Thanks for the comments on the Campdraft. As Alan said, keeping up with this great thread is a challenge!

Today I went with the Failsworth 'Rodney':

+1! And always nice to see the Tilden, Perry. Nice 10x, gtdean, and Sam, you're owning that cane rod maker today!
Manfred, the homburg was stellar the other day.

Stetson twenty-five for me:

The ebay Optimo panama arrived today and, despite my concerns with the first time seller's terrible photos and very low shipping price, things have turned out well. With a 4" brim (flattened) and a crown that's 4.5" at the pinch, this is tied for the most serious (or comical) hat I own. Price wise, this is probably the low end of Optimo's panamas, but it's just the sort of thing I needed: a big, fairly inexpensive Summer hat.
I was also concerned about the size. While advertised as a 7 5/8, there's no size tag in the hat. I haven't measured it, but I'm confident that it's at least a 7 5/8, if not a 7 3/4.

Good news that the Optimo arrived safely, Lefty. Love the photo of you and your future self :D
If you and your wife share the same hat size, she'd also look great with the brim turned down, the way you have it.

As it happens, my eBay "Newt at the Royal" Optimo got here today and I'm very pleased. I picked it up from the Post Office at lunchtime and been wearing it ever since. If only the Montecristi I bought from Optimo last year had been as nice as this one, I wouldn't have needed to ask Art to make it into a Dualist!

Well the end of the day was a smash hit, guys!

I'm totally envious of that Stetson with the beauty of a brim, MichaelShane.

Lefty, that hood looks great, and I wish I had the patience to grow that kind of a beard, just to see if I could. Looks great, man.

David! Holy cow that is pretty. What was wrong with the previous Optimo (sweet decision, though, to fashion it into that awesome dualist)?
