What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[GHT]

We finally made it to the weekend & I'm out n about in my new to me Royal Stetson Playboy. This hat arrived yesterday with a raggedy sweatband but otherwise in beautiful condition. I spent the afternoon replacing the sweatband and sewing in the original small white bow and size tag to try to preserve some of the authenticity. I am lucky enough to own 3 other Playboys but this is the only one with a wind cord. Hope y'all have a good 'un !

Looks very professional Tim, what a talent you are.

For two weeks every year our rhododendrons treat us to a glorious floral display, I tell you, it's worth the fifty week wait. Complimenting the shirt and trousers is a bespoke Gamble & Gunn hat. My lady had it made specifically to wear in sunshine when I prefer not to wear a straw.

Evening out with soon to be married niece. The ever versatile Akubra RM Williams. And such a suit demands cocktails!
