German week 5 comes to a close with day 7 (weeks usually come to a close with day 7).
Konsul Antilop in hellbraun (could well be made by Rockel)

Haven't posted all my German hats (there are a few stowaways here and there), but it's a good time to close German week. Let's do it with a two hat day.

Thank you, Stefan. I've been neglecting my FL duties of late, but hope to be more dutiful in the future :)

Some great hats you've been posting during my hiatus.

Great to see you, Steve. I was ready to form a search party. Hope you are doing well and drop by here more often again. looking great under the OR by the way.

Tough morning run. My body and mind was protesting the entire run. It brings to mind the much quoted story: I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. Muhammad Ali. Cooled down and was channeling Champion by wearing a Champ.

Yesterday's physical and mental refreshing walk found me wearing a Gannon (granite beaver felt with charcoal trimming).

3 nice ones, but for me, that last one is covet worthy!

Super looking Habig, Steve. The bow is the icing on the cake.

Fantastic catalogue, too. Great find.

View attachment 238868 40s Resistol on this beautiful, sunny Sunday

What a gorgeous day is right! Excellent hat that coordinates with your attire this morning.

Sunday morning and a 150th anniversary Stetson RD Racine.

A Sport jacket and hat is a great look. Looking sharp this morning.

Grocery run - Optimo Panama.

View attachment 238872

Good to see your post David. It is a glorious panama.

Who is that man behind the mask? I do feel ill at ease behind my sunglasses, bedecked in a fedora and mask going out in public. For me it conjurs up notions of a costumed Shadow. "As you sow evil, so shall you reap evil! Crime does not pay... The Shadow knows!"

Cheers, Eric -
