Fair enough. I got a little excited, I have a few old Akubra hats bought second hand. If I could get them looking like that - man I would be a happy camper.
Looks fantastic.
Wear it in good health.

Darn it, I said I wasn't going to buy anymore Akubra hats! Now you're making me want to change my mind!

Howdy pardners!
Throwing on the Pondermoesa as I head downtown to show my civic pride and watch our little Labor Day parade.

Have a great day!

Mrs FedOregon and I drove down south, stopped in to see Mike at NW Hats in Eugene, Oregon, and grabbed a hotel for Friday night in Medford. We then went over to see Art and David at Vintage Silhouettes (what Great guys, talent and a fantastic shop!), then drove over to Crater Lake. Yesterday we drove home the long way, took the Redwood Hwy from Grants Pass, Oregon, toward the coast, hit Hwy 101 headed north and stopped in Brookings at Harris Beach. Finally made it home last night.

Anyway, I wore my Cuenca hat when we went to see Art (completely forgot to take pictures as I was dumbstruck by the tour of VS) and then my ebay Stetson Downs for the remainder of the trip.

This morning I donned my best ebay buy yet, an $18 (free shipping!) Wormser Milan:

Sounds like a super road trip, Fed. I'd like to see Crater Lake some day (the hatters too - I have a bunch of hats that Art has made for me over the years).

We went for a nice hike by the river today - my Royal Stetson Panama reflected in the wife's sunglasses.

Best, Eric -

You have a great collection of Adam hats Eric. When I see your hats/ I'm always reminded of a British Lounger (I think his name was Billy Pugh) who had an incredible number of great Adam models.

I don't recall seeing him post here for a few years, which is a shame - it is good that you are carrying on the tradition with your super Adam examples.

Your Majestic is fabulous - I have a photo saved of a similar hat that I was always going to use for a model to get a custom made. Somehow never got around to it.


Cheers!

Thanks David. Very appreciative of your thumbs up." Back at you as your hat rack has some choice hats.

Billy was an inspiration when I first joined the Lounge. His website is still up and I have used it plenty for reference. Adams/Lee threads still exist on the Lounge, but come up fewer times in the past couple of years. I was fortunate at the time, beginning of me recognizing hats, to pick up some Johnny Phi stuff and source others before the market price increases/demands of the past few years. Like you and others - patience and critical eye (usually gained by experience of buying a bunch of keepers and releases) are our learning. My experience is to enjoy the hats I procure. No wish list for me, as the hats will come as they come.

Billy joins a bunch of the older folks who I admired have departed. I miss them and wish them best in their endeavors. Delectans, Aurelio (sp? I do not recall), Randall, Billy and others have departed but they and their lessons are not forgotten. I hesitated to write a few names as I have missed way too many folks and characters. Even our banned fellow (s) I recall of adding some spice and vinegar to the threads. Ahhh, my rookie hat days. Occasionally I query up a few of the topics for hat details or pics I recall.

I had pronounced in the past that I wear my hats and would not keep hats that I do not wear. I still follow that credo. I toss back into the hat fray hats which I do not or will not wear. Jeepers, like others I should consider whether having a different hat a day for months at a time might be a limit.

Anywho, thanks sir. I look forward to seeing the posts from Texas. I hope your wife and you enjoy the southern "country" of Texas.

Sunny but nice and comfortable today in Oregon. Trotted out my Mallory Aristocrat Back Bow. Wonderful felt, smooth and buttery (I'm hungry, maybe that is coloring my descriptive juices), although not all that light for September.
