Everyone knows people who live & recreate in warmer climates are just healthier. Here's to another stress free hot day relaxing out on the lake.

Well, according to this US News report, @jonesy86 is safe, at least...

Nice hat Steve.
Yes the Baldi's are dutch based and according to my information the are the owners of Jos van Dijck hatshop in Utrecht (netherlands).
Thanks, Marcel.
I thought that might be the case re the Baldis. Nice to know.

Installing a new to me replacement entry door today.
I'm wearing a wool hat with a tag saying, Biltmore for Madewell, with a 5/8 grossgrain sweat. It might have been mass produced for the ladies.
I didn't do much to the teardrop I found it with, but did steam and shape the pinch and brim. It has dried aerosol Zinzer shellac coating the in and outsides now, which I need to set with a sponge of alcohol.
This is one of those "practice" hats I think is worth upgrading to develop skills.

Lee silver label sage homburg to start this warm, foggy morning

Also, I hope these pics are showing up in appropriate sizes, since the new Tapatalk app doesn’t give me the option to choose small.

Some mornings are slower than others. On this slower morning I am wearing a homburg. I was the only person walking thru the park reserve in a hat, much less a homburg. The local wildlife, birds and my dog did not voice any negatives about my hat choice. I am taking this as a thumbs up on wearing more homburgs.

Speeding up slowly - I headed out for errands in a cap.

It has warmed up this afternoon to 74'f and 70' humidity. Time for a Supernatural Tulcan Panama and some Peat's coffee.

Best, Eric -
The homburgs were well represented yesterday; that can only be a good thing. Well done, gentlemen!

Bright sunny morning and in the mid 90s. Since it's Felt Hat Day I decided to wear this Northwest Hat Co. silverbelly with copper ribbon. This is the first time wearing this hat that I shamelessly plagiarized from Doug aka @Tukwila. I would feel bad about it if I didn't like it so much. BTW I will be switching back to straw this afternoon.

Doesn't seem to make people happier though. According to the World Happiness Report (yes, there is such a thing) the top four countries are Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. :)

Thank you so much, Marcel. That is most informative. I've often wondered about it. Are the Baldis Dutch based?
I picked mine up from Stefan a couple of years ago. Here are a few pics of it on.
