Makes sense that these little "colonies" of folks from the same area are common, as it would be much less daunting to make the trip to America (in itself an ordeal) if you were going somewhere that there were people you knew and trusted when you got there. A support structure already in place, as it were.
Funny story...the guy that complained about the Peto heat told me that when he went home to visit he spent the first week of his month vacation sick as a dog. Apparently, one of the first things he did when he got home to Mom's house was to drink a big glass of water from the kitchen faucet. Never thought he could get la turista. I told him that in his heart he was still Mexican, but his guts had turned Gringo.
Where I’m at right now it seems as if most of the Mexican nationals I meet are from Michoacán. They are a vibrant and much needed part of the community. They’re also the reason I’ve gained twenty pounds since I moved here.

It’s not a fit for the thread, but this is where most of us hang out:
Stetson just released the 2019 Fall City (fedoras, etc.) catalog. Not many open crowns.

This looks interesting:
EDIT: I just realized the hat above is wool.

Really like that back bow. I've been looking for one in my size for a loooong time. I did find a good one on ebay last year...but it was advertised the wrong size! Had to send it back.

Am I reading it right? It looks as if the Royal De Luxe OR has been discontinued and the Royal OR is listed as “Firm” felt.

Now that you mention Michoacán, as I recall most of the Mexican nationals I knew when I lived in Calistoga were from there. And yes, great people who make great food!
My little town has now a large and thriving Latino community. It went from just a few people here and there that came up here to work in the woods and the fisheries, and later the hospitality industry, to now, 40 years later and they are buying homes, opening businesses, and bringing new life into what was a slowly dying, stagnating little town. And, the regional cuisine of Yucatán is pretty dang good. Better if you can handle the heat of Habanero chiles...
Plus, if you work in a kitchen with Yucatecos, you get to learn some really good cuss words in Mayan...

Hahaha! I never thought of that! Isn't it amazing that the Mayan people survived into modern times? They have a particular, lovely sing-song accent when speaking Spanish.Now that you mention Michoacán, as I recall most of the Mexican nationals I knew when I lived in Calistoga were from there. And yes, great people who make great food!

There was a Spaniard who was shipwrecked in Yucatán years before the Spanish main forces arrived. He married a Mayan princess, went native, and helped the Mayans against the Spaniards, teaching them Spanish tactics and participating in battle. Maybe that is why there are still Mayas today. His name was Gonzalo Guerrero.

The number of "hairy hats" to wear is decreasing
Borsalino made for US market and bought there two years ago
Color is "Amarena" and I don't remember the type. Size is 7 3/8 or 59 cm.
The proportions are those requested by the American market: high crown and adequate brim with also the wind cord
The felt is very beautiful, soft and finished with a short hair of a color that is called in Italian "black cherry"
The best rendition of the color is in the shade, but in the sun you see the Lustre of felt.
Thanks a lot for the likes on the Mossant "Gris Orage" (stormy grey) one of the best denomination of a color in the world of hats.
Compliments and congratulations for the hats I saw on your heads everyday, they are a reference to doing my part as hats European agent in a very good company with Stefan and the immense Steve

The edge treatment looks like it might be interesting.
