Good morning. Early morning dog soirree wearing a Stetson Buccaneer. Pale blue hat goodness!

Hat on a block drying I switched to a Mallory Ten. Cooling off, sipping coffee and eating a breakfast burrito. I have been enjoying watching the local loons.

Enjoy your Sunday morning.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ol' oak tree colored leghorn... from the Stetson factory store c.1938-41.

Thanks Stefan!
Finding clouds around one's head is a hazard of living in Northern California no matter what hat you wear!
Oh wait... I guess it's the same in your neck of the woods too...

Borsalino Qualita Supreme - Feather Weight
Super light and thin brown felt
5 inch open crown - 4 1/2 as shaped
2 1/2 raw edge brim front - 2 1/4 sides
7/8 matching grosgrain ribbon
2 inch brown sweat
Oil skin liner tip

Here is the ultra thin, ultra light Borsalino Qualita Supreme Feather Weight straight out of its “coffin box”. I’ve been after one of these in a more traditional color and style ever since I acquired two oddball Coffin hats earlier in the year. My wife, who had intercepted this one when it arrived and held for my birthday.... Did not know how to roll and place it back in its box. So this one came out of its box pretty much scrunched into a ball. I thought for sure it would need a ton of steam to get it into a reasonable shape. However after a quick hand shaping and sitting out for a bit.. it really took form. A bit of steam would likely smooth out some of the less than perfect areas. However I am quite impressed how well it shaped without. Sure it is a fact that you have to give up some structure stability with a felt this thin and light... but all and all I really couldn’t be happier with this hat.

Im not sure the age of this hat.. but the oil skin liner and tiny piece of manufacturing tag could be a hint.

An extra cool bonus with this hat in addition to the coffin box is this instruction pamphlet that was included in the box that explains how the owner should unroll and steam their new hat into shape after they arrived home with it.

I’m looking forward to comparing this feather weight to the extra light weight black Borsalino I found a few weeks back.

Thanks, Joe. It's a keeper alright!


Looks good, Randall, and in great condition it seems.


Thanks, Randall.


Lovely hats, both, but I'll give it to the Mallory though.


Gorgeous hat, Jim. Congrats.

Went for a long after dinner walk/hike. Took the slightly aerodynamic Stagecoach since it was a little windy. My mad selfie skills in action right here.

Beautiful evening. The wind died down as the sun sank in the sky. I was raised on the Mississippi backwaters. The scenery never gets old.
