Hey everyone!
Thanks for the likes and comments. Always appreciated.
Today, a freshly tweaked bunral project that I call "The Survivor" due to what I had to do to get all the glue and crud off of it from when it was a ladies' hat. And all the further abuse I put it through making it into this. It has a different weave pattern on the crown than my WWII era hat, and after seeing the crown of Alan's Balibuntal the other day, I have a sneaky suspicion that it could be of that variety of the straw.

Tanks everyone!
AnA, it is a fine weave closer to a Panama rather than a braid.
Esther, if a lady were wearing it, I wouldn't have been able to buy it! So hard to find buntal hats made for men, converting them s easier...but I understand your concern. I wish more ladies wore nice hats too!:)
Bama, I consider these straws to be works of art before they are even blocked. I couldn't imagine the skill needed to weave one

Well, those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are upon us. Why is this man such a happy man? Because he's wearing his new Gannon Silvermist! It finally got over 5 minutes of head time today, as I wore it for the drive from Dayton to our Columbus office. Steamed a bash into it before I left this AM. Very easy to work with this beaver felt, and it fits perfectly.
