Thanksgiving morning work hat

Happy Thanksgiving US FF folks!

Today found me taking on tasks that are not normal. Our lack of rain this month and the nearly 40-50' temps changed my typical Thanksgiving morning. Exercise meant a Stetson OR. Back home for food prep and then yard work. Yes, yard work - the warmer temps meant clean-up in the yard/beach/boat house that would have gotten done in the normally early season snows. I finished up and am watering the trees and shrubs. Lack of rain and warmer temps mean the yard needs a drink.

My 50's Royal Stetson gray with dark navy ribbon had me hatted instyle while my chores got tackled. Back in for food prep, shower and change of clothes in anticipation of 9 dinner guests. After dinner a bonfire will allow me to choose yet another hat. A glorious hat day.

I am very thankfull for all of my blessings. I hope and send you and your families many blessings for today and the upcoming winter season.

Best, Eric -

Yes that is a hat in a display holder. The hat company is Halban & Damask of Vienna but unfortunately I don't have one of their hats. The Melone on display is a JHS Wien (not Neutitschein) from the same time period (early 1900s).

Steve - that hat display is really cool!

Ed - super Borsalino.

Thin ribbon morning for me today, enjoying a glorious fall day with my dogs and my Campdraft

Wow! Is that copper/brass?

It's brass with a copper coating. What is interesting is the company (TH. Hausermann & Co.) that made the display stand is still in business today. They make specialized printed circut boards which is a related process.
