Back in 2011 I watched all of the Rugby World Cup at a bar in Malaysia. The Japan-NZ matchup was unforgettable. I don’t remember the final score, but it was something like 98 to 7. When Japan finally scored the whole bar broke out in cheers.

Congrats this time on what looks like a hard-won victory. I like to see the All Blacks win, but I like to see them have to fight for it.

Disney Hats - Brown Unlined
5 1/2 Crown Open (about 4 1/4 as shaped)
Oil skin crown protector
3/4 Brown Grosgrain Ribbon
2 1/4 Front - 2 1/8 Sides/Back Brim with Raw Edge

This is one of those hats that made me hit the Buy It Now button as fast as lightning. I don’t think I’ve come across an unlined summer weight Disney before and it really called out to me. In hand it has lived up to my hopes… except maybe the brim is a tad shorter than I my expectations. I suspect it is possible it met up with a rounding jack for a brim trim at sometime in its history. The brim is slightly dimensional at 2 1/4 to the front and 2 1/8 on the sides and rear. The crown is still nice and tall reaching 5 1/2 open. With its 3/4 ribbon it gives it a sort of Playboy vibe.. and I suspect with the proportions it is likely to work it’s way in as a regular in my grab and go pile.

Thanks, Nathan.
It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden on every play like I did today…maybe since that 2011 final. It truly was epic today. Ireland have been the number one team in the world for the last couple of years, and they were a hell of a tough nut to crack this time. By the end, I was both exhausted and quite emotional.

I definitely know that feeling. A favorite US football team lost a nailbiter a few weeks ago. It was heartbreaking. Glad you had the opposite experience on such an important game!

Hello everyone. Fall is here and I’m glad to see the hat parade is still going.

Great choice, and a great look too! Have fun, Steve.

looking good in the bowler, Steve.

Can't go wrong with that one, Steve. Lovely.

So there is a limit to the flexibility of your hat size. Good to know. Looks like one of those stingies that doesn't feel like a tiny hat.


Very cool, Jim. Did he bring the snake?

Do you sell that panache in bottles maybe, Charlie?


Cool; it deserves to be worn.

Made for it. Very nice, Steve.

Thank you kindly, gents!

It's cool enough for the fall 2023 debut of the 150th Anniversary Royal Deluxe Stetsonian.
