Dinner & drinks in our hotel room thanks to the virus, but it does mean we can indulge in another of Etsuko’s favourites...sparkling wine and strawberries.

What a hat Reggie

Thanks, Joe. Your Stevens Pacesetter is a pretty cool hat. That ribbon and back bow is over the top.

Happy Birthday, Etsuko, looking lovely in her Maxim. Your Honskov looks fantastic. It is elegant yet has a commanding presence.

Thanks, Reggie. Etsuko appreciates that.
I do like my Hornskov - one of the few hats in my collection that deserves its place amongst the magnificence I see every day in the Lounge, but it has too much presence for most of my wardrobe. I can’t wear it as often as I would like to.

Sorry to hear about the moth holes, Joe. I can understand why you're not too worrried about them though. Who will be looking at holes with a ribbon like that? Love it.

Stevens Pacesetter - California Royalist
Silverbelly felt
4 1/2 crown as shaped (about 5 open)
2 inch tan w/ charcoal spotted striped grosgrain ribbon with back bow
2 1/8 rolled underwelt brim

I had inquired with the seller regarding the Moth holes in the felt on this Silverbelly Stevens Pacesetter. They assured me that they did not go all the way through the felt. Turns out they were incorrect as a few of them do. But I’m not too worried about it as it was the really awesome ribbon that caught my eye and I got it at the right price. The ribbon is a super cool and unusual medium tan with charcoal speckled stripes fashioned in a back bow. In certain lights there is a pink or lavender tone to it. But in direct sunlight it’s definitely more tan. The felt on the crown is super soft. Almost so much so it didn’t want to hold shape at first... but after a good brushing which released clouds of dust... it kinda sprung to life. The felt is a very nice Silverbelly shade I don’t see as much on dress hats. The aforementioned mothing is a little more than I preferred a few spots entirely through the felt on the crown. The largest of which is hidden in the pinch along with more under the brim. I had taken more photos of the mothing... but for some reason They did not save. I may use this as an opportunity to attempt a moth divot repair. Either way it’s a fun little hat with a real unusual whimsical ribbon and it fits rather nicely.

Thanks Steve... I’ve now decided to go with... it’s the speckled pattern from the ribbon spread onto the felt. How avant-garde :D:p
