Harvesting Nature's bounty under the bountiful brim of a Sunbody:
Georg Gärner Wien possibly later 1920s. I really like the smaller Form of this Wool Stiff Felt and it wears great. Georg Gärner Wien had a few retail stores and there is a factory listed but I don't have any information on their production facilities. I tend to think this Wool Stiff Felt was sourced but I can't tell the manufacturer. My other Georg Gärner Wien Stiff Felt was made by J. Heinr. Ita Wien and is a Fur Felt. I found this Stiff Felt back in 2013.
Lol. I figured that's what you actually meant.Haha—sorry, that was GREAT work, not. Grey. Are those tire tracks on that thing?
And reinstalling the facial hair?Beater Fed IV today while we install bettens on the barn addition

LOVE that Air Light Playboy!Good morning. A walkabout earlier this morning found me under the brim of a Stetson Stratoliner Premiere. Cadet Blue is striking in person.
I enjoyed my morning coffee whilst wearing a Stetson Playboy. The felt on this hat is terrific.
Morning errand to the grocery store started with me putting on a Stetson Air Light Playboy. It is unique as it has vents, very light weight felt and a bound edge. Home I started getting some black berries picked, cutting some ruhbarb, starting a pie and going back to pick a handful of red raspberries. Breakfast pie is in my future.
It is indeed "Air Light."
Cheers, Eric. -
Thanks to @BobHufford for posting this interview.
Oh fantastic, I will definitely have a listen. That Catalano interview did a lot for me - just hearing the voices from those old days is a blast, but hearing them talk about the hat culture and business is a remarkable experience.Nathan -- thanks, I also found another Stetson employee's oral history here:
