Is it possible to get a black cherry thats not almost completely black?

I have an older VS that is more cherry than black.

Nice Sunbody. I tried one last Summer and while it seemed indestructible, I am thinking something a little lighter may be in order.
I wore my Dobbs Milan every day for 2 weeks while on Kauai recently, it held up ok. I wonder how my Stratoliner straw would hold up in the rain.

My limited experience with Dobbs Milan (plastic “Florentine” and not natural fibers) is that it doesn’t breath at all and it’s hot wearing.

My hemp Stratoliners don’t get that much use, but they seem to be standing up well and I’m also curious about how they’ll do in real rain.

Well, I may have to go back to Kauai to find out how the Stratoliner Milan Straw does on The Garden Island in the rain.

You’re willing to make that sacrifice for us? Maybe you can get a government grant to pay for your expenses; more useful than a lot of what the government spends our money on.

You have just about everything that can be had. Your collection has grown fast in quantity and quality.

I looked for it in the VS thread but didn’t find it. Let’s see some pictures!

Ah... I might have misremembered. Is that Black Cherry or Oxblood?

It looks like black cherry to me. That is a thing of beauty!

Would any of you share a few pictures of an OR with a cattlemens crease and wide ribbon?

I'd wear a Sunbody.

Heavier, warmer, and more "rough around the edges" than a traditional Panama/straw hat, but it provides better sun protection and you wouldn't have to worry about it getting wet if you got caught in a sudden tropical rainstorm. I linked to the model/style I got, but they have a decent variety of styles to choose from. It's advertised as having a 2-1/2" wide brim, but mine is 2-3/4". And if the black band isn't to your liking you can easily change it:

Something about a Sunbody and Hawaii Shirt just says beach.

Can't remember anything like that ever popping up around here. There are western/cowboy hats around with wide ribbon and the alpine/cattleman crease. If it had a wide ribbon, by the hat laws enforced here, it would be declared hatsona non grata.

I sure like that talk.

If it were me in that tropical environment I would probably take a Pith helmet. Because they sit up off your head & the air can circulate they are cool & they certainly stay dry.

Only if it was the original 1930s OR with the wide ribbon. We've seen ads for those, and maybe one in the wild. RLK maybe?

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Yeah, I remember that ad and I think you're right about RLK.

Your VS Black Cherry sure looks a lot more Cherry than my VS Black Cherry. I still like mine just fine though.
