Steve! I like the new look. From top hats to open roads you are now truly the intercontinental man.

Next thing you'll be sporting a string tie, pard Steve.

Is that a curled brim, Perry, or just the natural flange? The picture is a bit deceiving but it looks like a super hat.

No I’m not a graphic artist. I am an engineering technician for Texas Instruments. When I was younger I toyed with the idea of commercial art but don’t think I was or am anywhere near good enough. These are a few from my younger days. My wife has them hanging in the hall.

Stetson Open Road 3X this morning. Not all Open Roads are equal! Stetson introduced the "Open Road" in 1946. The thin ribbon high block styled hats had been around for some time.

This 3X has that desirable felt - clay like ability to take a crease over and over again. I can pop it on and change the crease easily on my head. Very organic trait. This hat is a strong argument for vintage felted fedoras.

To quote another relative, my late Uncle Sam, MIT 1933, aerodynamic engineering; "Good enough is best."
He never worked for the likes of Rolls Royce, Etc. And, although he or his brothers could afford ANY car they wanted (from their used car/truck parts business) he drove Ford LTDs, his brother (Maxie) always drove a Checker (Maxie's Taxi, of course) but also owned a Rolls', a Cord, A Duesy, etc.

Back to hats...
Eric (@Short Balding Guy) mentioned GILLS!!
Stephan L. Stetson did them well, too!

Seeing the nice blue hats yesterday made me break out the Portis Swansback this morning.

First outing with my newly refurb'ed Champ trilby short hair. Sorry about the pics, I think my photo skills are getting worse over time instead of better.

Thanks Randy. Brim came flat but I curled it. The hat told me what it wanted.

Good idea! I had not thought of that. I already posted the graphic. Anyone who wants it is welcome to take it and do whatever. Keep it exactly like it is or change it. To make it easier here they are again.

Thanks very much.

I respectfully believe that Art Fawcett (VS Hats) has an edge, produced by years of experience on Gannon. Michael Gannon has the time to become the best gill hat artist. IMO, he is on the way. With Art retiring shortly the gill story will continue to be written.

Art Fawcett VS gill examples here:

Ahhhhh, gills!

After some work reading I headed out in a cap.

Home this evening walking the yard with my dog in a Gannon "Executive." This was inspired by an Adam Executive Quality Pacesetter. The natural felt hides the sleaty snow mix that is falling tonight.
