The hat colour was meant to compliment a blazer in this fabric:

The white stripe is actually a light grey, the photo was taken by my phone, not exactly a quality camera.
Today I should have been wearing a new blazer to compliment the Gamble & Gunn bespoke hat.

A text from the tailor, apologising, meant a grey suit. That is until I remembered this summer blazer.
So disappointed that my blazer has been delayed. But as my lady so succinctly put it: "You will enjoy it all the more when it's done, and to perfection." The delay was due to the discovery of a flaw in the fabric.

"Gratification delayed is gratification intensified." Or so "they" say. Hang in there, Robert!

That's gorgeous, Rick (as is the jacket). Personally I would leave it just as is; I think that ribbon color is awesome.

Its prob going to stay the same... new ribbon just wouldnt look the same against the original brim binding. I DO need to figure out how the wind cord is affixed and snug it up a bit.

Today's lid is this new to me unlined Tonak in Brown with a 2" Forest Green ribbon and matching brim edge binding. The felt has a suede like feel to it and the color combination really compliments each other nicely.

You are right Mark, of course. At my age you would think that I have had enough time to grow out of that, kid who cannot wait for Christmas anxiety, not a bit of it.

My wife, Tina, has a cabin style studio where she indulges in her hobby of dress making. Whenever there's something for me that's coming off her sewing machine, I ply her with hot drinks and treats. She's got my number though:

Taking the hot drink and slice of chocolate cake, she smiles and will say: "Thank you, but tea and cake won't get you your shirt any quicker!"
