Good morning hat folks.

Yesterday evening I was frolicing in a 30's Brock hat.

An early morning walkabout was enjoyed under the brim of a vintage Stetson Stratoliner.

I enjoyed some coffee on while gallavanting about the yard. I changed to a Stetson OR 3X.

I filled the bird feeders, picked up the beach and heard some loud noise. I caught a pic of some neighborhhod turkeys feeding with my camera. A Gannon Wanderer (silverbelly) was my chore hat.

Grocery store and hardware store errands I checked off the list this morning. A Gannon Wanderer (bone beaver felt) was my driving hat.

Tina & I went to the carnival at Ringwood yesterday, we met my tailor whilst there, he loves it that I always show off his work underneath one of my fedora hats. He's bemused that I use a milliner to hand make my hats. When I told him that a cordwainer makes my shoes he admitted that he didn't know that a shoemaker was a cordwainer.

Knowing that my tailor is a member of The Worshipful Company of Merchant Tailors of the City of London, I pointed out to him that The Company of Cordwainers is one of the seven ancient guilds which still exist in the 21st century. He was also impressed to learn that The British Hat Guild is the national association of professional milliners, hatters and headwear designers.

He texted me this photo that he took with his phone yesterday. Cell phone cameras really don't do justice to the subject so to show you what his photo should depict in the correct colour here is the shoes that my cordwainer made. The hat from my milliner. The blazer that is my tailor's superb work and not forgetting the trousers that Tina made.

Always classic, gentlemen.

Gannon. This hat holds the distinction of being the first Gannon with a vented crown and the first with three rows of brim stitching.

Hey all!
Out and about on a beautiful afternoon with this late 50's mystery Milan porker.

Have a great day!

This is a style I like very much - very reminiscent of not only Sinatra, but Summer wear on the Confident, All-American Male Authority Figure type y see in early 1950s-era American public information films, promotions, and ads in the period. It would be great if Stetson did line of these akin to the hemp Stratoliners of recent times.
