Good morning hat folks. This cold morning a walkabout found me wearing "The Brock" in a blue felt.

I got home and changed fedoras and went out to enjoy a cold brew coffee under the brim of "The Brock" in a bright white felt hue.

"The Brock's" have different edge treatments. That said they are similar - similar dimensions, similar blocking, similar felt characteristics, similar ribbon and similar unlined interiors.

I went looking for this hat a few weeks ago, and found a Canadian Stetson I'd forgotten about.

I dove in yesterday to find it, and instead came up with a 3X longhair and decided to wear that instead. Today, I dove back in and found it, my Royal Deluxe heathered two-tone.

You forgot:
The tags…
The liner…
The petability….
But you got the lamp posts.
Heck of a hat by the way.
It’s…”Frunobulous”!!!

OK, but just for you...

Errands and walking today with my older, bound-edge, Resistol. Nothing special, just a 2X wool, but it's handsome enough as a daily knock-about; another local gun show score from a couple of years ago. I live at the extreme western edge of the urban-Boise sprawl, where the continuous chain of smaller towns blends into the country. I suspect, as the remaining cattlemen, ranchers, and growers age out, more and more such hats will find their way to gun shows, flea markets, and antique stores, which is why I haunt all three religiously. :)

Skoczów/PolkaP. A one time JHS hat factory beforeWWII, not this one though.

A fun hat, nevertheless. Grateful to Stefan for throwing this one in the mix of recently purchased hats.

Amazing lids, gentlemen, one after the other.

Today's hat is another one with a special, emotional, bond for me. I've been wearing a Stetson LL Bean Moose River Hat , either this one or its predecessor, since 1970. I wore the first one out in the mid-90s, and immediately picked up a new one to take its place.

And we can see why! Looks great, VDS!
