Just what I was thinking. Mine are old Akubras that I picked up for very little, or cheap palm straw.I wish my "chore hats" could be so nice ! lol. Beautiful selection as usual Eric !
Woo-hoo!! What a pair, Eric!! Very nice!Good morning. A Stetson OR Twenty-Five "chore hat" was my soirée, birdfeeder filling and limb moving fedora.
A Lee All-American in gray was my change for sitting on the deck and sipping coffee. This minty hat is from the Hirsch haberdashers find.
Cheers, Eric -
Very nice, Bob.With temps still in the 80s I’ve kept the straws handy. A slight dip in temperature has me dipping my head into some fur felt. Circa 1929 Stetson Select Quality Tropic Weight.

Making bread is a trick that has a learning curve and it takes a while to figure out which recipe works for you. Then there’s the million “secret” ways of doing things and all the various tools one needs. Just like hats or anything else, once you jump into something you find out there’s a lot to find out.
I’ve found that making a “bread sponge” first, is the way to go for tastier, fluffier, longer shelf life breads and also ending up with a more open “crumb”.
It’s enjoyable if ya have the time, and taste great too—if you’re lucky and happen do it right, that is.
YouTube has been a big help!
This morning's lid is a Stetson 7X Clear Beaver Quality Open Road with embroidered Last Drop liner. Took me awhile to find one of these in my size that I could afford.
Hope y'all have a good 'un.... TGIF !!
