You make it look easy, Steve. Eastern Denmark, western hat.Resistol Western, XXX Beaver.
The softness of the felt definitely reveals the beaver mix.
The temperature lowered some, and the grey sky seemed to suggest this was the hat to wear today.

Liek the other one: a work of art.Not the finest montecristi in my collection, but pretty fine and one of the prettiest, I think. It must have had an interesting tropical early life (1940s, perhaps) and retains a small open wound which has been treated as best as I could.

Congrats, Bob!
Grandpa has got you covered!Thanks everyone! The whole family is really excited. We weren't sure this would ever happen as all three of our kids have said they didn't plan to have children. My baby girl (this girl's momma) turned 35 in the last month of her pregnancy.
Of course I have purchased the granddaughter's first good hat -- a Rand's 10X. Although it will be a while before she fits 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.
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.
