Power company here is doing their best. Yesterday they knocked power out 4 times while replacing old utility poles. In the process they evidently took out the fiber optic lines too. No internet so I'm doing everything by cell phone today.

Thought it was time for a lesser but loved hat today. One of the modern Stetson Whippets

Don't think I've worn this one in a bit, a brown Mallory Aristocrat quality, sweatband remade by B.M. Franklin and Co.

Edit - I buried the lede on this one, the triple- stitch over welt brim.

I can't quite out my finger on it but this suits you better than most. Maybe the color and fit, I don't know but it looks good on ya. I'd wear that one more!

Love those interesting brim treatments too.

Back in the 50’s RD open road today since it’s bright and dry. It’s been my daily wear aside from rainy days.

My only concern is its age, but it’s impossible to get a newer hat quite like it. View attachment 815530 View attachment 815531 View attachment 815532 View attachment 815533

They may be harder to come across in Asia (at least I think that's where you're located if I remember correctly), but they still seem to be plentiful on the used market here in the US. I think it was one of Stetson's most popular hats. As long as you're a smaller size, ones in great condition can be had for much less than a new custom hat.

But if you wanted one that you could reorder if you wore it out, I think Gannon or Northwest hats could both do a bang up job of recreating that particular style at a reasonable price.

Back from another dog "walk" while under the brim of a Gannon Wanderer in a whiskey beaver felt.

I have been working to cut the raspberry canes. I chose a Resistol with a grand ribbon treatment for the efforts.
