If there's a merit badge for hat-wearing, you've more than earned it, Joe.
Any chance will do! Sun came up: good enough for me
Superb, Fabio.

The sun really brings out that gorgeous colour, Steve.
You and Etsuko are killing it today, Gary. Congrats on the almost 24 years.

Thin ribbon Sunday continues at my house.
Raking around some shrubs found me wearing a vintage Stetson Stratoliner with a 2 1/2" brim. This hat shows some patina on the felt and has a bit more "sahara" hue to it. Hard, sweaty work and I dried the sweat, treated it and brushed the hat. It is sitting on a block drying out.
Holy moly it was breakfast time. I grilled buffalo for tacos and caramelized some pears and topped with ricotta cheese. I switched to a vintage Stetson Stratoliner for my grill work. I am staying with silverbelly felt hues for breakfast.
My wife remarked that the hats are the same. I nodded and said they are only a bit different. This was an avoidance of the question of how come I need 2 hats that are "nearly" the same. Once the breakfast tacos and carmelized pears were on the table all discussions of hats evaporated. The meal was terrific.
Cheers on a thin ribbon Sunday, Eric -

Excellent hats! You wear the homburgs and bowlers with panache.
I googled up the weather in your neighborhood and see we are sharing similar temps at the moment. Later today in my neighborhood, we will have experience a "heat wave of 55'f (13'c).

Absolutely guilty as charged. I can come up lots of justifications, but suffice it say I enjoy hats.

Thank you both. We’re glad to be able to get away for a night. We had to be quite selective about the area we decided to visit as COVID numbers are increasing at an alarming rate in this part of the country. Probably our last excursion for a while.
Thank you, Eric. We could do with a bit of a heatwave like that over here as well!

Drove by Garland, Tx. yesterday. These two hats forced their way into my car. My son's girlfriend wanted to go and pick up a hat for her dad. She might be a keeper, or an enabler, either way it's good. He picked up a couple of cowboy hats.
Dobbs Rosebud Hemp Straw in Cognac. Had to add some foam strips as its a tad large. Have to figure out the hat pin. I can't tell if its one that said DOBBS and the lettering came off, and/or if it is holding the ribbon on the hat or not. Brim is odd but I like it. 2" in front, 2 3/8" on sides, and 2 1/8 or maybe 2 1/4" in back. Will get better pics in a few days.
Stratoliner in Natural. I usually wear a 7 1/4 but this was marked as 7 1/8 which may be why it was there. It is a large 57 or a barely tight 58 and fits snug but not too tight. If it shrinks any I am sure I can nudge it just a little on a stretcher. Hopefully it will stay as is. I really like the color of both hats.

I love Fleur's bow work. That's very nicely done. You definitely got the zing you wanted, Stefan.
Well spotted, Steve. The bow is something Fleur did. I thought the original thin ribbon was a bit "more of the same", so I asked her to give it some "zing". The idea was stolen from this Mossant hat:
