Wow, I'm loving that one. Looks great.
I'm in Iowa these days. I think it is probably around peak season here. I have three growing in my yard and we've never found them there before.
Thanks,
Michael

I started Yesterday morning with my buckaroo whiskey derby, but then my repaired new Texas Hatters derby arrived and it had to take over for awhile.
Trying to get my callouses back today.

Is that a black or black cherry? Hard to tell on my monitor.

I agree. After being out and about most of the day and wearing both ways I'm leaning towards brims up too. I can't explain it but it just seems right.
Thanks, Michael! The hat definitely is a looker.
Sorry, I thought you were in MN for some reason. I found two greys in my yard yesterday when I was cutting the grass. Nearly mowed them over. The wife would not have been happy. I don't eat them, but I love getting out into the woods and hunting them. Wish I had your moxie to wear something vintage into the woods. Instead I wear a, gasp, camo baseball cap.
Thanks, Doc! Definitely got lucky on this one. I may have giggled when I first opened the box and saw the color. Now I only need about 99 more to maybe join you in the big leagues.
Thanks! It definitely is in a class of its own given the finish and coloration. Of course, considering my collection is so small that's not really saying much.

It’s black Cherry, Randy. I wish the old version was still available; the current (my) version is darker than I’d prefer.

The green color is fantastic.
Still a very nice find, Michael. That one deserves a new sweatband.Spent part of the day yesterday riding the bike and walking the woods in this Harris Tweed cap

Sadly, missing the sweat. Don't know who made it. Crown liner says Royal Beaver Custom Made "20". Lovely lightweight felt. Raw edge with one line of stitching 2 1/2".

Came with a nice Mallory box with leather strap. Also got an oval Stratoliner box. I was really hoping there was a Stratoliner inside, but alas.
Have a great Saturday evening,
Michael
Very nice shape to that hat, Jonathan. I like the look of the felt too. Nice catch.

Ha! Thanks Stefan. Even my most formal hats seem mostly to get paired with casual attire around here. There tend to be maybe four or five of them that ever seem to rotate in when I am wearing a suit or a tuxedo; my VS, Tumwater, Knox homburg, and Dennis Brooks seem to be the most frequent formal visitors... at least in my hazy recollection.

I like both of those, Jeff. You have a real natural look in a Derby!I started Yesterday morning with my buckaroo whiskey derby, but then my repaired new Texas Hatters derby arrived and it had to take over for awhile.

As far as the callouses go, ever hear the old adage "use it before you lose it"?

That’s fantastic. The felt looks like it’s really light weight, and that you could re-crease it in as many different shapes as you like without it ever showing a sign of the last one. Really great jacket too!

Michael, have you been doing a bit of illicit moonlight modelling in Scotland? You really should get a work permit you know. My how you look the part.

I just saw your post in the other thread. He'll be missed.
...We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily and oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
