Red, thank you!Love the crease on this one Harv. Don't see many Bantams, this one is a treat.

Appropriate hat for such a auspicious event. Love the history of this Organization. Out here in the west, our history does not have such deep in the 18th century roots. Cool.Nice, Harv!
Tonight I will celebrate 25 years as a member of the Engineers Club of Dayton. Founded in 1914 by Charles Kettering and Col. Edward Deeds. I am privileged to have been on the member rolls that have held Orville Wright, Arthur Morgan, and Hans Von Ohain (and Edward Murphy who gave us Murphy's law). I was sponsored originally by Wilson Charbonneau, a grandnephew of Toussaint Charbonneau, who married Sacajawea. It's a big night for me, personally.
So naturally, I'm wearing my Stetson 25.

I like the weave on this one! Great looking straw.View attachment 76727
An older semi colodo today.
This history is important to capture. I tip my Stetson to your wife!Thanks, Jack. My wife and I have always wondered what it was like for him as a kid.
"Aunt Sacajawea, tell us a story!" (In truth, I don't know if he ever met her).
Wilson was an interesting guy himself. He owned several companies and was once the GM of the Burlington Bees Minor League baseball club.
My wife interviewed him once as part of a project she was working on. Here's a guy in his mid-80s complaining, "Technology's not moving fast enough."
I tread the path of large footprints.

Another 95 degree day on tap, this time with heat index warnings. Didn't stop be from putting on this old 3X Stetson, for the morning at least.

I'm not exactly sure why, but it's currently riding in my all time favorite hat position.

I haven't decided if it's going on my bike ride yet. That might be pushing it.

You sir, make an old Stetson Derby look so classy.
Stay cool and hydrated buddy! That lid looks so cool, but in 95 degrees it might have to go back in the box.
Congrats from a fellow engineer.Nice, Harv!

Huge congrats, Jim. Very impressive, and the hat's top shelf as well.Thanks. When you have time, check out www.engineersclub.org. There is more history there. You'd dig it. And if you are ever in Funkytown, I'll give you a tour of the building.
Also thanks @RJR, @1mach1, @Bob Hufford, and @sergevjandervreede.

Taking my new (old) Habig homburg out for a bike ride today. I have decided homburgs are my favourite cycling hats on windy days. More pictures of the hat in the German & Austrian Hutmacher's thread here. Glad to see all of you still looking stylish as ever, and some new faces too!
CONGRATS to you, @Frunobulax!!!! I hope you got one of those great engineer's caps...
