Stetson Nutria Quality with a Brave Star Selvage-Cone Mills denim face mask on the daily Masked Corona Crawl at days end.
Five mile walk down the hill and along the coastal path into the darkness with clouds, wind, and a light rain.

You know i love that hat Jonesy.
The wind won’t blow that brim around. Snug it down and the wind and weather there doesn’t stand a chance against a good old Nutria.
Showing the natives how it’s done!!

Last evening I watched the sun set in a Stetson Fifteen.

This morning I watched the sun rise in a Australian Stetson Whippet. After a dog soiree I headed out for a long jaunt in the woods.

This afternoon lunch was had on the deck in a VS Executive (bluemist beaver felt). Lunch was more colorful with our local Scarlet Taningier contributing it's songs.

Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

I love a Cavanagh fedora that Anthony Amodeo sold in his memorable hat sell-off a couple of years ago. I wasn't able to acquire it because he had already sold it to @scottyrocks, from The Fedora Lounge, and have since bitterly regretted my tardiness.

I asked Scott directly if he would sell it to me, and he replied he wouldn't "even if hell freezes over", so I have tried to find the same Cavanagh ever since.

Today I wore my Knox Twenty for the first time, and just realized why I like it so much: both hats are nearly identical in color (although I can't get my camera to show it accurately) and proportions, and the felt seems to have the same texture, softness, and malleability. They even have the same bash! No wonder Anthony liked it!
The last pic is of Anthony's Cav.
and the rest are mine.
So, my search is over!
Oh! And I just added to pics of the paper tags under the sweatband. @scottyrocks, if you are there, are there any tags under yours?

They’re both beautiful, and yours is every bit the equal of Moon’s.

Borsalino Colombo XX - Mogano (Mahogany) c/ Assab (Cord)

C0096CE1-60BF-4993-ACE7-F75ED3BFD886.jpeg


Borsalino Colombo XX - Mogano (Mahogany) c/ Assab (Cord)
Incredibly petable velvety smooth finish
4 3/4 crown
1 3/4 overwelt double stitched brim
1 3/4 super supple leather sweatband
Matching corded hat band

This Borsalino Colombo was my very first Borsalino and with its luxurious velveteen smooth finish it remains one of my favorite hats. It is a hat that without a doubt deserved a spot in the 30 Days to 30 Hats... yet here we are. This hat definitely takes in some trachten cues with its corded band (c/ Assab) and slightly tapered (though not by much) crown. It’s fairly short brim at 1 3/4 is made up for in just about every other aspect of this hat. The felt is super soft and of course very petable and smooth in a beautiful Magano (Mahogany) Reddish dark chocolate Brown or dark coffee color. It is very dense and warm in winter. The 1 3/4 (oddly it appears to the eye much taller) sweat is soft and supple. And it also features the super cool “Colombo” liner which kinda reminds me of the Knox flying cloud. What else can I say about a hat that if it were a half inch wider on the brim would be a grail type hat for many.

thanks to Stefan for the info on the color and cord name.

Anthony is a smart smart man!


Edit... SCOTTY is a smart smart man... what was Anthony thinking!
