Off for a little shopping now.
Have a good one,
Michael
Thanks WK. I got this one at a thrift, but I think you can still buy them for under $10 at Tractor Supply and other stores of that nature.Now there's a hat we all need in our rotation.....sun visor to boot. Very cool Michael
I am doing outside chores and am now wearing a soaking wet t-shirt. Totally yukky weather. Since I needed to move mulch under some trees and evergreens I am wearing a felt hat to protect my head from limbs. 
Straw only in this weather.
The humidity is equal to the temps this morning.
A vintage Air Command, Penny's Marathon in a glorious blue felt was my hat choice. This is a terrific value in a hat in it's day. Excellent appointments, felt and quality. The felt is gloriously malleable. A center dent, a diamond - no effort just put them in. The taller crown and big brim (2 7/8") give the hat some character and versatility.
A pleated liner is a classy appointment. The leather sweat is excellent quality. The binding edge has more ribbon on the top than the bottom - cool. The workmanship is excellent. The stitches while not as fine or close as a couple of my other "like" hats are just well done.
It will sit on a block and have the leather sweat conditioned later today.
No more felt today.
Best, Eric -

That's one very nice looking MonteCristi, Jack. Stay cool out there. Frightening heatwave hitting parts of the USA this week.
I like it better than a pug also, & I like the fact that it's a center crease instead of a tear drop or diamond.
Thanks BB. Although probably not my style, I have seen some pattern pugs that I like & especially some made from old neckties. Bob @ BSHW does some of that. Pokadots don't do anything for me & never had any interest in plain black or chocolate.
Any possibility the station might have a video up?
Two super looking hats, Stefan. Can't wait to hear about the Dobbs. I won't mention the tie, I don't want to keep side tracking the hat thread [emoji6]
