And last; WOOOHOOOO - I got a Vagabond. Been wanting one ever since I first saw Douglas in one. Mine's not in perfect shape but pretty good and I'm happy.
This one'll be a good beater. The sweatband improved some with Lexol and tonight (after these photos) the hat got a good sweat-in PLUS rain so I was able to 'conform' it to me and tweak the front pinch, etc.
I had a good Hat Haul today.
I was tipped off by none other than my lovely gal, Nicki (eat your hearts out fellas! :D ) about some hats at an antique store a few miles up the road. I wound up with a total of four interesting lids and two cool boxes for an average of just over $17.00 per hat...
JEEZ, that looks like the real deal, rik. Wow, what a price. If the seller had listed it better it would've gone quite high. Glad you got a deal and I have no doubt that Graham will make a masterpiece out of it. Please keep us updated on the progress along the way. :eusa_clap

THAT'S what it's all about, now isn't it!?! I am getting the biggest charge outta' how thrilled you are to own one of those. They are special hats, you wear yours well and you obviously appreciate it properly. Congrats and a half!
Thanks, people! Yes, that Disney is one of my top favorites. I actually paid three figures to get that one and for me that's crazy, but I had to have it. :)

Hey, 'spitz - that is one very fine Panama hat! The backweaving on the edge alone looks masterful and very...

Disney Twenty for me today:
And WATCH OUT, Jimmy's dog - THIS is what's in the background of my pic: lol
