Thanks Joe. Optimo refurbed it from a thin-ribbon Western style to a fedora.That’s a dandy Perry
Great outfit Jonesy. Looks way to windy and choppy for surfing.Guatemalan theme on the daily Corona Crawl today with my SunBody Guatemalan palm straw, a Guatemalan hand beaded hat band, along with a hand loomed Ikat fabric Guatemalan Shirt. The trade winds were back today at a brisk clip, but the SunBody is heavy enough not to end up in the surf. I wore a hickory stripe cotton mask from Monsivais, but didn't really need it as there was no on around on the coastal path or the beach. There were hardly any surfers as well, so I swam out right in front of the life guard tower, way pasts the breakers, and floated over the 8 foot waves.
Peace!

Thanks, I have traveled many times in Southern Mexico and Guatemala and love the culture.
I think I got several beaded hat bands from HandmadeMayanArts on Etsy.

Took a walk around the pond to get some exercise this morning. I wore my leather Henschel western hat. This one stands out in Japan where you’re lucky to see a western hat ever. But having purchased a resistol, it now feels remarkably understated.

I met some fellow foreigners on my walk.

The foreign turtles have taken over most of the waterways in Japan, meaning it’s now rare to see an indigenous turtle.

This expectant mother is a fellow antipodean. She’s in for a disappointment, though. Being the only one of her kind, these eggs won’t be hatching.
This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Soft Felt Hats. J. Hückel´s Söhne was nationalized as Tonak after 1945.
J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", 58cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim with Curl 2 1/4 inches, probably 1930s. The felt is very light weight and very pliable so easily dry creases. The off-white wide sweatband, gilded liner logo, liner piping, and barbed hat cord are all fantastic.

30 Days to 30 Hats - Day 28

Lord Kent - Beaver 15 Homburg
My 30 days of hats would not be complete without an homburg entry. Hence.. an appearance by the Lord Kent “Custom Made” Beaver 15 Homburg as it is currently my only such hat. While as Stefan and Steve both taught me you can “dress down” the homburg with side dents... I do still prefer to wear this hat to dress up a bit for ‘special occasions’. Today that special occasion will be to celebrate Day 28 of the 30 Days to 30 hats. With this entry we have now completed 4 weeks! Hooray!!!

A couple cool details on this hat for me... the little flyer shoved into the sweatband for the hat store Joes Hat Corner.... and initials on the sweat that matched my grandfather’s
Thanks TIm.Nice one Perry. Love that ribbon color.
Keep it! Looks good on you Bill.This is the last hat I was able to get from Art Fawcett as he was closing up shop. Panama with a dark olive ribbon treatment. The brim is only 2 1/2" so it may have to go at some point.
