Guess winters just about here. Most of the leaves are fallen and its about time to go out and pick up the pecans. Kinds bleak and damp looking. Guess its up to me to add a little bit of sunshine to the neighborhood daily lol.

Today I pulled out a 2-1/2" brim Akubra Stockman. A bit shorter crown than I usually like ( the top of the head bottoms out in there) Still a nice little hat. Ribbons a temporary one. Have been thinking about a slightly wider ribbon with a Campaign bow to dress it up a tad.

Sunday has come around again. I'm in the same old place just with the new hats of the week to show you. I tried my best to throw in some black hats in support of Daniele's efforts.

The Tress for it's brim and dome. The Tonak for the colour and hat ribbon.
Decisions, decisions, Stefan. Tina, went with the Tonak, I'm inclined to agree.
Then again, I do keep coming back to the Tress.
My Susquehana from Gamble & Gunn had one or two favourable compliments
when I took Tina shopping earlier. Christmas shopping, it's akin to American Football.

Love the Gamble & Gunn! I've had my eye on the Shirwell in charcoal lately, and this may be what I needed get off my tail and buy it.

Thank you, Robert. We all have our favourites. Love the rich colours on the Gamble&Gunn by the way.

I scored this yesterday from a lady in a nearby small town. It’s a Resistol 3X beaver Ranger, and based on the price tag on the inside, I'd place the vintage around 1961 to 1966. The lining and sweatband are both gorgeous and in AMAZING condition. The retailer, “Alexander’s”, was a multi-state chain begun in 1891 by Moses Alexander, who went on to serve two terms as Boise’s mayor, and subsequently two terms as Idaho’s governor.

Despite its workmanlike name, this is very definitely a dress hat, not a “working western” model of that era. The felt is incredibly thin and lightweight, on a par with my lightest vintage fedora.
