What could be better than vodka martini (Grey Goose, easy on the Vermouth), Stetson and Sinatra in the background? Hey just sayin'.....

[emoji16] It wouldn't surprise me, I have had my picture taken with tourists before.

Me too. In my case I don't think they are necessarily tourists. Big beards tend to do that. I try to be polite but I'm always somewhat hesitant not knowing what they will do with the pictures or where the pictures might end up.

DD, I'm sure you have had the same looks & experiences. Some people love it, & some people think you're homeless.

How true! People either love it or hate it.

That is outstanding! I really like the ribbon and brim stitching. Did you do the mods, or have it done?

This CD was originally sold by one of the Panama hat dealers in FL. It was probably made for stock to their specs or could have been an early CD. I was unable to learn much from the dealer. I bought it as new in the box. It came with a very Western-like flange, no brim binding & a two cord ribbon. I had Bond do the circle stitch on the brim & the mid ribbon. Since the felt color is more of what silver belly used to be & not some tan/beige undertones I went with a silver/blue ribbon. It has great blocking, is soft, fits great & I like it a lot.
