Good steamy afternoon from Central Ohio...You guys are looking great as usual!

Harv, Nice looking Stetson straw for a work hat! BTW...I saw a very nice Blue and Black '71 Mach 1 down the street from me that's been parked at a "drive thru" over the last few weeks and on the next block from me there's another nice Mach 1, either a '69 or a '70, I can't get close enough to it to see which. That one's Maroon and Gold. Of the Mustangs the Mach 1s are my favorites. The Postman who delivers my mail also has a '71 Mach 1 that he had restored. It originally had a 351 but he found a 428 Cobra Jet and had that dropped in it instead.

S-4-C, that's a nice thrift store find. You can't beat that $15 price either!

casechopper, Very nice CRM.

Joao, Geez, you have a gang load of Stagecoaches! That's a nice one you're wearing.

b-man, I like the montecristi. That's a nice one.

Today on this warm and muggy afternoon I'm breaking out the straw. This one's from Cappas. It originally had a short tapered crown of just under 4 inches tall. I reblocked it and straigthened up the crown and raised the height to 4 1/2 inches tall. I also sewed on a vintage brown mid-ribbon....

Bman&TJ nice looking straws!TJ-you're developing a real touch with ribbons.

Thanks buddy. I appreciate that. I have to give credit to a few good teachers though, John Galt, The Dane, DOGMAN, and Kingrat... these guys have been great about helping and sharing information.

1mach1, nice hat.
casechopper, nice contrast with the ribbon!

I like the wide ribbon on that one Joao.
That was what made me get this one. Didn't had one brownie with wide ribbon. Thank you.

Ultrafino montecristi. Slightly misshapen because I hand sewed my own sweatband in.
It looks fine to me.

Yes I do :)

Nice Taco hat Joao!

RJR, Perry, Joao, HamilcarBarca, thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

HamilcarBarca, I really like that Stetson Sportlite. Looks perfect for casual wear and has tons of character! Just the way I like 'em!

Perry, I really like your Borso, buddy and I like the combo too...But man! Aren't you just a little warm wearing all that stuff?

Oh man, that black cherry is amazing. It had slipped my mind.

Nice straw yesterday, t Jones.

Perry both are great. That borso is near perfection !
