Nice score! I bet you could stretch that up to a 7 1/8 no problem.

That's the plan. It almost fits now so bumping it to 1/8 should be no problem.

I went to Truffaux this morning to get a monticristi l have been eyeing for ages. It is not as fine as my other monti, but it is a very nice woven hat with very even weaves and reasonably small weaves. It is a very stylish panama.
First for a basic photo, looks pretty ordinary here.
But if you see this link you will see how great it looks. What a little beauty, now you know why l have been eyeing it off for a while. It looks great on me.

The good thing about Oska (owner, also posts here) is that we both instinctively know what looks good and bad on us. We see eye to eye on everything, we just know when a hat really pops. This hat is such stylish sophistication.
Also bought two hat boxes. I will sacrifice a monticristi per hat box, no other hats will be allowed in them. It is bulky, but special sacrifices need to be made for special hats like these fine straws.
Just for the record, here is the style of my other Monti. A real old fashioned gents hat not commonly seen. Probably not a style most would like, but you've got to have certain features and wear it like a big daddy for it to work.
Here is my hat weaver ([Don] Rosendo wearing the exact same model he made for me. Unblocked, just all natural, and a heavy sulphur smell. His brim is very different to mine. It is a real funny old hat. Mine has a black hat band. Very old school.

Now for something really exciting. Check out this big daddy hat. Getting this very soon. See the link and watch the 45 second video. It shows all you need to know. This is the big daddy straw.
Such a big powerful hat.

Oska also had me try on the King panama. Looks ordinary in the photo, but look amazing on the head. I am getting this soon also. See the photo ion the link and you'll see what l mean. It makes such a statement.

G.A. Dunn & Co cap.
Nice looking Dunn & Co cap. The crown patch suggests it has some years behind it.

Also bought this earlier today, have wanted one for years. With the coming summer it will come in very handy. Hoping the quality will be good and it will be made from real pith. It should be better made than the modern helmets shouldn't it?
A vintage 1948 Pith Helmet.
I really need to read all the threads on pith helmets.

Bounty Hunter by Nate Funmaker:
More pics and details in the My Blue Heaven thread.
BONUS: This hat originally came without a ribbon so I added the horsehair band from a mixed lot purchase. Also included in the same lot:
Joe (@Blare) is farther along than I am at turning it into a wearable hat.

Amazing new blue western! And cool monti body.. that’s like the third one to show up in the past month or so counting Randy’s. Prior to that I hadn’t seen one in a long time.
Coincidentally…. I Just nicely rolled mine up today and put it back in its box to slumber for the time being.
