Always a bit slow getting my hats up these days, but Sunday was a three Akubra day.
Inspired by @Ent‘s burgundy Stylemaster, I wore my Acorn Fawn one for shopping.

Later, for about one minute in the garden, but mainly for the walk to the garage, I wore my Fed IV.

Why did I go to the garage? To get my barbecue hat, a Snowy River.

No time for low & slow after grocery shopping in the morning, so it was hot & fast.

Etsuko also got into the spirit of things…a Barbisio back bow for housework!

To be fair, she just hadn’t got around to taking it off after shopping.

Thanks for sharing. What are those big white discs that look a little like onions but likely aren't?

Kind of you to say so Reggie, thank you. The Grand Central really gives your fabulous pinstripe suit the perfect compliment.

My own pinstripe I came across on a trader's stall at some festival. It was all but new but a very poor fit. Tina, my wife, took the panels apart, made new lining and then put it all back together. My bespoke hat tops off Tina's work in a complimentary way. Meaning, the lady approves.

Thanks Robert. Tina did a nice job with that coat and as always your shoe choice is always on spot. You have a spectator for every occasion.

They are indeed onions!

Borsalino late '70's today.

The bespoke silver hat sits well with this blazer and if you think that the bow tie looks familiar you would be right.

The excess fabric from the shirt after cutting the panels out was just enough for a bespoke bow tie.

The new Stetson 3x is shaping up nicely. Got a few stains out yesterday, did a little steaming, and did some time working on the crown and brim. Nice little lid

Stetson No.1 Quality sold at the factory store... from the foil size label and wide 3 panel manufacturing tag, I would guess 1935-1940.

Sweet Mother of Bobo the Clown!!! That is such overwhelming perfection, that I need a cigarette after just LOOKING at it. Thank you, Alan, for sharing that.
