That is certainly a very fine Derby. I have not been drawn to the shorter crowns, how does it look on your head?

Yeah... Absolutely beautiful looking Mezcal. Hat looks o.k. too.

But seriously... That ribbon and bow look even more awesome out in the world than they did in the shots Gannon sent to you.

Just marvelous...

this is a modern Stetson New York LE excellent quality
2 5/8 brim
5 1/2 crown
Under welt
the color is called Phantom Grey but it is more of a taupe to my eye ... somewhere between grey and some sort of tannish color

The felt is very nice
The crease you see is dry and most likely temporary ... but I like it pretty well creased like this ...for the moment at least .
Nice change of pace.

The hat is softer than I expected and is constructed surprisingly well .
I'm sure it will eventually end up with a diamond crease but for now it looks like this

apologies for the poorly lit shots but it's pitch black outside

Moon, That really is a gorgeous modern felt. The finish looks super buttery and very uniform in color. The pouncing looks much nicer than other modern Stetsons I have seen.

VERY nice!!

thank you Josh ...
it is indeed quite buttery ... I'm impressed with it
my expectation of modern production hats does not live wth a high bar ... but this particular piece has raised it a touch
.. very nice pounce indeed

Ridiculously warm over here for the time of the year, some 18ºC, but still I've worn my (rescued from the drawer) "hat for ship and shore" made a few years ago from a pattern in a 1961 book by Ruby Carnahan (the lady in the picture looks suspiciously like Angela Lansbury, doesn't she?). Some less that stellar stitching, my machine was misbehaving at the time, but still a cute and practical hat.

How about some seafood? I had lunch at "La Medusa" a tapas bar adjoining a fish stall at "El Ninot" food market in Barcelona:

And a short stop by my brother's who took this pic:

I've seen you all looking magnificent today. Bellissimo il cappello di @Daniele Tanto and gorgeous the Dobbs of @mmbarnes finally the before and after pictures of @mayserwegener hat, what a difference a new ribbon makes, and well worth bringing that hat back to pristine condition!

Gracias un montón Cristina.
Envidio el calor de Barcelona y especialmente el marisco.
Este verano yo estaba en el norte de España y he quitado todo deseo de pescar.
Todavía se usa sus bellos sombreros que me recuerdan a una tía Aida que tenía una colección de sombreros muy "raro"
