  4. cornflower
  5. Prussian blue (later renamed "midnight blue")
  6. cadet blue
  7. aquamarine
  8. navy blue
  9. sky blue
  10. ultra blue
  11. blizzard blue
  12. cerulean
  13. teal blue
  14. Pacific blue
  15. robin's egg blue
  16. denim
  17. blue bell
  18. outer space
  19. wild blue yonder
This morning I have chosen two blue hats for my escapades.

A Monson gilled fedora went out with me and Horatio for a dog soirée.

Filling the bird feeders and picking up after my dog while wearing a unique 1930's Kensington, made in Canada and retailed from Huley, NB.

Both hats are certainly blue, but which Crayola crayon blue? I guess I will need to purchase a big box of crayons to solve my question.

Cheers, Eric -
Two favorite blues Eric. You never cease to amaze!

Spring has sprung for Brent's hat pictures! Yay! Great color on that felt.

That is one monster piece Bill. All the bells and whistles.

Ol black Miller Western just felt right today for our last little dose of cooler winds.... and my first little dose of COVID vaccine. The countdown is on!

Congrats on getting your Jab today. The wife and I got our first dose too. Seems that a jet black hat is the way to go for the event.

Brent, what a hat, what a backdrop. Fantastic photos!

EXACTLY what Steve said!

Thanks, fellas. Spring lasts about three weeks where I’m at. The grass is already starting to brown and the mercury is flirting with 90! Time to bring out the straw hats.

Straight from mudslide season into brushfire season. (I grew up in Southern California. Last year my wife and I wrote a check for the church camp where we met —-it had been badly damaged by the fire season; not to mention COVID.) Good luck to you!

Hey all!
The Keith Brothers "The Tiger Special" line of hats was, according to the Professor, produced between 1905ish till 1921. That means that mine is now at least one hundred years old.

If I recall correctly a Lounger whose name I forget (but whose knowledge I respect) mentioned that this big, rumpled, "carefully careless" bow was a thing briefly in the late nineteen-teens so I suspect it hit triples a few years back.
The best pics of the insides are posted in the Keith Bros hats and caps thread.
Additional note: my selfie grimace has not suffered from lack of use.
Have a great day!
