What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

A good friend passed last week and was laid to rest on Saturday on his land in Australia. The ceremony actually took place Friday night my time and I held a private memorial for him at my home at the same time it was happening in Oz. He was a good man, a good father and a good friend and will be missed.

It is difficult to live a life between continents. While it's wonderful to be here close to family, almost all of my close friends live outside of the US - most of them in East Asia and Australia. When I am with them, of course my family is far away. It has been this way my entire life, but it really never gets any easier.

I wore the King’s Umbrella yesterday and again today, also during the ceremony. Not much of a "funeral" hat here in the US but in Asia (esp. Japan) white is a funeral color and my friend would have liked that. I did not wear the Hawaiian shirt for the ceremony, however.

Good afternoon 104 outside but didn’t stop me from wearing the Borsolino I just received in the mail yesterday. It is a little beat up but nothing that can’t be fixed .

Hey all!
How do I know that this Brent "THE AIRLITE" is one of my most often worn hats?
When I got it 7-8 years ago, the ribbon was black.



Makes me thankful for all the harsh sunlight it has taken for me.
Have a great day!

Thanks Mark!
I had thought about replacing the ribbon, but the color it had aged into appeals to me.

Borsalino Senapa
The lady is just putting the finishing touches on then we are off out.
Loving all the hats Stefan, but that Borsalino Senapa just has an edge,
it's probably the colour, mind you, it does have that classic look.
Fabulous. Now I must get going.

Thank you, gentlemen. The Mossant packs a punch, but the Senapa is just such a cool hat. Both a joy to wear though.

Today's pick for me was my 4X Biltmore Silver Buckle made in Canada. I really like feel of the felt on this hat and it seems top notch quality to me. Looks like Biltmore's version of a Stratoliner to me.

Hope y'all have a good 'un !

Inclement weather meant electric barbecuing undercover. Wearing my Snowy River rather than my regular barbecue hat..

While I was grilling the fish outside, Etsuko was preparing the sashimi.

Earlier in the day, my Sunbody saw off the rain with aplomb.
