Very nice Robert. And throwing down the gauntlet with your bank manager’s attire :)
Lookin' razor-sharp, as always, Robert.
Such generous compliments gentlemen, I passed them onto Tina, who became her bashful self when I said: They like the shirt that you made for me." I take her reply, "Aw shucks," as a thank you.
Tina is still recovering from her recent heart surgery, you made her smile gentlemen and that's so heart-warming. So, once again, thank you both, much appreciated.

Sticking with stingies, this well-worn wonder from Peters Brothers Texas Hatters. Bob Jessee of Black Sheep Hat Works patched a previously prominent moth bite on the crown.

Happy Stingymas!

Back from the morning runs... remembered something else so back out I go. Mr Moose gets to go to a ride to the butcher (I get the prime rib and the owner usually fixes Moose up with a big bone or two.).

Grabbed the Akubra Metropolitan off the wall... it hasnt been out for a while. 2" brim and super nice, light dressy hat. One of my all time favorites

I don't have too many hats from modern makers, but after reading positive feedback from Bob (@BobHufford) and Jeff (@bowlerman) I pulled the trigger on a Texas Hatters. The combination lords hat and bow got me:

Not sure where to go from here. Timmy's (@TimmyV) Tijuana the other day reminded me I need to debut my grizzly Gay Prince clone. Joe (@Blare) is in the throngs of Stingymas. And then Daniele (@Daniele Tanto) and Stefan (@steur) are showing the love for the black hats. I guess if I go black I'll never go back.
Very cool lords hat. I have 2 lords hats on order from 2 other hatters. If they look half as good as that I will be happy, but not as happy as you!

After giving the Stetson wool some love and attention yesterday, it gets to go out for coffee this morning. The curl made a dramatic improvement both in appearance and it structure ( the brim is actually staying straight now lol)

Its a Stetson Montes 3x wool. For being a lesser hat, it ended up being a decent looking lid.

Thinking it needs a Buffalo Nickel concho hatband

10X Bradford Las Vegas model in Silver Grey originally sold by Pecan Valley Western Wear & Saddlery in San Saba, Texas got the call to action today.
( Try saying that 3 times fast.lol.)

* feeling kinda tired this morning because I sat my alarm for 3:30A.M. this morning because there was a hat on Ebay over in Australia that I wanted to place a " last 30 second bid " on. Worked out well and I not only won the auction but I got a nice old 3X Stetson fedora for cheap !! Yes sir....my kinda deal !! Last 2 pix are a teaser for y'all.
