Sweet Mother of Bobo the Clown!!! That is such overwhelming perfection, that I need a cigarette after just LOOKING at it. Thank you, Alan, for sharing that.

I've got to say, my Stetson Stampede conversion has taken over the role of "old stand-by". For a while, that role belonged to my Agnoulita (also a fine option), but because of the western DNA, the Stampede is the new champ!
Yes, the felt is thicker and the brim is a little stiff, but when it comes to withstanding the elements - it just can't be beat! In fact, it's been soaked to the bone on several occasions and has only become better for the wear. It's not only retained its shape, it's conformed to my head nicely and kept it perfectly dry in the process.
If you are strictly a fedora guy or are just less inclined to reach for a western, I would recommend having one of these conversions in your rotation. When I stepped outside this morning and saw that the rain was on its way, I didn't have to think twice about which hat to grab.
I love my dress weights for beautiful days and nights on the town, but on days like today, I know this little workhorse won't let me down... In the short time I've had it, it's truly become a trusted friend.

Arrived at Pavilions to find a power outage. No groceries to be had but still a chance to go forth in my Hornskov Emissary

It was a chilly, but gorgeous day and I wore the Cedar Brown Campdraft Deluxe for my walk to the lake.

I concur on the western conversions! (particularly the fur felt ones) Ive done a few and they all are great rough weather hats. They wear well, handle water well, and all seem to be getting softer and more comfortable with time.

Whippet Wednesday.
This hat has actually gone up for sale. See the classifieds listing if you are interested. Good hat but needs a new sweatband. I've just never been able to get under it.

Glad to hear it was satisfying. Did Dusty Rhodes' boy keep the title? (Dusty Rhodes? Randy Rhodes? I can't keep them straight...).
In Thailand, the women Muay Thai fights are always the most interesting (to me, anyway).

Welcome home Skipper! Great hat!
How was the land of the rising Sun? We hardly heard anything from you while you were there - I hope that's a sign that you were too engaged by life to muck about online?

Did I hear somebody say it was Whippet Wednesday ?
The moss green felt and the 2 7/8" brim really make this one stand out from my other Whippets. Interesting how the size of this model changed over the years. To me it appears the crown height and shape stayed the same but the brim width varies on mine from 2 7/8" to 2 1/2" and I have a few with 2 3/8" brims. Obviously I like them all but much prefer the larger brim on this one.
