Wall hangers are useful, but dont forget the old standby... THE DINING ROOM TABLE lol

Relaxing out back this afternoon with a nice little 3x Stetson that was snatched from the jaws of oblivian last year It started life as a Stetson Tijuana. Some brain dead rodent decided that they needed to get a big pair of scissors and hand cut the brim down t about 1-1/2". It also had a...

Ive got several of these from Amazon. Wood base and coated heavy wire holders. Each piece holds two hats.... each box will take care of six hats total. I decided that hats 4 deep was more practical than 6 deep for me. Pretty flexible for filling up a wall Think ive got 60 hats on the wall to...

Akubra weather here in East Texas the next few days. ( Stormy windy, and potentially pretty wet). Today I pulled one of the Stylemasters off the wall

Love the color!

Dont cha just hate it when a hat draws you in like that lol?

Fed Ex didnt get here with my new $12 Akubra Boomerang till almost 830 last night so I had to rush out at first light to start the day this morning. Really surprised at how great the condition is... no spots, wavy bits and it fits! I havent even brushed this one yet. Truely ready to wear...

Nice! Ive got Stylemasters in Black, Acorn Fawn and Carbon grey, but Ive never seen a Federation blue one.. I like that one

This hat takes care of a couple issues for me... #1 I didnt own a Borsalino and #2...I didnt have a Navy blue hemp hat ( I have a couple Naturals a turquoise, a Black, a Green, and a dark brown but no dark blue ( Im particularly fond of Hemp Stratoliners)

The Biltmore is getting there... already enlarged a hair since it got here... little bit more and it should pretty much drop into place without having to screw it on lol. These old Peterson Canadians are really nice... the extra inch or so of briar in the stem really help make a cool smoke...

Back from the mornings errands and coffee. Piddling around the backyard trying to get some edging finished before it rains again. Thought it might be a good opportunity for some Hemp Maintenance. Steamed up the new Biltmore braided Hemp and screwed it on tight... see it I cant loosen up the fit...

Why not Indeed! fun hat

Monday greetings to all! Did a little brushing and steaming on a few hats yesterday including this Stetson 4x James Dean Foundation lid. Figured while its all spiffy I might as well give it some public time. This is a nice soft but firm dress weight felt. Molds well with a puff of steam but its...

Little bit of fog and drizzle this morning. Felt like a good time for the little Stetson Roadster B. Ive always wondered if it a modern Stetson thang, but the sweatband says Royal, while the liner says Royal Deluxe
