That would have been a no-brainer to BIN. I probably didn't even click on it because of the size.Yep.................the dreaded bay..............buy it now....so i did!

I have always wanted a Boater. They are such an impressive piece of headgear, reflecting style and panache.

Esther is making me a new hat, it will go with a specific outfit that I have in mind. When it's finished she will make my wife, Tina, a hat like this:
Tina has some material similar to the colour of the dress that the model is wearing, she plans to make a similar dress.
When we have our outfits I want to recreate the Jack Vettriano portrait "Lazy hazy days." We have the perfect bicycle to do it with too, a 1926 Phillips.

It is labeled "Bianchi" on the tip label..Label has the name arched with scroll ribbon under the name with Italian writing.
Sweat says "Genuine Flicker Milan" stamped unto it. So must be an English or American import though it is sized as a US (I hope, or it will be to big for me).

I think that ribbon suits the hat very well. It's the feathers that have to go.
What a brilliant idea! Of course, now you have to share the portrait with us; it's the law, you know.

Not a today pic but I'm sporting the Borsalino this morning. Grey, drippy day brightened up by some incredible felt.
Looks like it will be a nice one. I enjoy my boater. It gets as many double takes in the summer as a derby does during felt weather. I'm looking forward to some detail shots when it lands.Waiting for my first boater. A vintage Fine Straw Master Mode Shower Proof. Seller's pics aren't the best but its all I have.

I just ordered an inexpensive cotton Black cotton Porkpie hat from Amazon (It was but $14.99 but it should keep me cool in the summer and won't be damaged if I get caught in the rain). I can either crease the front to attain a "Popeye" Doyle look or leave it as it is. I may just keep the "Breaking Bad" profile.
At any rate, it's another hat!

That looks both comfortable and convenient. If a hat isn't useful there's little point to it, is there?

I won one of Miamibruno's auctions! A gorgeous Knox Stratoliner clone in a nice buff tan color. Adrian says it is a generous 7 1/8th, but he is going to give it a nudge to my 7 1/4, what a guy! Should be able to post the detail shots when I get back from a week long trip next week. Here are the auction photos. I am stoked!
