Greetings Dogman et al:Yesterday Road trip about a hour northeast of me.An old drinking buddy of mine ended up in the hospital.I went to pick up his dog.Really great dog.Was under my Resistol beaver 15.Today back from Post Office,my Miller.
Hope everyone is having a great day.
Stefan, Thanks!
Daniele, thank you. Something to read up upon. Now why didn't I find these...
It's another beauty in your impressive collection, Eric. These lightweight hats tend to loose their shape quickly (gives us a chance to fiddle about with them).A Green Knox Vagabond was worn this morning on my walkabout.
This green hued late 1940's felted fedora is incredibly lightweight. It has the noticeable blocked Knox crown of the 40's and early 50's. The advertisement below shows some natty fellows sporting the hat.
Simple leather sweat is really comfortable. The unlined hat has the Knox emblem at the top of the inside crown and is in minty condition.
My challenge over the next days is to hat crease whisper. I need to sort out the crease. Most hats I do not spend a lot of time doing this as I crease them as I put them on. This hat is so supple that after the walk I had a hat that looked much diferent from either my hands or tree/brush touches. Steam should activate enough stiffeners to give a crease that will better guarentee a consistent appearance.
Ah yes, it is green. This gray/green is hard to capture in late winter sun. Cheers, I will have to wear this hat more in order to showcase it's real green.
Channeling Vagabond this morning, Eric -
Another winner, Matt. Love the proportions.Another Premier Vita-Felt, today.
Merry Friday.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.

Nice felt on the porkpie, Michael, but the Stetson is the winner for me!Should be a nice enough day here, before heading back to cold weather. I'm thinking I like this Pilgrim porkpie today.

Seems the right vibe to go with some '60s houndstooth

But I've got to admit that this Royal Stetson OR garnered a few votes too.

Great look, Johnny. Love the two-tone bow.It may be spring break but winter isn’t done with us yet. Coldest Easter in the last 10 years.
Broke out my winter weight VS and my winter jacket.
Just because come people like inside shots

Mike, Thanks! Congrats on your new Bone Lord's Hat. Looks great!
The porkpie won out today. I liked the color play with the suit, and more importantly, I got out on my bicycle and stingy brim is king on the bike.
Hope you make a full recovery quickly. Great looking Esby. What a fine shape.
Hang in there Johnny, only another month or so til spring. The VS today is most excellent. Great bow work.It may be spring break but winter isn’t done with us yet. Coldest Easter in the last 10 years.

That's marvelous. I really love the stitching along the edge of the brim. Just a super touch. Congratulations on that one.
Both are great hats. And I really love the color and texture of the Pilgrim. It reminds my of THE POLAR.Should be a nice enough day here, before heading back to cold weather. I'm thinking I like this Pilgrim porkpie today.
