Posting for Melania (or, more particularly, our enjoyment).

My "lowrider" Dodger hat. Lowrider hats were an invention of the Mexican lowrider crowd in L.A. way back when. See https://www.frankshatsgarciahats.com/ Pic is not today but an earlier visit to Dodger Stadium. I actually think this thing looks pretty lame and I bought it on a whim a few years...

Is your first picture the same hat as the other two? The first looks like it is in the ballpark of what you ordered. The greenish one is not bluegrass green. I will say that colors in digital photos and on computers can vary widely. A picture of my Akubra bluegrass green hat in front of my...

Nice. I have a Blue Mountain myself, but haven't worn it much. Every time you post, I miss Japan! I've been there at least 16 times, mostly for business but not all, I love Japan! I had a very close friend in Ashiya and usually would take a day when in Tokyo and visit him, up and back in one...
