    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Saturday’s indulgences. A visit to Arima and to the local brewery. A Black Ale for me and a White Ale for Etsuko. Same Borsalino again. Later a Minoh Beer Pale Ale for me and Pilsner for Etsuko. Back at the hotel in the afternoon with some bubbly & strawberries - Etsuko’s favourite. Then...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    I took Friday off and we spent the resultant long weekend (over?) indulging in Kobe… Open Air Brewery. I’d never heard of a Golden Stout before, but it (on the left) was really good. Quite strong coffee flavours. Etsuko had a Stratosphere Session IPA. I was surprised their Session IPA was...

    The Gorasgu for me. Truly a stunner. Second place to the Panizza Oro.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Taking tomorrow (Friday) off to start our anniversary celebrations (27 years). To start the celebrations, we opened a bottle of Scarabus 10. Today’s hat is a Knox Flying Cloud. This is right up there. A beautiful smokey, but not at all harsh whisky. We bought a bottle of Arran Sherry Cask to...

    Love the hat, but the eyes head to that jacket. Excellent all round.

    Good news. I awoke this morning to find the eclipse had passed and I can see all those lovely hats!

    Not sure what’s happening here. I’m not seeing any pictures, just blank spaces. It’s the same on my iPhone and iPad.

    Akubra Overload

    Nice! I have a 1960s Akubra Stylemaster with a Pocketweight designation. The felt on that is also significantly different to my modern Stylemaster. It’s much thinner (especially on the pinch, where the previous owner must have held it). It’s also unlined with a sticker on the crown tip and...

    Enjoying a Malbec while grilling on the shichirin.

    The latest incarnation of my Hornskov Rancher still has the centre dent with front pinch rather than the original cattleman crown, but it’s also back to a flat brim. Etsuko didn’t like the side curls, and now it’s back to flat, I’m inclined to agree with her. I think this is how the hat will...

    Gorasgu for me, followed by the Barbisio and the Panizza, but as always, not a dud amongst them.

    What are you listening to?

    I had to watch this to find out if the Thug was in the band or listening to Milton DeLugg and the band with you. I’m none the wiser.

    Entrance Ceremony for the new first graders today, so the Brümmel’s Homburg made an appearance. We always hope for the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom for the entrance ceremony. Today they were spectacular!

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    The latest video (of Peter making a zorro hat with and for his daughter) shows them pouncing the hat.

    Akubra Overload

    Looks great. Are you on the wrong page (we’ve all done it), or is that an Akubra bowler? I don’t recall having seen one before.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I bet if pushed, you could find another three or four special circumstances under which you would consider purchasing. I showed this to Etsuko. She’s familiar with HAS, but says you are really sick. You’ve come to the wrong place for treatment, though. None of us want to see you get well soon!

    I’m with Steve here…or at least I thought I was. I just went back for another look. The Landasti or the Odessa for second place behind the Gorasgu. I can’t decide.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Spent the day in the garden, so the Snowy River got the call up again. Later, I fired up the shichirin, so switched to the barbecue hat - the Bluegrass Green Cattleman. Atsuage (Deep fried tofu) is remarkably good on the barbecue. Crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside...

    Well that is the symphony that you would, in the words of David Byrne, “swivel and bop” to.
