Good morning WHAYW folks. Under the brim of a Gannon (charcoal beaver felt) for an early morning saunter.

It warmed up to 26'f this morning.

A spot of coffee to cool down from the saunter under the brim of a Knox Vagabound.

It is a cool Spring morning and I donned a Filson Mackinaw cap for a quick yard/walkway/driveway chore.

Cavanagh Bowler - Derby
Tobacco Brown - Fawn Felt
5 1/4 crown
1 inch reddish brown grosgrain ribbon
Approx 2 inch brim with d’Orsay curl
2 inch to front 2 inch to curl on sides 2 1/2 to edge

@BobHufford pointed out this brown Cavanagh bowler to me some weeks back. The asking price at the time was more than I was wanting to go. A bit of patience paid off when after a few weeks it hadn’t sold, I sent the seller a modest offer. After a small counter offer the hat was on its way. @steur half jokingly, raised the concern hoping it was in fact brown and not just bad photography. I can happily confirm for Stefan it is indeed brown in color… more so a lighter tobacco brown… or being that the last two letters on the torn price tag are wn.. maybe Fawn? Speaking of the torn price tag it ends in 5.00… I’m guessing maybe original price of $15 on what I’d estimate to be a mid to later 50s Cavanagh that was sold at Meyer’s of Lexington, KY. Sadly the golden size 7 size tag that was shown unattached in the sellers photos did not appear to have made the journey with the hat. This hat makes a fine addition to my derby stable. Thanks again Bob for the tip off.

Glad that it turned out to be exactly what you were hoping for. Must have been an extra bit of relief:D. Excellent looking bowler. The ...wn could of course just be brown; nothing wrong with that.

First trout of the season and the first outing of my SunBody Tall Gus:

Later, I took two of my daughters to a friends gravel quarry pond and we had a blast catching bass and bluegill and crappie on ultralight spin tackle.

My 21 year old daughter won our bet by catching the first bass.
Great photos, Brent. Hats are one thing, but happy memories with family are what count.

Indeed it could. LOL. I’m thinking the lighter tanner colored brown had me thinking something more “exotic“ ;)

thank you Stefan. Happy to have this one in the stable.
