Thank you, Andrew, and welcome. I appreciate your candid comments.

I will post many more photos of landscapes as well as subjects I find visually compelling in a more appropriate thread, FEDORAS AFIELD, when time permits.

My hat selection for this trip is limited to the three Montecristis I brought along, so I am afraid my hat portraits will be somewhat repetitive. As far as virtually identical portraits, they are a manifestation of my affinity for photo montages.

Your hats are always top shelf. Your photos are always sharp. Your narratives are succinct. AND now you have shown the wisdom of Solomon. Well played Al!:eusa_clap

Beautiful boater with a lovely ribbon, Robert!

Thank you, Al.

Those Montecristis can certainly entertain repeated visual interest in any landscape. Handy that you can swap.

Definitely. I'm intrigued by the travel plan... how do you manage three fine hats?

Joao, I hope the the new improved nose is healing well. Good to see you back.

Thank you. The doctor says it's healing very well. Just need to keep washing it inside with sea water.
Next week she will remove the stitches inside.

Joao, hope you're breathing easier at night.

Joao - Stetson looks good. Hope you're sleeping better.

I think so. Don't know if I still snore. Thank you.

Glad to see you on the pages again, Joao! And a beautiful hat!! :eusa_clap

Thank you, I love it too.

Jao, too cool, my friend!

Thank you

Today I returned to my beater, the Buckskin Resistol Diamond Horseshoe. It helped me keeping the sun out of my nose.

Lost a bit of weight because I'm at a cold liquid diet (it feels good because we are in Summer season now).

Justin, very very nice long hair!

AnA, sharp look! Hat and shirt works well together!

Alan, what a beauty wide brimmed Western and super Milan today!

Jeff, looks very good that 7x, a fine hat and suits you well!

Joao, very nice photo with your Stetson, I hope it's better now for you after your nose surgery!

Perry, wonderful looking hat. Stands you great!

Sam, looks like a shorter brimmed Mallory, fantastic swoop!

Al, your July travel, are phenomenal. You should write a travel guide with your splendid photos! Marvelous Optimo!

Robert, terrific Dobbs with a lovely pug!

David, every penny worth, your worth and worth!

g-durand, sharp, sharp, damn sharp!

Richard, I understand. I guess, Rehfus had sold a lot of hats to Retailer after closing his factory!
Sharp looking Wegener!

 

[mayserwegener]

Richard, No, this factory, definitely closed in 1963-64.This hat could be a "new" old Stock hat from a retailer who stored some Rehfus.

It definitely could be from around 1963. It looks 1960s to me.

David, Al, Sam, Robert, Alan, Joao, Perry, All Super!

What a great place for a Shabbat service, Andy.

indeed! Great place!

My pics here are usually of foreign travel, but last week Mrs Blackthorn and I visited the Gold Country of California (some of it, anyway). We hit Sonora, Jamestown, Angel's Camp, and Mercer Cavern.

Mercer Cavern:

My favorite model in front of the place we had lunch, dating back to the 1860s:

This guy won't say "fedoras are SO passe" again. It seems they never learn:

 

[Blackthorn]

We visited the "Mark Twain cabin." We were all excited until we read the monument, which admits the cabin was built in 1922, many years after Twain was there. Oh well. Here we are:

 

[Blackthorn]

And then on to Angel's Camp

This is where they have the famous jumping frog contest, popularized by Twain:

Thanks for sharing, Blackthorn... and Good Shabbos, Andy!

Steve & Manfred - thanks for that I'll defer to your experience on the age, it was certainly worth what I paid, even if the shipping left something to be desired.

Woodrow today - it's unlined and surprisingly cool given the fur:
