O wow, Mark. That is a hat and a half. What a thing!I have a couple of westerns that are SO largely proportioned, that I only wear them to g*u*n shows, or annual meetings of my Cowboy Action Shooting club.
Today I went to the Nampa g*u*n show in my Resistol Hi-7/5 (the variation with the 5" brim).

Looking splendid as usual, Robert. Nothing beats the feeling of wearing things made just for you.G&G bought out the hat maker that I previously made my hats, that being The Susquehana Hat Company. A phone call to G&G proved most fruitful, they had my account and as Susquehana had many a client who used their made to measure service, G&G intended to continue offering bespoke.
It might seem ostentatious but having made to measure guarantees a comfortable fit and long lasting wear. I have been spoiled all my married life by my talented wife who has made wardrobes full of clothes for me.

Yesterday's hat is pressed into service for church today. It compliments the shirt and trousers that Tina specifically made to wear with this blazer. There's a fellow at church who thought that I was telling porkies when I said that my wife made the shirt and trousers.
Tina's response to the insult was: "What do you expect from someone who dresses like they are wearing a sack!" My lady never pulls her punches.
Is the term "Porkies," leaving you scratching your head? It's Cockney rhyming slang. Porkies, Pork Pies, Lies! So now you know.
Great new lineup this week. Some real headturners in there!Sunday is here and so are the hats of the week.

The first two pictures are my new Akubra Cattleman in sand that I wore on our school trip to Melbourne. The following two are my Stratoliner that I wore today for grocery shopping.
And here is Etsuko, Wakayama (out of Osaka)

Super Blue, Jeff. Good to see you posting, my friend!It had to be Bobby Blue today, by Art Fawcett. Seemed like a perfect companion for a wine and jazz fundraiser gig I’m playing this evening. View attachment 772560 View attachment 772561 View attachment 772562 View attachment 772563
