Thanks Steve... I’ve now decided to go with... it’s the speckled pattern from the ribbon spread onto the felt. How avant-garde
Yes! And you should hear it regularly! Great looking hat today Steve.Spring was definitely in the air today. I was able to wear a lighter weight coat along with my Stetson Premier.
I was flattered when a lady said, as I walked past, "that's a really nice hat." Don't you just love it when that happens View attachment 313766 View attachment 313768

Thanks Joe.Derby looks good on you Michael
Thanks Alan. I've been sort of looking for one like this for awhile now.NICE! Love it man.
Thanks Bob. I like that guess. It feels fairly old, but as I said, I have no real idea. I wonder when they quit using a taped seam on the sweat?Nice one Michael! From recent discussions I’m going to venture an “educated” guess of 1930 to 1942. (Keeping an eye out for that slap upside the head...)
Thanks Steve. Should be very aerodynamically stable. Ha ha.Wonderful new Derby, Michael. Thats a great outfit for it, too.
Great looking hat, and outfit, Steve. Not quite springlike here yet, but getting closer.Spring was definitely in the air today. I was able to wear a lighter weight coat along with my Stetson Premier.

Thanks Randy It is pretty minty. I think I have 3 other derbies, but they are all the tall crown forms. So this is the one I've been looking for.That one looks to be in great shape, Michael. Welcome to the derby club.
Thanks, Steve.Seems your wife has exquisite taste in just about everything, Gary.
Happy birthday to her.
Thanks, Rick.Handsome couple you two.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your lovely wife.
Do you keep bees, or plan on doing so?
Aww, shucks!You ain't so bad, dude
