    Hat addiction? Who of us among this great fraternity has that affliction? :cool:

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Back in 2006, I painted and decorated a summer house my wife at the time and I had bought with that album on constant play. Johnny Cash was on, too. Strange Pork Pie bash for the 25. Looking forward to seeing your new version, Nathan.

    For an evening gad about, a 1940s Carlton Homburg sold at the wonderful establishment of A. Meers, Strasbourg. I'm really looking forward to warm weather. While I wait, I can still wear my felts.

    I've always liked the look of that one, Nathan. Glad to hear you, the family, and house are safe and sound. Hope your 25 arrives safely soon, too. Whenever I hear about the twisters you guys have over there, I always think of this one from the Boss.

    Another interesting feature is that in both the print and the pin, the Johnny Walker man is holding a lorgnette. Usually, he's more often tipping his hat. In the print, it seems to be a one eyed glass lorgnette. While in the pin it's a double.

    Thanks Nathan. The pin is not easy to see, and definitely not easy to photo.

    You're too kind, Randall. I won't be there until I have a real Randall Renshaw Hat.

    Thank you so much, Nathan. The pin is the Johnny Walker "striding man". It's significance is, I like Top Hats and Whisky :) I also have this circa 1930s print of a Tom Browne 1905-10 sports advert for Johnny Walker. Tom Browne created various scenarios of the Johnny Walker man in...

    Please send the link to the auction house, Stefan. It will be fun to follow the bidding.

    I'm sure it is possible, Mark, and I don't doubt it. I know the barcode was invented and used as early as the 40s and 50s, but I've always thought a hat with such a label was much more modern than the 70s or 80s. Again, I'm not necessarily questioning the date of the hat, but more my...

    I'm looking at that barcoded label and thinking, surely this century. Did Stetson hats have such labels back in the 70s/80s? They possibly did, and I need to be more educated on the subject. I'm perhaps too used to European hat labels sans barcodes. It's a great looking hat, Rick. I'd be...

    A truly wonderful poster, Stefan. I'm still kicking myself for not pulling the deal on a Mossant poster I could have had if only I'd been willing to travel to pick it up. It still would have been cheaper than that one though. Will it really go for that price? I'm thinking, how many real...

    With the wind cord and that wonderful liner, Nathan, who needs a ribbon :)
