What size whisky jug do you use for your pics? 1 gal, 2 gal? Went through the Museum of Appalachia a few years back and Ill swear they had hundreds of jugs from dang near everyone that ever put their juice in a jug! Some really cool looking stoneware. Its makes for a great hat display!

Absolutely beautiful Stratoliner you posted this morning Rick ! I love it when I find a hat in that kinda condition. No markings on that jug but I sat it next to a gallon milk jug and it appears to be a close match. So there you go...

I never know which hat is gonna holler at me when I hit the floor in the morning . This stingy brim long hair Chocolate Brown fedora with tone on tone brim edge binding from Champ should be just the ticket as we have cooler temps and a cloudy day ahead of us.
Hope y'all have a good 'un !

We went to a concert at a local winery, Vino Godfather. The band was really great, a local Tom Petty tribute band called Petty Theft.

I watched the owner of this 1955 Cadillac park this beauty, I asked if I could take a selfie with his car and he said "sure, hop in". I was NOT expecting that!
Oh yeah, the hat... a Stetson Panama.

Thanks! Im going to to see how many whisky jugs are buried in the outbuildings of the East Texas Baptists around here... Im seeing a fair number on ebay, but theyre either a $400 collectable piece, or a $75 jug with $100 shipping lol... I do believe Ill be looking local for one. May be time to plan a trip back up around Knoxville to visit family and find one up there

I really love the flatter brim Open Roads... Definately a Stratoliner-ish vibe. I just cant do the LBJ style with the brim up all around in felt ( I like it with my Hemps, but to me it looks wierd on my head in a felt)

I would like to share some hats I wore the last 2 days.

Stetson Whippet (green)

Morning cold brew hat was a Stetson Turf Club.

Knox Westlite hat for some yard chores.

Stetson Royal DeLuxe blue fedora.

An early morning walkabout in a

A Mallory was aperfect pairing with cold brewed coffee.

An Emerson fedora was just the ticket for an errand and enjoying more coffee.

I sprayed the underbrush with anti-mosquito chemicals in prep for cutting the lawn later today. A Panama Hats Direct hat was just the ticket.

Cheers, Eric -

Wow.

One of my earlier conversions. '60s era Bradford Westerner that I converted to a thin ribbon fedora.

Excuse the poor indoor lighting....

A little Rock A Billy from Elvis and The Stray Cats...

"Let's Play House", Stray Cats...

Elvis' recorded version...

Another stupendous Sunday selection, Stefan! By sheer chance, the order of the first three matches my rankings for favorites this week: Penumbra, Barbisio, and Mossant. All awesome!!

Thanks, Mark.

An 80 degree summer day. Today, I am wearing one of my Champ fedoras with their Kasmir Finish. It was made for Arthur's Men's Shop, owned by Arthur A. Schalon and located at 308 Watson Street in Ripon, Wisconsin from the early 1950s to the late 1970s. Based on the hat details, it probably dates towards the later years of the store's existence.

Thank you buddy!

Stetson 3X Beaver Quality with Selv-Edge in Moss Green got the call to action as I was headed out the door for a few errands this morning.

 

[RickP]

One of the former cowboy conversions gets the duty this morning. Not nearly as soft or nice of felt as an older Stetson, but its sure not embarrassed to sit right next to a nicer lid.
