Just another day at work in an Akubra. My Angler got called up off the bench today.

We are up early, well I am, to get ready for today's Hat Festival. https://www.bridporthatfest.org/ Eccentric? Oh yes. Typically British? Absolutely. Good fun? You had better believe it.
My bespoke hat will probably be the only one there that's been made to measure. Looking at photos of last year's event, there are some seriously wacky hats to be seen. I might bring a photo or two home with me.

Superb!
You make it look easy, Steve. Eastern Denmark, western hat.
Liek the other one: a work of art.
Congrats, Bob!
Grandpa has got you covered!

Thanks Stefan!
Now I am taking a serious look at all those 6-1/2 and 6-3/4 hats.

Scala “Panama” (made in Panama, not Ecuador).
The shirt (in storage for 15-years) was a random selection before I heard the news.
RIP Jimmy.

Fair winds and following seas, JB. One of the best, a real loss.

The foray back into my Akubra collection continues.
Last weekend I sized down my original Federation IV (purchased back when I had a lot of hair) and finally got the sweatband in a few days ago.
I like this hat even better without the ribbon.
Losing Jimmy Buffett is slightly easier on such a fine afternoon, especially watching the start of college football with family helps. His music has been a big part of my life.
RIP Jimmy.

10th Commandment:
God recorded the 10th Commandment for us in Exodus 20:17:
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his servants, nor his ox, or his donkey.” The 10 Commandments are listed again in Deuteronomy 5, the order of the items not to be coveted is slightly different (wife before house), which argues against breaking this into two commandments as the Catholics do.
Thankfully there is no mention of coveting hats, or to be more precise, hatbands. What then is covet? A desire to possess (something, especially something belonging to another.) I'm loving, read that as coveting, that fabulous hatband,

Great week Stefan. I’m digging the blue of the Morreton
Thanks, Joe. It is an attractive blue.
Great to see the T&W Lees Western out and about, Stefan. Hat of the week for me. Mind you, I am somewhat connected to it so I'm not entirely an impartial judge
