What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[TheOldFashioned]

Kids didn't want to make the 2.5 hr trip (one-way) to reach the path of totality, so I'll have to settle for 97%. Pretty bummed to be so close and miss out. Stetson Columbia seemed fitting for today's event:

The sacrifices we make for our kids.

The clouds briefly parted and I got to see a nice bite out of the sun here in Montana under my old Mallory.

Cool Bowlers, Bob. The eclipse glasses make you look like two masked crime fighters

Ha! Thanks Steve.

My wife’s birthday is today and I got her this eclipse (yeah … I’m that cheap).

One of my favourite in the last Borsalino production.
Molto bello Reggie

Borsalino Vaiato (more in the Borsalino thread)

Barbisio

Borsalino Nutria Gulaita

I was undecided and took the whole Monday to think about my personal ranking
In order of appearance the first three places, but they were all worthy of mention

Winner winner eclipse dinner!!! SHARP, Randall!

Thanks, Mark.
So is that an invite to a fine dinner?
If I leave now that’ll give you 3/4 days for food prep. I’m not picky when it comes to fine cuisine, so whatever your wife wants to cook is okay—as long as it’s expensive!

Sometimes, you simply luck into deals that shouldn’t happen. One early morning last week, during my first-cup-site-scan, a chocolate 6X Stetson Open Road appeared, in my size, for an unimaginable price. After a quick scan to ensure the seller was legit and actually had feedback, I pulled the trigger. The hat arrived this afternoon; it is immaculate, and the brim has been tweaked just the TINIEST bit, and in a manner I absolutely approve of. Sometimes, it truly is better to be lucky than good.

Thanks, Joe. I probably never would have even considered a chocolate OR if this one hadn't fallen into my lap, but it turns out I love it!
