I dont know what is more beautiful, that OR or the snowy landscape !!Sunday - hoo-hoo a day of rest. Rest = having choice in the case of today.
I choose to do some early morning chores in a Pendleton and Gannon (dark moss). My Gannon hats are fulfilling the role that I previously used an Akubra BGCD for - everyday fedora. In rain, sleet, snow and work chores I use my Gannon beaver felts. They are easy worn (do not show wear or weather easily) and yet can go "downtown." I am really enjoying the Gannon fedora. To top it off - who does not enjoy a green lid?
I am choosing shopping errands in my MN Tuxedo (wool jacket) and a vtg. 7X Stetson OR. 1st moments wearing this distinctive hat.
I watched the discussions about "cattleman crease" hats this morning with piqued interest. A while ago I had located a vtg. Stetson 7X OR. This is my first 7X OR and in this crease. I am wearing it this afternoon to try the "look on." The workmanship is superb. The felt is stiff. (Disclaimer: I have never owned cattle. Briefly owned 2 buffalo. They roam over our vacation property in Montana. Have co-owned horses (with my wife). I do not enjoy riding horses, or cattle/buffalo.)

Thx! Appreciate the compliment.Looks like Stetsons and Biltmores ruled the day....All look really nice...I want that Whippet.....And it looks like Reese Whitherspoon did deliever Fruno's hat...and stayed long enough to pose for a couple shots....
Today I wore my Blue Borsalino to teach and my Sable Lock & Co to a Jazz Club to check out one of my student's set....You can't tell from the shots, but the Borsa is a slightly larger hat than the Lock...Does it look that way here.?.....To me the Borsa here looks smaller....I think the thin ribbon on the Lock might make it look a tad fuller...

I saw that one, but it was too rich for my blood. Did someone here get it?

Was wondering that also... $285 was more then I wanted to spend.
Harv, where is Colt? Sounds like a place I'd like to live depending on the climate. After seeing Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" I always wanted to live in Big Whiskey, MT (if there was such a place).Some metal work this afternoon in the silverbelly CD.
