What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[StoryPNW]

A granite beaver felt Gannon Wanderer was my hat for some tasks while waiting to do yard work.

The Gannon worked to shelter and protect my bald pate.

Post yard work I am enjoying a glass of watermelon juice under the brim of a straw hat. A PHD straw hat is my belated nod to National Straw Hat Day.

Cheers to hat folks, Eric -

Eric, I love your ORs but the hat I have in the works with Wolfbrae will be styled after the Wanderers. Great hats today!

Early cheers for a New Hat Day coming to your house! I can not wait to see the new collaboration between yourself and Wolfbrae.

New Stetson work hat.
I like how the brim edge has a different straw

color for effect.

"Negretti" "Special Qualität" "Adonis" possibly early 1900s. I don't know the German Hat Company that made this Wool Stiff Felt but hopefully one I will based on the Factory Trademarks. Negretti is a type of Wool that can be used to make hats. This Stiff Felt is light in weight (110 grams) and with smaller dimensions. The Negretti Wool Felt is very dense which results in a very smooth Finish. I found this Wool Stiff Felt back in 2010.

Negretti Merino

This type of sheep grew also a very fine wool but showed a low-set compact body. While great stress was laid on the quantity of greasy wool yield and dense wool growth, the tough skin finally developed heavy folds on the neck rump, haunches and tail. The fine wool produced was especially known for its high content of lower solving grease. At the beginning of the 19th century, breeding activities in the former Prussian provinces of Silesia and Brandenburg tended to overcome the disadvantage of overemphasized breeding developments of the Electorals and Negrettis. They tried to combine the adverse advantages of both breeds by combination. This resulted in a fine wool type called the "Eskurial" or "German Thoroughbred Sheep". In the middle of the last century, the production of superfine wool ceased, due to the requirement of longer, coarser and less crimped wool. Breeding of the former type of sheep became unprofitable through insufficient yield and falling prices for finest wool.

You get the nod for Sharp Dressed Man of the Week. Love the bowler.

A tan hued Royal DeLuxe Stetson OR was my hat for a morning walkabout.

I worked the woods edge picking up detrius getting prepared to cut the grass. I changed to a Royal DeLuxe Stetson OR (gray hued felt).

Completed my preparations and went and sipped coffee on the deck. A tan Stetson Open Road paired well with my Costa Rican medium roasted coffee.

I have to cool my jets until around 9:00am. That is the unofficial earliest time to cut the lawn. I checked and found that there is no "lawn cutting time" city law in my neighborhood. My wife instituted her law, no lawn cutting/chainsaw or loud outside noise until after 9:00am. I am obeying the law.

Cheers, Eric -

Good man, Eric. It's bad news when you break mama's law!

Big WOW on that one Steve! Bob found a real gem there…. And the perfect owner! You wear it VERY well.

Just arrived Resistol 5X Beaver that I’m working on bringing back to open crown after decades of wearing a cattleman’s crease.

It’s a great light grey and not the normal silverbelly or sand.
