Tell Nate I'm ON it. I've only seen one other hat from that store in the last ten years, but I'll widen my parameters for Nate.

At his 100th birthday celebration a few years ago, here is Nate (his brother/business partner, Ben, actually) checking out the hat he sold me. He remembered!!!

Today....the basically unheard of, unheralded, maybe unimpressive to the eye Linpark Styles Bristol Deluxe.
Upon closer inspection the unique appointments surprise. The sweatband quality and it’s attachment and the unique under-welt stitching that presents as almost a felted edge.
I have very very few hats that you can bend the brim or crease with one finger and it stays. One such is my very old Boss Raw Edge. Maybe it’s just tired like me. Lol
Be well. Bowen
Damn Bowen...just damn! That's sweet!

First outing with the VS remodel of a very vintage Montecristi (maybe 30's / 40's). Just back from the Sat morning farmers market. Got stopped twice about the hat, inquiring minds. Art tells me he used a new ribbon color called Tree Tan (light brown with a hint of pinkish/orange. The knot is a marshmellow creme color. ;)

That is a fantastic looking Montecristi, Ken. I can understand why you were stopped by admirers. Mr. Fawcett is truly the hat whisperer.

My upper lip is sweating, Bowen.

My very first fedora, from NATE’S, purchased new (Old Stock) in 1972. A circa 1950 Lee private label. It’s still in the rotation!

What’s he think of this?! Sorry, Nate, it’s a 7-3/4 XLO. I will be on the lookout for a smaller one now, though...

What were you wearing before that, if I may be so bold?
