Since Tapatalk no longer plays well with the lounge, I haven't posted photos

But for my daily 5 mile hike, it's always my Akubra Banjo Peterson... For just about all other occasions, I wear my Stetson Roadster that's been converted a bit. See the Roadster section to see pics of the conversion.

Hey all!
Just thought I'd drop in and say hi to everyone. And show off my new vintage Strat!

Beautiful Strat, John. It’s good to see you and hear that you’re doing well.

Stylepark Black/Charcoal Heather

I haven’t yet replaced the sweatband in this old Stylepark, but this overcast fairly stagnant day gave me a chance to wear it for a grocery run today. The felt on this hat is very unusual. It is extremely soft and light weight... it is fairly thin but not incredibly so. I originally thought from the photos it would be wool. But it does not feel like most wool hats I’ve handled Or fur felts for that matter. Maybe some combination of wool and fur... I do not know. What I can say it shapes with incredible ease and holds just about any shape within a fraction of an inch and it does this without hardly any feel of stiffener whatsoever.

The 2 inch brim is adorned with spiral stitching and a very tight overwelt edge with tiny stitching. It creates an almost cavanagh like appearance. I believe this spiral stitching also ads function of additional support of the very soft felt for the brim.

The Stylepark tag inside indicates it was manufactured in the Camden, New Jersey Stylepark factory. This factory was sold December of 1941 to a chemical company as reported by NY Times

https://www.nytimes.com/1941/12/10/...emical-firm-camden-concern-gets-property.html

So it appears this hat would have been produced 1941 or earlier. It does seem to have 30s proportions with its tall crown and shorter brim. Eventually I will have the sweatband replaced and return it to full service.

Love the straw!

Thanks Dave. I really like the golden color on this palm They are nice hats for the $35 or $40 that they sell for. It was a nice day here and I have a new vintage-ish touring bike to try out. So I was dressed for some riding around town. Got in 35 miles or so. Fun times.

Can you share a pic of the bike Michael? Nice straw at that price. May have to check that out.

Beautiful Strat, John. It’s good to see you and hear that you’re doing well.

Thanks Brent! I was stoked to finally find one I could afford!
Hope you are well too.

Thanks. I tip my hat and lift that xx to you and yours and celebrate the arrival of a new one. Good job, Alan. They couldn’t have done it without you.

Another day in my Akubra Cattleman. Also day four trying to rescue a love bird.

BTW. With all the resources nowadays with online rescues, buy and sell groups and interest groups. There should be no reason to let a domesticated bird go into the wild..... just saying.

Lovebirds don’t belong out here.

You got more Xs going on there than an algebra test, Cuz, but it sure looks like a good solution to the summer time heat we've had lately. Enjoy and stay well. Great Stetson!

Cool beyond words, Bob. Both literally and figuratively. Absolute classic summertime gear. And tunes.
