Looks great to me, Bill. What makes you doubt it?

I think it sits a bit high on my head but a little stretch would correct that. I’m just not to sure about this plantation style. Which is weird as I love the Brent Black Monte Carlo and my Art Fawcett.

I know it's supposed to be Milan Monday but I just couldn't wait:

I like the shape and style of it, Bill. Suits you, too.

I think you should stick with it, Bill. It really does suit you.

Its a BB, what's not to love Bill? You certainly have a great selection to choose from, nice to switch things up a bit with styles that stretch our comfort zones. I feel that way with my short brim hats.

Haven't worn the ol' Daltoliner in a while. Today's as good as any.

Great hat. I hope you had a fly rod.

Today is take your Texas Hi-Roller to work day. Had to do an estate inspection and roof survey out in the Hill Country. Love these jobs where I can send up the drone.

Looks like you’re in my neck of the Texas Hill Country. I see the Cedar looking over your shoulder. I hope you’ve been enjoying the cooler days and lower humidity. Feels like they’ve just about come to an end. Safe travels.

I really like this one Michael.

Thanks Bill. I really like the color and shape on this one, too. I thought the BB plantation looked great on you.

That's a fine weave on that one, Stefan. Looks super.

Thanks,

Early morning excursion in an Adam Pacesetter. "Executive Quality" no less. Advertised as "Aqua Shed." I chose the bright hued felt to brighten a morning when I am feeling fatigued. It brightened my spirits -worked.

I went over to the local coffee shop for some freshly roasted coffee in my Stetson Stratoliner. I thought it would be nice to share the box it resides in. I was sweaty from dog walk, a bit disheveled from carefully shoveling the ashes out of the fire pit by the lake and still unshaven before I went. This hat (and a clean shirt of course) made me public presentable.

Home and cleaning up for the day. I have energy, coffee, shaven and clean - life is good.

Best, Eric -

Back to boating today with this open weave Stetson, late 1930s to 1940. The crown is firm, the brim is flexible with a gentle upswing to the flange. The sweatband stitching is hidden which is a lovely finishing touch.

Wow!

Sharp today. Understand about the heat sir. It is mucho caliente with uncomfortable humidity this morning in Minnesota.

Both great hats, Eric. I want to see how the Stratoliner fits in that box. I have one of those boxes with no insert in it and it seems just altogether too narrow to fit a hat into.

The brim of the hat folds in and the hat appears like a slightly open clam shell. I keep this hat in the box as the felt is malleable and will flatten out when out of the box. I do like the brim snap and fedora swoop to my Strats. We only have to look to Alan for inspiration for wearing a hat with curved side brim.

I was reading thru the Stratoliner threads this morning to see if I could identify when the "clamshell" boxes were stopped being distributed by Stetson and could not find info. I am not sure if 50's and 60's Stratoliners came in a like box.

Thank you, Michael. It's a bit heavy on the shellac, but still works.
