Going to be a hot, humid sunny day here... time for some straw
That is a mouth-wateringly scrumptious buffet of felted goodness, Timmy!!This morning I chose my Stetson 3X Open Road in Gray. I'll admit that I might have a small problem with these Open Roads... can't seem to stop looking at them for sale ads.lol.
* who knows, by the end of the day I will probably have had each and every one of them on for awhile. View attachment 619499 View attachment 619500 View attachment 619501 View attachment 619502 View attachment 619503
Another trifecta of stunners, Eric. LOOOOOOVE that Petersham treatment!Good morning hat folks. My morning walkabout was under the brim of a Stetson Buckaneer. The stitched brim treatment is well done. The light gray-blue felt has a stitched brim edge. The mid sized ribbon really gives dimension to the crown and brim size.
Back home I switched to a Lee All American. This gray-blue felt is very malleable. The crown crease was formed by the manufacturer. Side dents I can change the crown crease I can not. This minty hat is part of the Hirsch Hat shop find.
I had a couple of light yard chores and I selected a Stetson Flagship to wear. The Petersham ribbon treatment I do like. It gives the hat a casual appearance. The other day I wore a Flagship with a "normal" ribbon and the hat has a dressier look. The edge stitching is distinct. The fawn hued felt I find easy to wear. This minty hat is another of the Hirsch Hat finds.
Thanks for letting me share. Cheers, Eric -
Looks like you got itI seem to have forgotten how to post a photo. Let's see if this works. This should be a Fletcher bowler, English, probably wool. We've been having the June gloom weather pattern in my part of California. I took the picture just before cutting down the bougainvillea in the background. View attachment 619583

What a wonderful blue Homburg to celebrate it!
That’s a beautiful hat (and a pretty nice car, too!). Definitely don’t want to get grease on that one…Hello to all here at the FL. I hope everyone has a great weekend ! Despite having worn all 5 of my Open Roads yesterday this morning I picked a similar hat out for today. This time I chose my Resistol 3X Kitten finish with 3 cord ribbon hatband. Probably won't have it on long though as my grandson and I are currently in the process of replacing the clutch in my 1979 MG Midget that I am giving to him when he turns 16 next January.
Hope y'all have a good 'un !
