Thin ribbon Sunday continues at my house.

Raking around some shrubs found me wearing a vintage Stetson Stratoliner with a 2 1/2" brim. This hat shows some patina on the felt and has a bit more "sahara" hue to it. Hard, sweaty work and I dried the sweat, treated it and brushed the hat. It is sitting on a block drying out.

Holy moly it was breakfast time. I grilled buffalo for tacos and caramelized some pears and topped with ricotta cheese. I switched to a vintage Stetson Stratoliner for my grill work. I am staying with silverbelly felt hues for breakfast.

My wife remarked that the hats are the same. I nodded and said they are only a bit different. This was an avoidance of the question of how come I need 2 hats that are "nearly" the same. Once the breakfast tacos and carmelized pears were on the table all discussions of hats evaporated. The meal was terrific.

Cheers on a thin ribbon Sunday, Eric -
Love that Thin Ribbon, Eric. Nice one.

Two hat Sunday for me. Tonak for services (same one I wore for Easter, but I forgot to take a photo in all the excitement).

Afternoon temps in the low 80’s meant straw debut. An old Mexican Formosan to do some gate repairs. I’ve had this hat for close to 30 years, but have never worn it much. I bought it out of necessity at a strawberry festival, which I was unprepared for the spring heat.

Celebrating 24 years (actually 23 years, 363 days, but Tuesday is a work day). Etsuko in her Hornskov...

...and me in my new-to-me 1960’s Huckel - the last of our hats from @Daniele Tanto - and my personal favourite. View attachment 325959 View attachment 325960 View attachment 325964
I wanted to put my hat on this fella, but Etsuko said that wasn’t the done thing.

These lads were jostling for the best view of the hats (or so I choose to believe).

Congratulations! Pretty lady in a pretty hat. Liking the long hair too!
