Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - #395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Himel Bros. - The Ross Mk. 1 Leather Jacket Classic D-pocket motorcycle/aviator style jacket. 
I think Mike @Redfokker said ‘Boxcar‘. I think I’ve seen ‘box panel’. A style often used on back bows. Not technically gills. But I’d say in the gills family of treatments
Found a leftover photo of my storm day hat that didn't get uploaded before I lost my net access.

Good times!
Dang, Johnathon, you’ve got some great fedoras! Love the blue ribbon on a tan hat!
Thanks, Randall! I was fortunate enough to get this one from @M Hatman in a trade after pining over it for several months. The color of the ribbon is somewhat uncommon but I think it works well. Bonus on the box pleat treatment too:
As it happens, I bought a hammock a couple of weeks ago. Need to find two suitable trees to hang it from.
Looks good.
Thanks Jonathon. I did manage to come up with a storm related injury. I was out biking the day after the storm and skidded out on some wet leaves while trying to turn off the path to go around a downed free. Crunched my shoulder and it is still pretty much non-functional. But I did manage some hat shots this morning with the other arm.

Looks fantastic TerryWearing a Resistol Westerner that I converted a couple of years back, ('70s vintage?) I converted it to a thin ribbon Strat clone.
Before: it came to me in a crushed up condition and was missing the ribbon and the sweat was toast
Now: New sweat, ribbon, and brim binding. I put the original liner, size tag, and sweat bow back in the hat
The cat in the picture is our neighborhood moocher that comes around to be fed and to sleep on our porch.
Yeah, I figured if I’m gonna have to wear a mask, I’m gonna try to look as menacing & intimidating as possible!
