I am just now seeing this hat...wow! It is so one of a kind and everything about that one is attractive, the balance of the crown and shape works so well with the color, brim size, and how the brim edge and ribbon colors....what a find!Awaiting the arrival of this piece! Borsalino 'Calidad Especial'
It's out of Everything Australian's door. Wow -- where did those three months go?
Now you need another brown hat.
Fixed it.
Truly a MG worthy hat! As a former 73 MG and 71 Midget owner (didn't even get joint custody in that divorce...) I am BR Green with envy of that material for the shirt!!!It's no good, I just had to scratch my Belgian hat itch, I've ordered another hat from Esther Weis Millinery.
Esther asked me what style I would like, predictable me went for the classic look, I sent her this photo:
She is in the process of making me a parasisal straw hat. The basic structure has arrived.

And the ribbon bow has been crafted:

As if that wasn't enough, Tina has ordered a very special patterned material to make a shirt that will not only be the envy of MG owners, but will compliment the hat that Esther is making. How lucky am I?

British Racing Green envy, now that's creative. What a pain at losing those lovely little MG Midgets. Have you heard of MG Live? It's the world's largest gathering of MG's, held every year at the formula one, Silverstone race track. That link will take you to many more links where you can admire many an MG Midget. The archive is full of photos and, although I haven't checked, I expect there's quite a few clips on YouTube.Truly a MG worthy hat!

Esther pm'd me today, my hat is almost finished. Is that lady good, or what?
Now we have the currency mix up sorted we have that tentative wait to see if our respective Post Offices can manage to deliver it safely. Tina and I are still waiting for the MG fabric to arrive. There's also a new pair of shoes coming by post. I tell you, when you are at the mercy of the postal systems, you can quite easily age prematurely.I had all the materials at hand.
Sometimes certain things take more time to arrive.
And straw works a bit faster than a felt.
Can't wait to see it on you Sir!
Wow!The hat fairy sent me a sneaky preview prior to dispatch:
