Eric: Your Flagship is just stellar. One of my favorites.
David: Some fabulous felt over the weekend and again this morning. Hard to believe, but sun and humidity are coming your way this week...really!
coble: Congrats and best wishes on your new venture. One can never have too many...
Che: Thanks once again!
Mike: You are most kind, thank you!
Steve: Your new Montecristi is fabulous, a masterpiece of toquilla weaving! Thanks for your kind words, I am humbled! There are quite a number of excellent photography tutorials in the forum, written by far better photographers...
Can hardly keep up with the pace of this thread and the constant stream of outstanding lids!
Eric: Loving your excellent outdoor portraits of late, as well as your narrative.
Ordinary Guy: Wonderful pictures and hat! Is the ribbon on your Marathon a replacement?
JAVIER: Nothing...
Always impressive to see that old No. 1 Quality, Alan.
Really like how you look in the wide-brims, JAVIER.
Lovely weather here in Minnesota the past few days. Great felt and ribbon combination on both lids, Eric. That Homburg is just spectacular!
That Faustmann looks great on you...
Thank you, D'guy! You have a most keen memory! I am indeed using a three year old D90 with f/3.5, 18-105mm DX lens. Over 140,000 shutter actuations to date. I am trying to wear it out so that Lydia will be agreeable to an M9 or M8. Have had my favorite camera and lens, an M6 with f/1.4...
Outstanding, Steve, and congratulations! The felts and Milans are irresistible enough, but those Montecristis, well, that is dependency on an altogether inexplicable level! Look forward to your photos with anticipation. :)
Eric, Perry, Carl, CPT/VSG, Steve(wine65), Jared, and Frank: Thank you all for your very kind comments, they are greatly appreciated!
Eric: Glad you enjoyed the pics. I know you have been contemplating a trip to OPTIMO for some time now, and I would encourage you to make the trek...
My goodness I do look rather petrified in that photo! lol
Thanks, Alan, and indeed Lydia, as well as Ryan, helped with the lens work. I will pass along your compliments their way. :)
David: Superb! At first glance I thought you were sporting yet another Panama! That Silvermist is so appealing.
Perry: Wonderful OR. How many dozen T.A.R.s do you actually own? lol
Thank you all, gentlemen! Matt, zetwal, Randall, daedalus, BR, McMurdo, Manfred, gqmagic, LoveMyHats2, tealseal, Mike, Ed, and Steve, your kind words are sincerely appreciated.
Matt: If you like Graham's felts, you will be astounded by his straws.
daedalus: The Mitchum is a fine looking...
Such a splendid day of hats, gentlemen!
David: Beautiful Montecristi. Summer is not nearly long enough...
Eric: An outstanding double-header today. I sense more fine straws are in the offing for you this Summer!
Alan: One of my favorite Milans of all time. That pug is stellar...
