O’Farrell.

Wow, Joe! That is some MAGNIFICENT color coordination!

Thanks Mark I was really feeling it when the curtain Art/lighting shifted to a purple theme for a bit. LOL

 

[Blare]

Looks great on you! I love the crease and the slight distressing on the band and binding!

Thanks so much Bill.

Love the hat, but the eyes head to that jacket. Excellent all round.

The three O’Farrells from the other day arrived. This one fits perfectly! The two fur felts are a bit large, but I bought them for their hatbands anyway. I expected all of these to be small so I’m thrilled they went the other direction.

Panama Hats Direct - Optimo Crease
Fine weave straw
4 1/4 Crown with Optimo Crease
2 1/2 brim

Picked up this Optimo crease by Panama Hats Direct for less than a song. Needed a little bit of reshaping via sitting in the sun and a bit of steam. But I think it whipped up nicely. The straw weave is very fine… not quite as tight a weave as my finest. Weave count of course is not the only measure of quality.. you can see some tiny imperfections in the close up of the brim compared next to my vintage Muses Panama…. None the less this is one very nice hat. Not sure I love the orange colored hat band…. But these bands actually slip on and off… I checked out their website and they sell them. I might just order a few extras.

Are the dogs driving?

It'd only be fair. You give them rides.

Thanks Mark!!! Im not real comfortable with non pinch front creases.. but it’s nice having variety.

It’s been raining the last three days and I’ve been under the Gannon pure beaver all that time. This guy got a new bash yesterday - and I hope this is getting close to the final version.

It’s been an interesting adventure: I ordered a 5-3/4 inch crown and received one that ended up being 7 inches after it tapered to hell straight out of the box (see the first photo).

To be clear, Michael did offer to reblock it for me but I decided to just work with it and see what I could come up with.
This crown is the closest I have achieved to what I originally intended.

Here’s where it’s at today:

She was covering the wheel today. Part of the cost of me going to Sam’s with her.

You’re right about that.
