Thanks Ken. Nice write up. I suspect it is a very nicely felted hat. Resistol did make some very nice felted hats back in the day. Often under-appreciated in my opinion.
That one is a looker!!

Thank B, don't know how to describe the felt on this one. It is so light and thin, but easily bashed. It has a glow to the felt I don't see on any of my other hats. Weird, huh?

Alan, not only are your fine hats a joy to behold your staging and photography are equally impressive. You seem to have a great area where natural light is abundant and a keen eye for how to adjust them to capture just the right light.

Super cool hat, Jeff. You wouldn't be a musician by any chance would you [emoji6]

Is that shade of green in the photos true to colour?

Ha, thanks! How’d you guess? I think the shade is pretty close. It’s a moss green western weight rabbit felt. The tan ribbon makes it pop, I think.

Good day! Yesterday evening I was hatted in a vintge Stetson Stratoliner. This 50's version has nearly 2 7/8" brim. Great hat for a summer evening.

This morning I changed out the bar on my chainsaw. I was struggling with a long bar and sized down. Picking up supplies and the change in a coated straw hat.

This afternoon I have hot/humid weather to tolerate when I fell a pine tree. Cheers.

The Vintage Strat would be great on any evening, Eric. Fantastic green colour on that one.

My only 7X CB Stetson. I got it cheap because of some moth damage and the SB was in poor shape. Thanks to @Rockwater I corrected most of the moth damage with a needle. I replaced the SB so the collector value is diminished, but I don't care. I hope I can find another sometime.

I like the brim flange on that hat a lot, Scott. It is a hat I read only superlatives about here on the lounge. Maybe I should start looking for one.

Wore this wonderful ca. 1930s grey heather Karl Misik (Kami) Special this evening.

I thought saying farewell to my youngest daughter after spending a wonderful holiday week together deserved a special hat.

That one does fit the bill, Steve. Love that felt.
