Good morning all, been a bit. I hope everyone is well. I'm wearing my newly acquired Dobbs GP today. This one has a 2 1/2" brim.

Beautiful day in staten island new york today. Breaking out this vintage stetson panama from the 1950s. Amazing condition given its age the sweatband is mint.

Rains quit so the rest of the day can be outside. One of the Champ Featherweights today. I have two of these that were identical so I did some hat editing and changed it from a snap brim to a swoop brim. This was NOT the first time Ive done a late night hat bid only to win and remember i already one just like it. Over the years Ive learned not to drive after three drinks, not to eat right before bed..... maybe it would be good to add another life modifier about no ebay bidding after 10pm lol

Hs, easy done. In my younger days, I once came home after a rare rager of a night out.... let's say somewhat 'tired and emotional'. Woke up the next morning and discovered I'd spent sixty quid on ties on ebay. I suppose it could be worse... Admittedly I have had some of those late night bids where something seemed to bed gonig for a song, and then been somewhat relieved when I got out bid as I didn't have a couple of hundred spare to play with that month...

Great colour on this! I like the style. A lot like the first soft hat I had many years ago... I guess I'd have been about ten at the time. What my parents would have called a Trilby back then (Fedora wasn't so widely used a term in Ireland pre-web), colour much like this, brim of about two, two and a quarter inches. No liner, and if you looked closely, a faint 'snowflake' vented pattern on the sides. Clearly a hat designed for those shoulder seasons when it's not quite warm enough for straw, but under felt you can get a little too warm. August, as we called it in the north of Ireland in those days. I wish I still had that hat - or even knew what it was. It was amongst a bunch of stuff given to an Aunt who worked in the church; most likely a house clearout after someone had died. I have a memory it would have been the Summer of 84, because I'd discovered Indiana Jones (hence the hat was all about that for me), though my parents' generation and up would have made cowboy or (Tom Baker) Doctor Who comments (my, how times have changed... ho hum...). It was most likely somebody's church hat; in those days, men of my grandparents' generation still wore hats on the regular - usually caps during the week, but you'd still here and there see brimmed hats for best and on Sundays. My hat had no label in it, but I've seen some since that were very, very close labelled as Attaboy (a brand used at a time by Olney). Looked liek a late 50s design, but was likely bought at anytime between 1960 and 1979, from the sort of shops I remember back in those days that still sold clothes in 40s and 50s cuts for men of a certain age. (How I wish I could find one of those now!). If I saw a hat like that again I'd jump on it. No idea what happened mine... I suppose ,as these things go, a few years later it had gotten set aside and was probably cleared out ahead of a house move at the end of the eighties.

Funny how a single image can bring back such a flood of memory! Enjoy your hat, it looks great.

not a great selfie picture, but I had the opportunity to wear this Optimo - we are going to call it a bulldog - today in the real world. I'm becoming a fan of an assymetrical pinch. Check out the last shot with the ribbon/edge detail showing the three rows of stitching in the brim.

I pulled the sweatband down all around and looked for any kind of interior label, but I didn't find one. The one thing I did find, however, is "60" written inside the hat> this is interesting to me, because the size label says 59, and it fits like a 59. What do you guys think?

Where would be the fun in that?

Changed the brake pads on my car this morning. After cleaning up, I spent the afternoon with the honey at a local golf course bar for a pitcher of beer. Perfect weather, with a slight breeze, for the Stetson 7x CB.

I wore my hemp OR to watch a community parade that my daughter was in today.
