Today.....again continuing on in the big black hats i don’t wear because i look dumb and don’t have the stones to wear them theme.
Stetson No.1 stars and a red bow.
However, a story must be told!
Just now....a smokin hot neighbor’s daughter with legs to the moon walked by and piped up “i love how you’re rockin that hat Bowen”! Hell’s bells i hollered up “come here” and threw it on her for size. She’s a 10 i mean a 73/8 and she said we should have a hat tea party. She wears hats. Sucker i am, she will be getting a hat. Lol
Oh crap, her Mom just walked by, like i said “too the moon”!! I think i died and went to heaven!
This is why i sit on my porch!!
Be well. Bowen
That's some story to go with some hat, Bowen. The best I get is elderly ladies complimenting me wearing a hat like their father used to wear! Then again: I don't have a porch...

Pleasant 68 degree morning. A little light yard duty and coffee with the Tatton Baird. The dark rich chocolate brown is the more accurate color. ;)

Beautiful, Ken.
The weather is changed in the netherlands, rain, cloudy and cooler. Today my stingy Wegener in black. Can anyone tell me how old this hat could be? View attachment 183094 View attachment 183095 View attachment 183096 View attachment 183097
Looks seventies to me, Marcel.

Good to see that one, Max. I should wear mine more often.

I love the summer, I love high temps. Luckily though, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn means felt time. The temperature dropped below 20°C today, so it was a good opportunity to wear this ca. 1950s Peschel Chevret. Haven't worn it for a while, and it's one that deserves head time.
Have a good week, fellow FL'ers.

If it shrinks a size you can send the prodigal home, Steve. Such a lovely hat!
Hey all!
The Lee Silver Label on a nice, cool afternoon.

A perfect hat Michael. My favorite from your collection. Something about that unique shade of blue.
Thanks Doug. It's probably my favorite too. Love that straw cap you are wearing today. And great photo of you and Mrs. Tukwila.

Excellent color, great looking hat Michael.
Thanks Ken. I like the short brim milan you have on today. My milan collection didn't get much wear this summer, probably because i was favoring the bigger brimmed panamas and the Hopokas. Maybe next year.

Awesomeness in felt form!
Thanks Stefan. It is a gem.

Mercury Imperial today. This is a perfect example of how my custom band blocks can stretch a 57 into a 58.5 without distorting it or tearing the sweatband. I just use plenty of Pecard Antique Leather Conditioner a couple of days before I put it in the block, and then when I am about to start. Then after a couple of weeks, voilá!

Thanks Stefan for sending it my way. Rest assured, I will not be shrinking this Peschel. Sorry my friend [emoji4]
