Big Shapo Day
Adam Executive, Olive, $7.95 original price (original price tag attached) . The hat is minty felt with a bit of cloudiness to the liner (not from wear, but age). Wind Trolley attached. The felt (hat material) is smooth, with a fine nap. When you get close enough to see the details it looks very luxurious, IMO. The ribbon is big and shows no wear or age - sharp. My first hat with a ribbon of this size. The leather band is uncreased and generally looks barely used. It really makes me treat the big boy gently.
The brim and hat size, while bigger, fit comfortably in my car from Gottenburg, Sweden. Plenty of room. I had to run an errand in my wife's smaller German auto and the hat and I were not comfortable. Hmmm....I had not planned on hat selection being determined by auto selection. I will obviousely have to check out my hats in our different models. Ultimately I will have to consider buying autos to style/color coordinate with my hat of choice. Now, which hat is my fav??
Take a gander at my "big shapo:
Enjoying a "big" shapo day in MN.
