Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

[Redfokker]

Fellow Loungers, I present the latest OSU commemorative, the Slats Playboy Clone in sand. I greeted this hat in Mike's showcase this morning with an open crown (no pics, I'm a fool) and un-snapped brim. We started with the pinch that the Slats Gill faculty portrait had. It is off center over his right eye, and we extrapolated into a soft diamond. The brim is upturned on the right and flat to slightly dipped down on the left. Soft, very smooth finish and a Playboy bow.

This is what I was going for, still need to dress up in an overcoat and tie. I'll have my wife match the portrait pose and take a matching BW image. This is just a test shot. I think the sand color is close in tone to the original.

Trip to Eugene today was a success! Mike and I had a nice visit for a couple of hours. Picked up a couple vintage ties and a new pug for the Ortega "Affleck" straw. He brought the St. Regis back to life with a resize and sweat stitch repair. Great visit, more images to come when I get them processed.

Love that pug,Mike.

Mike has a stock of some real fun pugs, tropical looks suitable for a fun hat.

That is one awesome summer hat! Love the band too. Those colors really pop! Sounds like one VERY worthwhile visit!

It helps if you close your eyes for a while, it will pass.

Good sport. My eyes are closed.
