Fantastic pork pie! Now I want a piece of chocolate cake!Veering dangerously close to the main topic of this thread, Ladies and Gentlemen I now present a Toyo straw Pork Pie from Hats in the Belfry's "Malone" line:
4" crown with a Diamond Crease, 2" brim, in a shade of brown they've dubbed "Chocolate" (probably because the color they call "Brown" looks like something you might find in a baby's used diaper), and nicely ventilated without a liner. Lightweight and comfortable, this is the first hat I've obtained in a long time that I haven't felt the need to modify in some way.
Thank you Sir, that's very kind. While I was out running errands today the external temperature indicator on my car's dashboard indicated it was 103°F, but those vent holes in the hat's crown managed to keep me quite comfortable. I hope that Toyo straw is somewhat durable, 'cause I'd like to be wearing this hat for a while....The hat looks great, it suits you too, just the thing in that glorious west coast sunshine.
Mmmm, chocolate cake...er, I mean, thanks! It's a nice hat.Fantastic pork pie! Now I want a piece of chocolate cake!
Your remarks about the hat reminded me of a quip I received by way of a link to Facebook. Not being familiar with Facebook I emailed back an apology that I couldn't access the link. Almost immediately an explanation came back. It shouldn't be too hard to find.Thank you Sir, that's very kind.

Most of my straws are here. A few (11) are still in boxes. I plan to reduce my straw count but I don't know if I can get down to 30 so they will all fit in the cabinet.

Oh, that's easy. You already have 30 in the cabinet, so just sell or gift the ones that aren't.Most of my straws are here. A few (11) are still in boxes. I plan to reduce my straw count but I don't know if I can get down to 30 so they will all fit in the cabinet.

Seconded. I'm no "hat snob" and find even the mostly-despised-here ball cap has it's uses. "Cold and wet" are good reasons to wear a wool cap; I personally prefer darker hues though.Hats, for me, are foremost practical items so I can appreciate your wooly for the cold.
I know, I know, I don’t like it either….I miss my Fed 4s….but heat exhaustion is a drag! Besides, Florida was made for heathens!Straw hats before May 15?
Heathens!
