I'm pretty stoked about this one. Don't think the port is included though :)

Miller of Denver, CO. "The Buckaroo", made by Stetson. I guesstimate it dates about 1935 to 1940 til I get it. Seems the sweatband is a replacement.

Miller of Denver CO. "The Buckaroo" made by Stetson. Different style from the previous hat, but liner is similar, so I'm hoping it dates about the same period. This one has it's original sweatband.

Red Hat & Blazer1 002.JPG
When it comes to hat colour, I tend to be rather conservative. It took a lot of persuasion by Tina before agreeing to a hat that compliments the blazer.

The blue blazer needs a blue hat, (so says Tina,) so I am off to Snooks later: https://snooksthehatters.co.uk/ Yesterday I had a text from them to say that they have a blue Denton in my size and would I like to come along and try it on.

"It's a bit loud," I said as Tina was viewing it on my phone. "You said that about the red one," she reminded me. Guess I had better get myself off to Snooks today.

You're keeping the George Melly look alive and well, Robert. Flamboyant suits you.

Listen to Tina, you know she's right!
You are not the first to liken me to George Melly Steve, what a talent that man was and despite a lifelong addiction to tobacco he still packed in a great deal in his eighty years. If you ever get the chance do read his autobiography, "Owning Up."

The new hat was all ready when I arrived at Snooks earlier, at the request of the ladies there I wore the blazer that the hat is meant to, hopefully, compliment. I have been photographed by all and sundry, so for you, here's my new hat and George Melly incarnation.
