What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Shoe]

With the weather cooling down a bit here, I was hoping to pull out a felt hat, but the weather gods were not having it. Up again to 30c. Still, the Akubra Range (Etsuko’s favourite of my summer hats) hasn’t had much head time this year, so it was good to have a chance to wear it.

Kia kaha - kia maia - kia manawanui , Eric

Yesterday evening I was rambling about in a vintage Stetson Buckaneer. The spiral stitched blue hued hat is very cool.

Very early morning coffee in a Gannon Playboy (inspired by the Stetson version). The bluemist felt hue is grand.

Morning dog soirree in a Stetson 7X.

Grocery store run in a Stetson 3X Open Road.

Grilling some breakfast in a VS Wanderer. This is an Art Fawcett created version of the Stetson Wanderer (Whippet with mid ribbon treatment). The dove light felt is one of my favorite felts.

Cheers, Eric -

Cordova Straw Cap on a beach at The Libyan Sea in Southern Crete. I’m finding a cap easier to travel with, and there is a hot wind in from Africa bringing a dry heat that this straw handles very well.

Ka pai, Eric!
I had to look up those last two. I’m still a beginner in Māori, but I’m feeling proud to have got through the first season (100 lessons) of the language program I’ve been studying along with.
Language theory says all languages are equal in terms of difficulty. Children learn their own languages at a similar rate wherever they are, but clearly when learning a second language, it helps when the grammar is similar to your mother tongue. There are three word orders that almost all world languages fall into. English is SVO (subject, verb, object), the second most common, in terms of number of languages. My second language, Japanese, is SOV, the most common. Wouldn’t you know it, Māori is the third type, VSO! Tricky, but both fun and fascinating.
Starting season two next week.
Love seeing your hats, always.

Kia ū
Gary

That shirt / hat combination is awesome.

I don't think Art-lite will find a better advertising photo for the hat than that, Alan. Nice!

Great looking Akubra straw, Gary. Love the pug. Excellent choice of shirt, too.
Etsuko's relaxed elegance in her Maxim and stylish summer dress has more than a touch of Audrey Hepburn it.

Beautiful hat. Why is it that Gamebird hats always loose their size tags? I rarely see one that still has it.
