@Michael A , Check out the movie Gold with Matthew McConaughey on Netflix. His partner, Acosta, has a hat that looks like it has a similar weave and texture to your Hopoka straw.Back to the Penney's Solar Straws Hopoka today.

One of your nicest Doug.I've been waiting on this one. A Knox 15 from ebay. Sellers pic didn't do the hat justice, and neither do mine but give one a better idea of the cool brown felt and old copper color of the ribbon and bow with a twisted knot. I've wanted a nice Knox for some time, and the twisted knot is something I've loved since I saw them on the Gannon hats of @moontheloon and @Frunobulax
Nothing under the sweat except a stamp of the size, 7-3/8 and some pencil or crayon marks that mean nothing to me. The hat is a Long Oval (Ovalized Sixteenths in Knox jargon) and fits like a custom. It also has the Knox Custom Edge, aka Cavanagh Edge, that I really like. The reeded sweat and stitching of same are in good shape. The liner shows its age but is all there and legible. The felt looks really good and creases like a dream.... it's also dusty and will get a good brushing after the Lexol dries on the inside of the sweat.
More pics in the Knox thread.

Felt good about getting my middle-school students make blue ribbons/ condolences sentiments for Modesto fallen officer Pershall.

Sharp as usual Wes. That Borso is really nice. Are there interior shots around here somewhere?
Thanks Bob. That new Borsalino is a rare treasure.

New hat day. Picked up a new Stetson Stratoliner Milan in hemp. Special Edition version, better sweat (sheep skin?) and a more substantial milan weave. There is a different feel between the regular milan and this one, seems more hefty. Definitely a late summer/early spring weight straw. So far I'm liking it. Needs some steam and a snap though.

LOVE it, Justin! My family was in the auto and metal salvage business in northern Vermont, from about 1917-18. I see gold in those piles!!
Who's in charge of inventory control?

Thanks Justin.
Yes, Oscar had a sale last week at 25% off his straw selection, he was kind of overloaded. Sure like the quality for a modern Stetson.
I like the sand, sage and navy!

Thank you Red. I think it's a homburg with a thin brim binding.
