Congratulations, it looks fantastic!
It looks to me like you went for the vintage grosgrain ribbon. Is that the same Midnight Blue as mine, or a brighter blue? I was also pondering matching the brim binding to the ribbon on mine before opting to match it to the felt. I can see now that there was no wrong option. The other difference I see is that mine has a wind trolley. Admittedly, I’ll likely never use it, but I still added it just because I like the look.
Wear it in good health!

I was thinking it was Navy Blue, but midnight is probably correct. I did ask for a winf trolley, but I think it got lost in the process

I was just happy it arrived as I leave for Japan Thursday morning

Thanks for the inspiration. Hornskov makes a wonderful hat

Feels like a larger hat day for some reason. Nice bright day calls for a nice bright hat. This one is an American Hat Co 4x... (back when they were in Houston Tx) Im guessing from late 70's or early 80's. Sort of a western fedora. 5-1/2" crown, 2-3/4" brim. Came to me with no hatband.... good excuse for some ribbon work. Didnt want to go too large, but wanted enough ribbon to camouflage the crown height a bit. went with a 1" grosgrain with campaign bow. Was thrilled to see the nice condition when it came in. really like this hat.... now I need to figure out how to not get morning dew dropping of the roof to hit a hat EVERY time I step off the patio lol.

As always true to your style and outfit looks great with a stunning hat in the daylight.

What a kind compliment, thank you, much appreciated.

Thanks Timmy! I'll see your amazing victory homburg and raise you a big gator chomp! (I'm really not a huge devotee of any particular team - but I do have three degrees from UF so I feel entitled to at least a little pride.)

Royal Stetson Deluxe today after a sleepless night of excitement.

A very well match newsboy cap. I assume in herring bone tweed? Tie texture complements it. What brand is the hat as I have a few but they tend to be bit more streamlined.

Yep, it's herringbone tweed... it's from a local brand, bespoke.

A Stetson western hat in 5X clear beaver, c.1940.

I've got my second Hornskov in the works, so your Emissary is quite an inspiration, Rob.

Love the felt colour and contrasting ribbon treatment.

Gary is a bad influence for sure. (Kinda fits in with the rest of the crew)

Spring is definitely here despite being chilly in the morning. Grass is growing like mad. Warmed up nicely so it was straw hat time to mow. This ones an old LL Bean Panama ( tag says Equator). Kicking back with a Guinness afterwards

Hehe. I need to talk to Peter about upping my commission!

Thanks, Tim!
Runs on 91 octane and only gets 4.5 years to the gallon, so that adds quite a bit to the purchase costs.
