Thanks, Matt. It is something special alright.Stefan, as always one more beautiful than the other. But for me, this time the Lontra Visone tops them.

Congratulations, anniversaries are well worth celebrating, even though marriage comes in for a lot of fun poking. Tina & I will celebrate our fifty-fifth anniversary in a few weeks time. I have something rather special lined up.Early anniversary celebrations happening this weekend, since I’ll be busy at work on the actual day.
My Dobbs Homburg in navy with purple trimmings got the call up.
Grateful to Brent for sending this my way.

Agreed about the Edgewood!View attachment 505902
Had to be the Barbisio, that is, until the Edgewood came up. Save the best for last, eh Stefan?

A great array of Sunday hats, Eric. Super nice plus with the sales brochure in the Bailey box.Good morning. My morning walkabout was under the brim of a VS Executive (bluesmoke beaver gill'd hat). This hat took inspiration from the Adams Pacesetters in Executive quality.
Arriving home I sipped coffee under the brim of a Stetson Playboy Air Light. A glorious hat in minty condition. This hat is a puzzler as it has a bound brim. The Playboys I have on my hat rack do not have a bound brim. I can live with a bit of mystery.
Some yard chores in a vintage Bailey.
A sales brochure came in the hat's original box.
I have been doing errands and some chores under the brim of a Gannon Playboy.
Cheers on a Sunday, Eric -

That Playboy with the bound brim and the crown vents is perhaps my favorite of your hats, Eric. Even the sweatband is a thing of beauty. And the color—it really doesn’t get any better!Good morning.

No Stefan, it’s just called a domain awareness gap. As exampled in this pic.Thank you, Robert. While rummaging through my hats to select a new batch I came across three hats in ten minutes time I didn't know I had. This was one of them. Can it be I have too many hats? Nah, probably just a lapse in memory
The Easter 2023 is....see aboveFléchet
Loving the gills on the VS. The vent and sweat deboss on the Playboy. And the Bailey…. Well very cool to see a good old example. For being on of the few remaining original US hat companies…. Vintage ones are so few and far between.Good morning. My morning walkabout was under the brim of a VS Executive (bluesmoke beaver gill'd hat).
