Stunning, Greg!

Thank, gents, I really appreciate it. Glad it was finally cold enough down here to break the jacket out. Here’s a couple more pics showing yesterday’s outfit and a back shot of the jacket.Gorgeous hat, and that jacket is superb as well, nicely matched!
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Here is a recently aquired Stetson Saddle Roll straw that was made in Japan. The Saddle Roll logo was registered in 1953. The 7 1/8 keyhole size tag I believe dates this to late 50’s early 60’s. Love the venting and color of the straw.

I see a sheepskin hat band in this hat’s future.Here is a recently aquired Stetson Saddle Roll straw that was made in Japan. The Saddle Roll logo was registered in 1953. The 7 1/8 keyhole size tag I believe dates this to late 50’s early 60’s. Love the venting and color of the straw.

Thanks @One Drop!Lovely straw, love that style and colour.
Yes the straw is very lightweight and breathable and would make a great summer fishing hat. Sadly, it’s not my size though and I’ll need to find a new owner. Love the hat and band you have there — is that a Bushman?I see a sheepskin hat band in this hat’s future.

Ads for the Miller hat. All are from Miller Stockman catalogs except the $7 ad, from Stockman Farmer catalog. From left to right, they date 1938, 1939-40, 1943-44, 1949, and 1950. It cost $5 in 1938 and basically $10 by 1950. The Stockman Farmer catalog that calls it a Tommy Grimes might be an error, because that name is usually given to another model hat shown right below this one on the other catalogs.Miller Fine Hats, Denver CO, 4X Quality, Protecto. Has a 4 inch bound brim and 6 1/2 inch open crown. The hatband is called a 2-tone laced band. I believe this model hat was made between about 1938 to about 1950, sometimes called a Ranger model or a Montanan model or a Tommy Grimes model, perhaps by mistake. I'm attaching seller photos til it arrives. I'm also attaching ads for this hat from 1938 to 1950.
