Absolutely! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Bob, you were uncharacteristically late on the uptake, caught you napping?
I covet, David.
You're right on, Bob. But, don't forget the magic cleaner for tree pitch, Purell, or just about any other waterless hand cleaner. Works like a charm, won't disturb the hat dye. Works even better on your car!
Early '70s Stetson Derringer straw. Need to glue the liner tip back in, but this allows a good through-the-weave shot. Note that the vents don't align.

Brilliant - Peters Bros is a 15 minute walk from where we live.
Bit warm for a felt hat at the moment though.
I was to slow !!!Sorry chamuco, but I'm back in Houston. Next time!

I didn't order anything yet. Have to get the wife on board, but I did like the custom hemp straws that I've seen some of you wear on here.

Good evening. This evening I rushed out of the gym in order to try and make it to my local cobbler shop to pick up a pair of gunboats that I am having some replacement soles installed. Unfortunately the Minnesota summer construction season is in full swing and I never made it before the 7:00pm closing. Oh man!
Next door to the cobbler is a thrift shop that I have visited several times. I stopped in and said Hi to the woman owner. She said she had a straw hat I would be interested in. Nearing closing she said that she would bet that if I could come within $3.00 of the original price of the straw hat I could have it for 2 times the original sticker cost. Ah ha! After examining the outside and then the inside with the owner covering the attached price sticker I guessed $3.00. Cheers! I am the winner!
I summized that the late 50's early 60's fedora inexpensive field fedora cost less than $5.00. Yes - the sticker shows it's cost at $1.87. I can not imagine how the price came to be $1.87 - but I was pleased. I did pick up a couple of vtg. ties and some Dansk pottery for my wife so that we all felt good with the outcome.
Good evening to all, Eric -

Too bad we didn't grab a beer! And you aren't kidding about the heat! I could only take one
hat though and it had to go with a suit so I left the Balmoral behind.
