Was looking at the hat wall and putting things back where they belong... realized that my brother DID opt for for the Moose River over the Gun Club at the end lol... Better choice for him lol. Should be his " Sit around with the hood open at the car show" hat lolAnother bright sunny day with low humidity and somewhat cooler temps today. Perfect day to bring my own shade along with a 60's OR.
My Brother and Sister in Law came up this weekend to help finish sorting out things that we cleared out of Dads Tennessee house last year ( It all ended up piled up in one of my guest rooms) Couple long days of work and then we had the chance to relax on the patio and entertain the dog. Ive been trying to get the brother to start wearing brimmed hats again instead of baseball caps, but he was down to a couple of rather ratty/ floppy wool felt hats and one 2 acre American Maxifelt cowboy hat from his high school days on the 70's. With his birthday coming up in a couple weeks I walked him over to the hat wall and told him to pick out a couple that he liked. Took him an hour but he finally narrowed it down to three lol. ( I have to admit I was sweating when he was looking at Open Roads and Stratoloners lol) Told him if he promised to wear then to just take all three. Personally I think it was a great birthday present. A perfect use for spare hats. He got a good education on fur felt hats, and went home with an older Stetson Gun club, A new Stetson Weekender, and one of my black Akubra Bogarts. Hes happy and I have more wall space for new hats!
This is the third time in the last few months Ive given hats away. Its a nice feeling to help someone else start their own hat addiction!
