Christmas shopping. I had to get a shot of that sign over my head. Mr. Bubble on Bubble St. But It's not really on Bubble St.
That big gold sign reminds me of the album cover from WAR, Why Can't We Be Friends, kinda sorta.

Love the look of that hat. What kind or brim is that? Snap or more of a subtle cowboy curl? Width of brim?
Looks fantastic

Still staying stupendously stingy under this 2nd Quality private label Dobbs 20. Set for the season of StingyMas! 24486E00-11E3-4E20-9085-FAFFC663EC78.jpeg 42A2B013-DE99-421D-806A-D9B9E26850B6.jpeg 945786F0-341B-4E92-ABA6-BA9363CCEDE5.jpeg E95DEF7A-5F5B-4278-8556-566C4AC8D2C2.jpeg FDF43BD1-BDA7-426F-A3CA-0B46D8C22B3A.jpeg 50D1E475-F27C-496B-8A3C-0141BCDCF2E4.jpeg

Added edit for sharing some advice…. I have gained weight and my doc says it’s ok to blame the pandemic. Fine. I’ve still gained weight, and that’s not good. Especially since my hats are beginning to not fit. Yes, it’s a fact that with significant gain or loss of weight, your hat size can go up or down. I have experienced (head) shrinkage when I lost enough weight to satisfy my daughter for her wedding. Now I’m here to warn everyone about head expansion! Keep your hat stretcher handy for the holiday.

Hi Johnny, This hat is a custom by Mike at Northwest Hats. It's pure beaver western weight, so it's nice and firm. The brim is a tad over 3", If I remember correctly it's 3 1/8". The crown is 5 1/2" open and is designed to stay open.
By far one of my favorites.
Thanks for the likes.

What's that thing you're reading? I have a vague recollection of doing the same at one point in my life.

Looking good Charlie. I have experienced this same phenomenon. Dropping about 65lbs changed hat size from approx 7 or 7 1/8 to 6 7/8 or 7 (with occasional 6 3/4) However as the weight returned.. I still seem to be able to wear the smaller ones. I may have to check some of those 3/4

Hey there Charlie! If anyone was to look up the meaning of 'Cool' in the dictionary, there would be a picture of you! Looking cool as usual, buddy!

On the Seventh Day of StingyMas…

The Crofut and Knapp Coronet Fifteen sporting what I believe the stingiest brim in my collection at 1 1/2 inches. What it lacks in brim is made up for in features like a Cavanagh edge and wind cord. Though one could argue with a brim this short would you ever need a wind trolley?

Well, thank you kindly, Terry, but it takes one to know one my friend! We’re all doing our best to hold it down.

On a belated note, it’s good to see you up and dancing about again. At our age, everybody we know is getting replacement parts, fast and furious. Get back in the saddle!

Beautiful job as usual on the Bradford, Bud!

Thank you Charlie! Getting old is no picnic, for sure! Someone once said that it takes courage to be old. I'm finding that to be true. I've got one knee replacement done, and the other one to go! We're falling apart Charlie!

Good thing they’re getting so good at putting us back together. You’ll be good for at least another 200,000 miles.
