Greetings everyone!
Feeling for grey hats recently.
Today with Christy's knightsbridge fedora

 

[Frunobulax]

Damn, now I'm thinking I should have ordered the fed iv instead of the Fedora

I do not own a Fed, but I'm confident you will be very happy with the Fedora. However, like Chamuco sez - get both! Then a couple of Camp Drafts just to be sure.

Thanks sir.

I know others see this heat infrequently each year and work with it. In my neck of the earth, it is shocking heat. It "freezes" folks. I had clients call in that they would not be coming to karate/ninja/dance/gymnastics as it was "too" hot. Our staff assured them the business air conditioning would be refreshing and class activities would include rest and re-hyradtion, they still opted to miss. Many clients missed an opportunity "frozen" by the unique weather. (I am of course presuming it is unique and will be seldom seen again.)

I know forum members in southern climes (or CA climes) see these temps more often and cope well. I admit to coping poorly or am guilt of whining. Let me have snow and cold any day as I know how to dress for the weather. Hot weather - really what more can I take off!

It's been in the 90s here most of the week. I don't pay attention to heat indexes, as hot is hot to me. However, I'm just the opposite. I'd much rather it be hot than cold. I hate to be cold.

Inspired by Bob's 4X OR yesterday, I dialed it down an X and put on my 3X OR today to fend off the sun. I swear, this is a tough hat. It might be ******proof.

​

Someday, perhaps I'll commission Stetson to make an 11X for me. I can call it my Spinal Tap hat (It's one X-er, isn't it?)

Oh, and Happy Belgium Day, Esther!

Looking to be the hottest day this year so far - hoping to keep cool with my VS Panama.

 

[InsolentPuppy]

That's nice Pup, what is it?

It's a Montecristi from Optimo in Chicago. The Plantation they call it.

That's not a weave, it really is his beard.

Thanks Mon!

Love that weave !

Thanks Esther! Here is a better look.

That's not a weave, it really is his beard.

It's true. The sideburns were tickling my ears so I wove a hat out of them.

 

[Bamaboots]

That's a great hat, Bob.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Yea Mon!

Thanks Mon!

Looks better than your Rasta beanie, Mon! Too hot for the Rasta, Mon.

La Cheapo Dorfman straw that a thrift coughed out yesterday in a very timely manner.

Heat index near 110 here today too with actual temp in the upper 90s. Don't like it.
Worn with a shirt of my own manufacture. Unfortunately manufactured when I weighed considerably more than I do now.

Try to avoid heat stroke midwesterners. I have to run some errands today and I'm not looking forward to it.

I gotta throw out that dress though, eek!
