, thank you AutoCorrect!
It has a unique little tapered flat top crown and originally a pencil curl all the way around. I may try that version as well later, but forced it down in front this morning.

*Edit: The brim really wanted to stay curled!

I love the stark contrasts. It is shaped just perfect.

You have that crease just so. It looks so period.

Beautiful Esther creation Rodolfo! Love the ribbon treatment.

Wore my new hat to the office today.

I'm glad that the general public gets to enjoy this museum piece like we have.

Blue Selentino day.

And then there's this hat. I've never worn it out and I think it's a candidate for a DIY home dyeing experiment.

It was NOS and cheap. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a bargain. In its defense, it is one of the softest new felts I've ever handled.

Blue theme... I kind of like that bright blue of the second one. You didn't mention it's brand????

The color and finish on this Schoble is so rich looking. 50s?

Resistol Tuff-Anuff Conley 20X. A gift from @Michael R. (Thanks Michael!) May be the last day for straw (in the 80s) as it will drop to 29-deg. by Friday night.

Impressive straw Bob! I do like that weave on the crown. Cool.

Both of my blue hats today are Selentino (Tonak). Apparently our Eastern European friends are not afraid of bright colors.

Wow, Moe, good going! I would have never thought of using coconut oil on toquilla straw. It looks great!

I love the fall colors on the trees and shrubs. Another day, another Champ. Just a gray hat on a sunny day.

Thanks Doug. The sweater is very warm so it's just getting into season now. You've been putting on a superb hat show lately. Some real beauties in your stable.

Thanks Red. It was sucking up all the light even when it was in the sun. It's a great hat when it's cool out, and as luck would have it that is what it will be around here for the foreseeable future.

Thanks all,
Michael
