Thanks fellas! Ed's (@Desert dog) daughter does beadwork, but this one is a Gayle Green with a Jimmy Begay slide. She does hatbands for O'Farrell and others. We've know Gayle for a few years and my wife has known Jimmy for nearly forty years (he made our original wedding bands).

Beautiful work. Do these two have online shops on their own? Is Begay a Navajo name?

I had promised Stefan to open the boxes of hats with long hair

Here is the first of the series

Barbisio Titan size 60 or 7 1/2 US made, probably, in the sixties

The color is "Marron" and the felt is Beaver, a rarity for the European hat making. Soft enough and with another consistency compared to long hairs in rabbit or hare

It is clearly a product of the highest quality and appropriate price. Here I wore it in diffused light and with some rays of sunlight to give light to an already bright felt of his own

The brim was snap down, but it is very nice even with brim ups
Thanks for your recents likes and kind words
Buona domenica!

Good morning folks. The beaded hat bands, conversions, longhair hats, gorgeous vintage and modern hats of late have been spectacular. Thanks for sharing.

Today's relative heat wave, 20'f without a wind, finds me doing outside chores in a VS fedora with a gill ribbon treatment. No jacket required for chores - so far. The VS (blue/gray) blue-smoke beaver felt is a fav hue of mine.

It looks so soft and luxurious Michael. You look all set for a Bergwanderung!
Thanks Red. I have to settle for hills around here, but then again I guess I've always favored hills to mountains for anything except a view.

Real nice, Michael!

Thanks D. You were looking good in the tux again.

I haven't had this Dallas on for awhile.

With the usual Harris Tweed for a day of lounging at home.

Sounds like I might need rain gear and hat for tomorrow's outing.
Have a good one,
Michael
