Heavy rains called for this afternoon, so I'm taking the Excellent Stratoliner out for another test flight to see how it handles it. Hopefully, better than @rclark's.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
(wet) Hat tip to Matt.
Actually, it didn't get but misted on today.
I would like to think that your Excellent Stratoliner would have held up, regardless...?
A Royal quality, on the other hand.
After an unexpected rain, based on warnings here I anticipated that the brim might droop some from the outside in. Instead, the whole enterprise sorta sagged down from the base of the crown outward. Ick.
[I set it to dry in a reasonable facsimile of its original shape, but still: Ick.]
Stetson's current "Profile 10," and the factory-proportioned Stratoliner in particular, are favorite shapes/proportions; if the Caribou SE came in an higher grade, I'd be all over it.
Instead? I now foresee at least one Gannon in my future. For which I of course blame all of you.
And Stetson.

From my perspective he's great! He and his wife were gracious enough to facilitate the purchase of a hat for me this week when a seller "local" to them would not ship. Thanks again Jay!!

Gannons are like popcorn. You can't stop with just one.
The only reason I have doubts about this Strat is Rick (@rclark) has mentioned his Excellent Strat tapered and shrank after a good rain. The only other Excellent Strat I know of on the Lounge belongs to Mike (@Redfokker), which was previously owned by @moontheloon. Don't know if his is battle-tested.

Thanks, Mike. It really is a dark gray. Certain light brings out the different colors.

Stefan, Thank you! I am not sure if I have another Stiff Felt with such a flat brim. I think this hat could be occupational but just a guess.

Trying to ward off the unnatural and disgustingly warm weather with the Adam THE POLAR.
Of course... I can't complain too much for there is a nice silver lining: great top down weather.
Have a thrilling Thursdee!

I have not seen Richard here in a very long time. He owns 2 hats, from me, earlier builds. He was a very nice Gentleman to work for. If anyone has contact with him, tell him I said hello. Thanks!

Charlie, Thanks! I think this one is still not wide enough for Joao but it's close.
Thank you!
Bob, Thanks!
Stefan, Thanks again! Yes this one is unique.
I think it had to have been a custom / special order. Thank you!
Matt, Thank you! Yes it's definitely not standard. As I mentioned I think it might have been a special order.
Bowen, Thanks! This hat is very unique + fantastic. I haven't worn it in a long while so I gave it a go yesterday.
Greg, Thank you! Yes it could pass as a Western style hat.
Mike, Thank you!

Top down day? That's what she said!

I really like that Polar! And she said " what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down"Trying to ward off the unnatural and disgustingly warm weather with the Adam THE POLAR.

Thank you gentlemen. That's both for the comments on the hat and the reminder that mentally I'm still in seventh grade (and hope to never leave).
And DD...
I suggested that she ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.[emoji5]
