Outstanding color! Cool advertisement too.

Still damp but I'm going to like it. I also reset the mule kick on the front crown a bit. Sand Peble has a bit of sage undertone that doesn't come out in the pics.

Very Nice! I like what you have done with the brim. Nice shape and dimensions, definitely my kind of lid!

Absolutely beautiful! This may be my favorite that you have posted, at least until the next post.

Thanks for your kind comments today and for the gracious manner in which you acknoweldge the many posters beloved hats. You are a model of this forums civility and decorum. I am confident that I am not the only one noticing and appreciative.

Eric -

Thank you Eric. Sometimes I worry about being a "compulsive poster" (Bob's comment from a while back), but this is my only outlet for conversation about my passion. My wife tolerates my obsession, and the general public rarely engages. The "Church Ladies" on Sundays regularly asks about hats. I just can't keep my comments to myself when I see a hat in front of me.

I'm at the delivery center awaiting the arrival of baby Blue wearing my wool 8/4 Rooster cap!

Yay! Congratulations Justin. Prayers for everybody.

Hey all!
This G. B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro & C. from around 1930 gets out in the fresh air today.

Have a great day!

Dig the hat. Any pictures of it brim front down?

Wow, what a beautiful blue. And of course, the rest of it is up to your usual superb standards!

Extraordinary.

Does that one have the "Doppel-Ventilator" that is referenced in that fantastic ad?

Your hats just never cease to amaze me.

Ugh. I can't decide which hat I want more. Decisions, decisions...

That's one proud Rooster, Brother J! We'll be thinking about all of you. Thanks for allowing us in. Can't wait to see Baby Blue!

You need a wide ribbon, Alex!
That hat can be worn for casual daily appearances, or for a dress hat, if you ever need that.

Dress hat? Me???

The last time I wore anything dressier than a casual button-down shirt was in July. Of 2011. Besides, I doubt very seriously that either of those Gents would part with those hats even if they were my size; just something to keep in mind next time I'm on the hunt.

Thanks scotty!
I wore it once with brim snapped down, and then found out that the style was meant to be worn up. I thought it looked a little off that way. So now it is brim up always.

Okay, I keep picturing it brim-front down. Diff'rent strokes.

Are hats ever really a choice? I thought it was just a prioritization. What size do you need? I'll keep my eyes open.
