I have to say this is my favorite pic and hat of the day. :eusa_clap Though, it's always HARD to pick a favorite.

Great look Gene!

This beauty arrived more than a week ago - and a good two hours after I opened the box I actually went and crashlanded it - big time! The story - to be told another time in greater detail - involved a few hot 'n' spicey ingredients, like a treatment with denatured alcohol, nasty color bleeding of the ribbon, dissembling of the hat, repeated treatments with Naptha (and more denatured alcohol to boot!!), reblocking and resizing (that is, without a block!), some brim ironing and - last not least - my first attempts at replacing a sweat and a ribbon (hey, it's a very good idea not to bleed on the felt of such a light colored hat - and no: I ain't gonna show you no photos of that fancy needlework of mine - you really don't wanna see that! ). Ah, lest I forget: there were hectoliters of coffee in there, too...

Anyway. I'll post a few photos of the hat within in the next few days. This noggin shot (taken about half an hour after I finished the ribbon) will have to do for now. The color of the hat is a very, very light gray, so much so that it's almost white - which I like a lot! Oh, it came with a Cavanagh edge.

Wolfen and Mario, you fellas are looking sharp! Salty, that hat is just classy. I stepped out this evening so I slip on a sportcoat and my Brixton Gain. I need to get more hats, this hat is starting to get some miles on it.

Who took your picture?

My sweetheart, Nicki, used our Nikon D70 to snap this shot. Any good photos of me can be automatically credited to her. The lousy ones are when I hold the camera at arm's length and 'shoot myself'.

Thanks folks, for the compliments. This hat does a lot more for me than I do for it, that's for sure.

Hey Mario, we'll be interested to hear more about your efforts at hat salvation. It looks like it came out pretty well - if you didn't tell us there were problems we probably wouldn't have noticed. :eusa_clap

That's the truth. Hat and Mario look great in that shot. I wanna' read the "hot 'n' spicey" horror story...

Of course we all need more hats BUT, that one is just you!

Nice save Mario. I love that wide brim! (like thats a surprise )
