Good evening.

Arrived back in Minnesota just before evening storms roll thru. I wanted to share that I am wearing the new straw cap the past days. This Jonathan Cordova cap rocks!

The architecture provides plenty of space and venting to be comfortable. Just enough stiffness to keep the cap shape and well off my head. Perfect.

This evening was a Steteson evening.

Today...in spite of the 91 deg temp and smothering humidity i couldn’t hold off with my recently acquired VS from a generous fellow lounger. Thank you @Ordinary Guy, Harry, for one very special hat. I know you’re missing it!!
I don’t have the superlatives to do justice to this hat. It’s just plain Art!! in black cherry!
Now i know what the big deal is.
Be well. Bowen
Gorgeous hat. Beautiful colour and the ribbon and bow treatment is awesome.

Out in the Leone Cappelli Milan today. I swapped pugs with the Wormser Milan and I like the change.

A guy at the gas station yelled over: Put that hat away! I WANT that hat! That's a nice hat!

A rarity, but I've decided I like this hat better with the front brim up. I know, I know.... heresy!

Before Mike Miller put in a new sweat and repaired some broken threads in the weave:

I'd say the hat has imprioved vastly with the new pug, Doug. The original one communicates "hippie commune" to me.

That Dobbs is Sweet, Stefan. Both great hats.

Thanks Steve. Feel free to take as much heat as you can get, as long as you are taking it from here. Actually we just dropped from 96 to 84 in 18 minutes. It's rather pleasant out now. I am going off to listen to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band out of doors in a few minutes. Still haven't decided on the right hat for it. Ha ha.

Thanks, Michael. I'm enjoying the felts while I can. The same heatwave that's heading for Denmark will hit us too. These waves generally don't last for more than a few days over here though. Chance for straws!

Just the idea of a straw cap is fantastic, Eric. The execution is incredible! The Whippet is no slough either.

Great pics, Max! I found the same thing with a Borsalino parabuntal that was a bit too large. I couldn't keep it on my head in even the slightest breeze!

Hat looks, great; wife and daughter look even better, but you look alright with the unshaven scruff!
It's the first time I haven't shaven in five days. I figure if I don't do it now, when I've no patients, I never will.

I love heat.

Looking forward to your hat choice, Michael. Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll want it [emoji4]

Stay cool, my friend, and enjoy the jazz.

I decided to go with one of the Biltmore milan homburgs

But sadly, the show was rained out.

Best to take it easy then, Michael. The Melvin should come in handy with that. Love that hat.
Thanks Stefan. I'm pretty fond of the Melvin, too. After several searches I've turned up exactly zero hits on this brand.

Enjoying the felt weather some more (heat is coming).

Great looking homburg. How do you compare the felt to American made Stetsons?

Thanks,
Michael

A return to average temperature today. So I can go back to the felt hat morning/straw hat afternoon regime. Marathon

Have a good one,

Good looking Marathon Michael. Front crease shows a bit of a Indiana Jones "turn" at the front pinch. Love it,rugged, stylish, and full of character.
