Temperature cooled off a bit overnight so it felt like a good morning for the Campraft Deluxe

Woo Hoo and hooray! my new blue braided hemp Borsalino came in today! Its definitely a LOT lighter hemp material than the Stetson Hemps. Reminds me of the feel one of my extra fine Montechristi Toquilla hats are... not exactly floppy but really lightweight and flexible . Super comfy! Should be a great summer hat. Whipped up a quick little ribbon but couldnt find any blue grosgrain so temporarily used black ( I KNOW Ive got some navy blue grosgrain in 3/8" , 5/8" and 1" SOMEWHERE... just need to find it so I can experiment with a couple sizes before I sew it down). This ones a 3/8"... thinking a 1/2 or 5/8 would look pretty good as well. Im thrilled with this hat and I FINALLY have a Borsalino in the house!!

Hemp straw - check
Perfect shade of blue - check

Great-looking ribbon - check

It checks all the boxes, and looks fantastic! Congratulations, Rick, on a great buy.
