Thanks Joe, it was a close one. It would have been nice if they would have been able to pull off the win today.

Beautiful. In far more pristine condition than mine, though, I guess if I removed the plastic on mine, it might have the same vibrancy.

I know I said I was done with Stingymas, but I found another! This very stiff black hat has a 1mm silver brim! I paired it with a black balaclava and black rimmed goggles. The splash of colour comes from a Canadian fleece headband.

When I wasn’t wearing that, it was a repeat of my Flying Cloud.

I find it hard to go against the consensus. The Cambiaghi for me, too, though contrary to most, I go for the Mossant in second. Let’s say third equal for the
Borsalino Cocisca Ginestra and the Dunn & co.
As always, there are no wrong answers.

This morning my offering for Stingymas is this Mayser with a 2 inch brim. The color is hard to capture, at times it is black, other times a deep blue depending on how the light hits it.

* someone better get the pole out of the crawl space !!

Heading out for coffee in my first scratch built hat for its first public outing this morning. Got the Sweatband sewn in and Liner fit last night. Did a little steaming and let it sit on a brim block overnight to get a little snap in the brim. Felt is really soft so I may end up with some stiffener on the brim to hold the shape a little better. Kind of a Fedora / Western crossover as it sits right now. Im sure there will be some more shaping before Im done. Going to play with some different ribbon/ bow combinations for the hatband over the next couple days

Hat of the day is my Agnoulita "Fleck Fur" in oatmeal/Wood colour. It has a kind of "Gus" crease, but I'm not very good at that style of crease so its a work in progress haha

Completely missed Stingymas so trying to catch up in one single brim.

Well....today i was planning on pulling out one of my most special, Stetson did it friggin alright, wear only for something special hat, just to brighten up my day.
I was brushing it and noticed a thingy place, then a kinda unrecognized area and immediately went into “Panic Thought Mode”. Oh, who been messin with my hats?? Dog, hit the road!!! You know just regular hat panic.
Alas, i turn it over and what?? Oh yeah, it’s the little brother!!
Hippo digs the Hollywood thing!
I also answered my own question.
Yes, Stetson did make an Open Road 3X Last Drop. Duhh
Be well. Bowen

Yuletide Greetings,

I happen to have a hat horror story, that unlike yours, does not have a happy ending.

I was taking a siesta on one's sofa one Sunday afternoon two summers ago. In my dreams I hear this crunching sound and wonder what on earth it could be? I open one eye to see our 12 year old yellow Labrador Retriever having decided that my Straw Boater from Lock & Co. in London England was the perfect chew toy! As one does not have a spare $275.00, plus shipping, getting another in the near future is not an option. I thought at 12 years of age it was safe to put the hat on a chair. Her inner puppy must have reared it's head. Beware, canines and hats do not often mix well.
