Got the Stetson Hemp Open Road shaped up enough for the coffee shop this morning. Got some stiffener in it and the brim holds it shape and snaps well. Couple little creases still needing more attention, and the ribbon could use a bit of flattening, but its alive again. Ribbon is probably going to require removal so I can get a good ironing ( hemp surface isnt smooth underneath. Almost thinking a slightly wider 1/2" ribbon would look good on it.... but I dont have any dark green ribbon so thats another project for another day. Going to be a good companion the the Sage Hemp Stratoliner.

Mr Bear is doing well in his new job. A week ago he was sitting way off in the background.... Hes inching up closer on his own now

Brim looks good snapped up too... almost think I like up better on this one

Had my weekend plans change... some family driving up from Houston to meet Mr Bear... so I had to cancel the plan to take him and hangout with my friends at their antique sign shop saturday ( the were best friends with Moose and always have donut holes for peoples animals) SO we changed plans and loaded up Mr Bear and went to a meet and greet today. He met a bunch of new folks , got a bunch of head scratches and was perfectly behaved, and got to see a couple new places.

Anyway I had some comments on the Green Hemp Open Road at coffee, so I threw it back up top again. After the antique run, I went over to a really good bbq place and picked up a family meal for tomorrow. The lady carving my brisket commented on the hat.. When I asked if she had any trimmings I could give my Labrador puppy, she asked what he was and said sure. When she heard he was a White Lab her eyes got big and said "those are not real common... is he with you, can I meet him?" Why not...... Doggo rally reacted to the smell of the meats and got some more head scratching.. then we went home and had some brisket.

Just as a side to side comparison, here's the new rehabbed Sage Green Hemp OR with Green ribbon, and my old Sage Green Hemp Stratoliner with brown ribbon... ( the Stratoliner has a fair bit of wear and has faded nicely) I really like the Stetson Hemps... nice rugged, cool hats
