My chiropractor opened his office up again on a limited, restricted basis, so i made an appointment. Is rather pasty him some money for palliative relief than take pain pills and muscle relaxants.

Like Mike said, it was hot yesterday. I took along my Well Dressed Head indigo hemp 5 points cap. When a breeze picks up you can feel the air blowing right through the hand woven material.

Didn't expect to have this suit out again this season, but if I go out I'll actually have to throw a coat over it.

Super Lux - very period sounding name. Love that ribbon, kind of "puggish". The material on that suit is the bomb Michael.

I have a doctor's appointment next week, they are still closed so it will be video conferencing. I don't know how it will work to "turn my head and cough" on Zoom! Love that cap, that material really does look light and airy.

My daughter took a swing by to pick up her early birthday present... a Michael Gannon dark moss fedora with vintage ashen green ribbon and the "Rodolfo" style bowkeep with 2 color highlights. Bound brim with piccadilly ribbon, also quite old vintage stuff.

This arrived open crown, so I had the filtered water at boiling point when she arrived and she said she wanted a diamond crease like I bashed for my natural Gannon with the red slate ribbon. Done.

Easy to see why it's a favourite, Steve. That is one magnificent hat. And a killer liner as well.
Stefan, Thank you! Today will be my last entry for C. G. Wilke Guban.

The Princeton Hat Co. is a great looking hat! The color contrast between the Ribbon and Felt is fantastic. Probably another distributor's trademark.

Day 10 of 31 Hat Parade: Another 85 degree day calls for a light weight straw hat for our walk this morning. This John Cavanagh Optimo crease "stingy" in a wonderful fine weave. Most likely from the early to mid 1960s, as was the style. The style of crease in the crown of the hat is one of the many straw configurations available. This 50+ year old hat has a real "patina" to it's color. I could clean it to bright white again, but she shows her age quite well. Very light, and tight weave as seen in the picture with the penny. Cavanagh was Frank Sinatra's signature brand, think Rat Pack in the summer!

Very nice hat. They knew how to make them in Norwalk back then.


Excellent, Randy. That ribbon colour just works so well.


Neat little hat, Joe. I think I'd prefer it brim up though.
Hmmm. May have to take that up with the brim directly. This one has snap... but unfortunately it’s all down. In front anyway. The grey one I have just like it will snap up and down.
