Until today, I've been wearing the same Stetson straw that I posted last week. So I figured there was no point posting a rerun over and over again.

Today, I dug out the Knox Grabber. I am pretty sure that it is coconut straw. It is the stingiest brimmed hat that I own.

Super sunny Friday! A great day around here for a Monte, to keep in decorum with Mikespens (A BEAUTY yesterday, Mike)....

Fabulously finished by the fingers of Fawcett...

Thanks so much, Matt! You and I seem to share the same eclectic taste in hats... all over the place in variations of brim width, etc., but consistently great hats, (at least I try) and your stingy Grabber today is no exception!

Beautiful Alan. I wonder when I see that contrasting ribbon color if it was originally contrasting or has time and exposure changed it from something that originally was more matching?

Tommy, I understand that wonder... sometimes the rayon ribbon color does fade significantly. I think this one is close to original.

Thank you for the comments on my strataccumulus... I have another to share with you today.

All of these early Stratoliners are under 3 ounces in weight.

Steve that is one amazing hat.

Charlie, also a stunner in straw.

Michael, your photo from yesterday was especially nice.

Thanks to all for the great additions to this massive thread.

I've only recently become aware of cocoanut palm hats. What do you guys think of them? Maybe a separate thread?
