Thanks Serge. I kind of liked the way the hat worked with that late 60s suit too.
Thanks Mike. Dobbs calls that color Sandstone.
The appearance on the racks at my favorite thrift of a 3 piece suit that fit me rather well occasioned a second hat yesterday afternoon.

Everybody have a great day, OK?
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Breathtaking hat! Wow!Thanks again for all the good wishes yesterday. I think you are never to old to be a baby about your birthday. ;^)
Today's sunshine calls for suede. Borsalino Marque Grand Luxe XXXX (ecosca) in bronzo. I bought two of these from the same estate some years back, in Marshall Field boxes but purchased in Florence.
Wearing some green today, and pulled out "The Penman" from Penman Hats. It's the only hat I have with a 6-point diamond bash, but I sure like it!
Thanks Mike. The jacket is an old Amana Woolen Mills thing out of the 60s or 70s I think. I'm finally ready to get on the bike after dinging around the house all morning.
Thanks. I always, maybe wrongly, associate velour and rope bands with stingy brimmed alpine hats. So it seems a bit of unusual combo on a hat with a 3" brim. Lately it seems to have taken a liking to a little curl in the brim rather than a snap down. I haven't been inclined to argue with it.
I'm a sucker for heathered felt. And this one is a beauty of an example. Great brim binding too. And bash and shape and size and, should I go on?I'm using this 60 degree day as an opportunity to wear this sweet Hardeman Mainliner ...I estimate it around late 40s to early 50s vintage based on the dimensions and innards... and the fact that the plant closed in 1953

Love the color on that hat Doug. And it's playing very nicely with the jacket and red shirt. Great look for you.Wearing some green today, and pulled out "The Penman" from Penman Hats. It's the only hat I have with a 6-point diamond bash, but I sure like it!
That heathered felt is just jawdroppingly beautiful. Fantastic hat.I'm using this 60 degree day as an opportunity to wear this sweet Hardeman Mainliner ...I estimate it around late 40s to early 50s vintage based on the dimensions and innards... and the fact that the plant closed in 1953

Bob, you seem to make wearing a hat brim up look easy and look good. If I try that it makes me look goofy.Camp Draft.

Thanks so much Steur. It's not hard and just a matter of getting used to how it looks on you.
