Have as much fun as you can and don't spend your whole "public service" paycheck in one place!

Well, my number came up....off for jury selection I go in my favorite straw. You guessed it, that's not my happy face today. The whole morning will be sitting in a crowded room with about 200 other potential jurors, Austin is a pretty big town and the Texas justice system is a very bizarre process.

Nice. I picked up one similar, Steve, it should be here Friday.

While still not hot enough for the month of July as I would like it, it was still too warm for a felt. Ergo, this very modern Mayser Panama Straw. Looking forward to receiving it's Boater cousin from Holland [emoji4]

If anyone can bring a hat back to life again Stefan, it's you. I saw that in the very first hat I bought from you. The crushed Stetson fedora/trilby you rescued and turned into a very nice pork pie.
My only wish would be, please take before pictures [emoji4]

Thanks, Steve. It might well be the part I like best about collecting vintage hats. I'll try to remember taking 'before' shots.

I've had a number of sewn wheat grass braid straws that have a ventilation section hidden behind the pug. This one was well worn - I removed the ribbon and wear it sometimes on rainy, steamy days. Do you have any milan hats with this construction?

Nice one, Steve. It's brother is going to be a well-travelled hat, from its origins in Ecuador, through Germany to Holland and now onwards to Denmark...
