Thanks for all the compliments yesterday. Blue skies and record warmth today. Wearing my early '50s Resistol Skyfleet.

Just got a break at work and saw this. Love it! I've always said I'd like to travel with a group of trumpeters who would play a fanfare before I entered any room. Maybe then I could get some respect around here.
Thanks for the compliments on my Pilgrim. I found this old newspaper ad from 1947 that might be my hat. It has the too-perfect bash that would indicate it was pre-blocked, as the ad says. I steamed the pinches closer to match my personal preference. Not a bad hat for $2.89.
Just got my new hat from Mike. A Whippet style in silver mist with 6-inch open crown and 2 5/8-inch brim. Threw a quick diamond bash into it. Needless to say, I am very pleased with how this turned out. Worth the wait!

I've got this beauty coming in the mail, hopefully tomorrow, from Mike at NW Hats. It's a Whippet clone, light grey with a dark grey ribbon and brim binding. I'm thinking it's a little lighter color than in this photo. Six-inch open crown, 2 5/8-inch brim. Can't wait!
