A like for the color.

Good morning. Dog walk this morning in the brisk 15'F weather. Wearing a Vtg. Lee Commentator. This green felt fedora deserves more wear.

Best, Eric -

Great looking Gannon Dave! What is the small pin on the bow?

I feel like some exercise today. Maybe an early turkey hunt?

Have a good one,

Super Hobson, Celia. Sending good and healthy thoughts your way.

I hope your recovery from the flu finally kicks in soon. I know the misery of the lingering ache. Great Hobson. I think the ribbon probably has a few good years in it yet.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it

You look great and how wonderful that it has been used and loved and it has been with you for a while

Thanks. I have acquired many nicer and more expensive hats since, but this would be the one I'd choose if I could only keep one (hoping it never comes to that of course )
Great picture of you with your power hat!

I just had an MRI for $15, my ears are fine but the Dr found a pituitary tumor. I don't think I'd trust a Dr in Mexico, or Ecuador (where my wife is from) to do my tests and not overlook something incidental to the original test that is ultimately more dangerous than hearing loss.

Quality is in the eye of the beholder and cost is relative. I'm not going to fork out $3500 for a Limited Release Master Hatter fedora at Watsons, but I will spend $250 - $500 on a great custom fur felt 100X, pure beaver, that fits perfectly (on my between-sizes head) and is made exactly how I want it over a $20 wool hat from the indigenous people in Cuenca, Ecuador.

I have a $20 Panama hat made where authentic paja toquilla (straw) hats are made: Ecuador. A simple Cuenca weave, it gets the job done when the sun is high in the sky. I won't spend $2,000 - $10,000 on a Montecristi that took a woman over a year to weave by hand, but I don't belittle Gloria Estefan or anyone else for doing so. I will spend $200 on a nice Montecristi or Cuenca straw if the quality is there. Of course, according to some, flying to Ecuador to get that price is is a foolish waste, too.... just sayin'.

I hope your tumor is asymptomatic, benign and doesn't require invasive treatment. Sounds like you're in good hands with your doctor. I hope you're ok.

Wow, what a legacy. No wonder you are so proud looking wearing it.

Thanks Red. My dad used to wear a borsalino in a similar style when I was a kid, and he knew how much I always loved that hat. That's why he bought me this one when I turned 18. Not quite the quality (or price tag) of a Borsa, but I thought it was perfect anyway.

Very spiffy. Looks great on you. Or is that you look great under it?

Turkey hunt?
Forget it - the turkeys will hear those pants coming a mile away.

Officially it's Silver Mist. But yeah, it's basically silverbelly. Thanks for the compliment!

I had this longhair beaver felt out to wear today and then it started snowing. So I switched coats and wore it anyway.
