Thanks Michael. I’ve been looking for an OR or Strat in a Light Blue ever since I saw Erics Wonderful Cadet Blur Strat. Pretty hard to come by.

Very cool stitching on that one. Maybe Buccaneer plusDog soiree this glorious 44'f (7'C) morning. I wore this spiral stitched Stetson.
I found a Feb. 1938 magazine advertisement for the Stetson Buccaneer. It advertises itself as a "broad stitched brim of Buccaneer. It's light sun-warmed colors, it's suberly mellow felt, it's dashing new lines are setting the pace for mid-winter smartness at fashionable resorts." Priced at $7.50.
The picture shows a hat very close to this hat. The Buccaneer has it's spiral stitching only half of the brim. My Stetson has spiral stitching going all the way to the crown. Mine is a different hat. In the spirit of a Buccaneer, or until I can identify the correct name, I will go with Buccaneer.
I roasted on the grill outside a couple of tomatoes for a couscous, tomato and ginger breakfast. My Mallory Ten was my outside hat for the task.
Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

Well, once more into the breach. I had to make a quick run to pick up a couple things in preparation for some serious lockdown action over the next week or two. Plus, I needed to drop off a package.
What better way to ward off a pandemic than with a Demon?
And because sunshine.
I miss getting up every day and picking a hat out.

Can’t get enough of that one Jim, although that fly nearly gave me a heart attack. Thought it was a hole! Be careful out there.

The hat of choice for today is a Gannon thin ribbon fedora in moss green. Stay safe.

Thanks sir.
A demon into the breach-excellent choice! I do like that hat choice. I am a total hat advocate as I find the patina'd ribbon to be worthy and totally awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Even in this sequestered time when I am not actively directing/managing or coaching it still finds it way out of my mouth/fingers: As you folks are aware the psychology of routine finds devotees happier than those who have big variances. A productive routine keeps us highly successful and learning humans. In the world of sequestration, I am working to keep my previously successful routine as similar as I possibly can. It has been a challenge to stay focused and not to avoid the, IMO, dreaded stay up late watching movies, get up late, avoid exercise/continuing education and snack my way thru the day. (I offer apologies for the above, but it just comes out. Without athletes, clients or employees to be daily recipients, you are the audience. Good and bad.)
I just got back from a long walk and would like to share that I wore one of my vintage Stetson Stratoliners in silverbelly. I chose the felt hue as it adds some light color to a gray and cloudy day.
There are not a lot of obvious signs of Spring 2020 - yet!

That is a sharp thin ribbon fedora sir. Like the venerable 1940's Stetson Stratoliner advertisements said - " Right For Traveling in Style. " The advertsement I am thinking featured a fedora in "pine Green." Bleow is a screen capture of a mag.advert. that MHatman posted a long while ago.
Green theme stands proud.
Thanks for sharing. Eric -

Nice Strat, Eric. And thanks for the comments on the Demon.
I, too, find productivity in routine. My commute is shorter (up the stairs), but other than my surroundings and paucity of contact with my coworkers, not much has changed.
Going strong, Joe. I think this is the best one so far.
Beautiful and stylish, Robert.
The Mayser is kind of a spring hat. Looking good, Steve. You're going to like the theme I've chosen for the hats this week.
A bit of a shame that: it deserves to be seen!
Very cool, Eric. We don't them worn much around here.A dog trek this morning in a 30's spiral fedora. I love the brown flecked material in this classic profiled fedora.
A Penny's Marathon in a sage green felt hue was my hat choice for a morning walk-about.
Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -
Whatever it is: it does look great. If the hat tells you what it wants it's best to listen!

I really love that hat!!!Wearing my Stagecoach Longhair conversion again today.
Some Rockabilly!
With a collection like yours there's no such thing as posting too many hat pics, Eric.Thanks sir and others for the likes.
Being sequestered at home finds me with lots of energy to burn each day. I find myself out taking walks or runs several times daily. Being outside and having these unusual opportunities find me working through wearing the many hats on the hat rack. A mental entertainment for me, but I have worried about posting too darn many different hat pics. Thinking that you folks might desire a respite from my excessive energies, I have started posting pic collages of my different hat adventures.
I am back from a hike to watch the local eagle nest. A Gannon in bone was my hat choice.
Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -
Fantastic, Roger. Seems like everybody staying indoors has done great things for the weather for some reason.
Beautiful hat with that shallow flange. The ribbon colour is outstanding. I wonder what kind of hat squirrel fur would make?
A sunny hat for sure, Michael. Nice one for spring.Embroidered Last Drop 3X on a sunny day

Have a good day,
Michael
The rest of it looks pretty good too, Randall. I wouldn't worry about posting too much (I'm way beyond that point myself).Thanks, Eric. And thanks, also go to the others who liked my new Dobbs.
I love that one and like Joe once jokingly said: “ I could quit buying hats now”, but now I know better than to utter such wasted words.
I, too, worry about posting many times per day on this and other threads and try to limit myself.
But I know I’ll never tire of seeing your superb line of perfect hats! That’s what this thread’s for, right?
So, here’s my fifth hat for a 30 day, 30 hat show I’m doing with Joe. guess I was one hat behind. A Penny’s Marathon with a nicely done bow. View attachment 225291
Another good one, Joe. The ribbon makes this one stand out.
He may have caught the fish, but you beat him hands down in the hats contest.

3X Open Road today watching my 7 year old play in a mud puddle. Running low on cigars!!!Very nice, Randall. I like that ribbon width.
Fabulous conversion, Terry. Works without a brim binding as well.Wearing my late '50s - early '60s 3X Stetson thin ribbon conversion this a.m. I may have found a donor hat that I had laying around for its brim binding that I'm hoping will be long enough to bind this brim with...
Before: It was originally a size 7 Western
After: Reblocked to a thin ribbon 7 1/4 fedora...
Some old player piano music!
Another fantastic parade of hats, Eric. A joy to see.Dog soiree this glorious 44'f (7'C) morning. I wore this spiral stitched Stetson.

So that's what brings out these blue skies all of a sudden. Glorious colour, Tim.
