Hey Stefan:
As always your hat parade inspires. Especially the....to long a list!
I think asking a colorblind man what color green his hat is, is a bit of a trick question. Lol
So....let me tell you what color green your gorgeous Brummel’s is.
I never was a green hat guy since the USMC 47 years ago for obvious reasons until i spied a gorgeously hued Super Barbisio Chamois. I sweated that auction and prevailed. I liken the hue to a muted Olive Drab without the shine yet darker than a well worn field jacket. In other words it says, i ain’t a “boot” but i ain’t a “old salt” yet either.
You probably can’t see that color but it’s called perfect! I’ve never seen a better green. So there, that’s what color it is, the preferred color of the Corps.
Wearing it today.
Pics include some colors for contrast.
Be well. Bowen
Thanks, Bowen. I think the operative word for me here is "muted". Some greens just have that "in your face" quality to them which I dislike. The Barbisio looks gorgeous and I would like to meet the person who did their shark gill bows and shake their hand!

Very nice Portis Michael. I love the 2 that I have.
Thanks Tim. I've very happy with it. I have one other Portis. i think it's a very old one with a short brim and a tall crown. Not in good shape. They seem to be nice hats and I've been wanting a hat with a wide brim binding for a long time now.

Thanks,
Michael

Vintage Stetson wide brim that I converted a few years ago. I like this lighter ivory color felt . Not white but has grey flecks in felt when you look at it closely. I added the silk ribbon and the bow end curls up naturally.
