    Lookin' good.

    Kinda looks like mine, from the same maker, also bought off ebay, and probably made from the same bolt of fabric:




    I've one in scarlet as well that I wore on my Scotland golf trip when we played Muirfield in the rain---very functional in bad weather.



    She does good work, a perfect fit both times.

    I'm a hat guy so I love your pics, and Jeff's too!

    I'll have to check into this. But for now, I'm joensing over my Ryan Ross bonnet in the making.

    Tweed Bonnet

    When I first got the bonnet, I was unsure about it and did not wear it, but after sporting it at this last event, and had hundreds of remarks and compliments I would definatly recommend it to anyone. Its a one of a kind.
