What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Somber morning indeed. Hearing the news on my public radio station this morning had me gulping air thinking of all the families and communities. Be safe all.

Early morning dog walk in a thin ribbon Adam. Minty hat worked to keep the fog and mist off my bald pate this morning.

Our weather is steaming up so I switched to a bolder ribbon treatment felted hat with a very spiffy mesh interior. This hat has a bunch of great characteristics. Some obvious and others not so much like the felt is very malleable. I was curious as to whether the mesh makes the hat more comfy (than the thin ribbon Adam above) to wear in this weather. Both hats are similar felt weight, brim length and very similar crown height. We shall see.

Good tidings and safe wishes from Minnesota, Eric -

I worked a little too hard in one of my Hopoka straws a week or so ago and got some stains in it and some wear and tear on the sweat. I gave it a bath, but there are still a few dark spots.

I think the straw came out of the bath quite a lot stiffer than it was when it went into it.

The crown is quite rigid now. And I seem to have the pinch off center. Ha ha.

A favorite straw Michael. How did you bathe it?
