There are some really nice lids on today :)

Here's my humble offering. A circa 1950 Australian-made Royal Stetson Resort given to me many years ago by my grandfather.

It's really worn out so I'm planning to retire it next week when my Fed IV arrives, but right now I'm enjoying it as it is.

WHat a classic, Sir:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Hats passed down like that never lose their appeal, do they? Well done.

Yesterday's hat and most likely today's as well. This is a vintage Stetson Cuenca brisa weave panama refurbished and restyled by Tom Gomez. The loose weave is excellent for warm weather. It lets air flow through freely, keeping my exposed scalp nice and cool. Thanks, Tom. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Bob, you are winning me over with the striped ribbons. This one especially.:eusa_clap

I nominate BobC as first "Exalted Emperor" of the Striped Ribbon Society. :D

BTW, Bob, what's the sweat markings on that Panama - Premier, Medalist, ?

No sweat markings. Tom completely striped the hat and replaced everything. It has a circular sticker in the crown that says only Stetson.

Today, another Panama blocked by Tom Gomez with another striped ribbon. This one is a montecristi from Panama Bob that Tom and I designed together. He's working on another brisa for me that will be more western flavored with a leather band. I'm anxious to see how that one turns out, but I expect it to be very nice.

Will have to go to straw or Panama when I go out later :D

That one looks good, Scott. I like the green ribbon with the rusty colored felt, and you wear it well.
