Good morning. Walkabout this morning in a Stetson Flagship. The hat has all the features.

A change of hats and I headed outside to pick-up some fallen limbs from yesterday's winds. A Gannon Wanderer (silvermist beaver felt with charcoal trimmings) was just the hat for the effort.

Finally I made time for some coffee.

Cheers, Eric -
The glorious blue Flagship!

Simeon’s new Swann Gay Prince clone inspired me to dig out my own Dobbs Gay Prince. You may or may not notice my thicker replacement binding thread. And the GP feather in all its glory… or what’s left of it anyhow. Along with some “magic hour” sunlight Pouring in.

Looks great!! I do like the traditional whip-stitch on the felt ribbon of the Dobbs better than the stitching on my Swann Hat.

Thanks! I think both ways are cool…. I believe either Stetson or Resistol (maybe both) can’t remember do it with the saddle stitch style. I have a Lee GP clone that has the best (or worst depending how you look at it) of both worlds with a slash-dash pattern.

Very nice! I don’t know why but the Gay Prince always makes me think or Errol Flynn. Maybe it’s a kind of Robin Hood men of the forest vibe?
