Out and about Western style today in my 4x OR. A man sure walks tall with one of these on his head.
Howdy and thanks again, my friend Bob View attachment 226211 View attachment 226213

That looks great on you.
I have really grown fond of wearing cattleman creased ORs. For the longest time I wouldn't wear them because they look better brim up and I wasn't comfortable with wearing hats brim up. Now I love it. Bama helped me with overcome that with his daily showings. And heck, I live in Texas, you gotta wear Open Roads sometimes!

No students at school these days, so I get home at a reasonable hour. Went for a walk with my wife to see all the flowers in bloom. I wore my new to me Christys.

Great photos.

Wearing a grey Resistol Stagecoach that I converted last year. It was originally a 6 7/8 that I blocked up to a 7 1/4.

Brim trimmed to 2 5/8 inches with my handy dandy rounding jack by Rick Walker, (humanshoes), and with my equally handy dandy band block by another fellow Lounger, "Rockwater"...

I purchased my first Panama from Ole many years ago in Old Town San Juan. Great little shop. I still have the hat, but it really does need reshaping.

What do you think of their hats Jim ? I was thinking of ordering one from their site for my first Panama. I don’t need anything too crazy expensive, but I would like at least a handmade one from Latin America.

Good day folks. I hope my post finds you safe, strong and happy on the eve of Good Friday.

Yesterday I was out in the yard wearing the "newest" Stetson Bantam I have. It is a glorious light hued felt that can brighten an otherwise challenging day.

This morning's dog jaunt found me wearing a Stetson Eagle Vita-Felt. The hat shows some of it's age, but is a glorious felt.

I headed out for some of my local roasted coffee. I am not used to wearing a mask and wore it upside down.

A long walk in a "white-ish" felt hued Dalton had me enjoying the bigger brim dimensions in the snow flurries and wind.

I risked mine and my families life this late morning as I went out to get groceries. I thought I should sport a Stetson Bantam for this adventure. Mask and gloves not showcased.

I can't give you an informative answer. I bought that hat about a decade ago while in PR on vacation. He has a little shop in Old Town. I knew nothing about hats at the time I got it, but he had many other types of straws, including the Carlos Santana line. I paid about $65 at the time.

I did't realize he had a website.

That is a great looking Panama.
Thank you. I think I need to work on getting the up curl of the brim a little more even, but I am really liking it.

.
So do the Panama's get shelved on the crown as well? From what I was able to view on youtube it looked like a quaint little shop. Inside the hat was penciled 7 1/4 (a wee bit large for me) and $400, so if ole actually penciled that in, I guess I got my $45 worth, of course I tend to think i did regardless.
