Yes, I thought it might be a little small but also considered having it reblocked and creased by Art or Mike or.... this is too small for that; like an inch-plus too small.
No kidding, my heart flutters when I hold this hat!
The Brent Black, though, way too small..... about a 7-1/8 by my best estimate. But it runs between 21 and 24 wpi by my count, so 441 to 576 wpsi. It has a 3-1/4" brim, and a pencil curl around the sides and back. What a sweet hat, but it...
Again, felt in the morning and straw in the afternoon. FYI, Bob, we're headed for 91 again today! :)
Penman Hat Co, The Penman. Great dark moss beaver felt with a 6 point diamond crease.

Back to work and looking like a true pro... we all there's a Superman! under the first layer, though! I trust...
A dedicated hat box is what I use for stowing hats in the trunk or the back seat. There are hard-sided boxes but I just use a cardboard shipping box that a hatter sent me for a custom I ordered. On the beach is tough, but we always have one person stay behind and watch our stuff.
If you need a hotel, get it reserved. Everything near to the longest times for the eclipse (about a minute and 59 seconds) is already booked. My brother and his wife and youngest sun/son are driving up from LA. He wants to stay with me in McMinnville then drive to the...
