Opened the Scarabus cask strength today. A bit much kick for Etsuko - she ended up adding some ice cubes, but I enjoyed it straight.
I wasn’t wearing a hat, but earlier, I was reading outside in my Akubra Blue Mountains while sitting outside reading my book. Here it is with the Scarabus, and...
Different people have their own varied opinions on feathers, but I think we should all be able to agree that that is truly repulsive! And they’ve done their best to further accentuate that repulsiveness with their method of attachment.
Glad to see it looks great after a bit of work.
I had tickets to see him in London with my brother (who was living there) in the ‘90s, but there was a mix-up with the dates and the concert happened after I’d already flown back to New Zealand. It ended up going to a friend of my brother’s.
Still bugs me to this day.
We had visitors from Australia staying with us on Sunday night. I took Monday off also to spend time with these great friends.
On Sunday, I went for my Silverbelly Campdraft
Apologies to Stefan for failing to get yakitori pictures.
On Monday, we went to a restaurant at a fish market. I got...
Cracked open a bottle of Shiraz that I bought in Australia. Very nice.
Etsuko made an excellent pasta to go with it.
Today‘s hat was a Fed IV, but no pics.
My niece gave us a bottle of Fuji-Sanroku as a thanks for putting her up and showi her around a bit recently. Today we cracked it open. It’s a pleasant enough drop. Probably not one we’d purchase for ourselves,, but we will certainly enjoy sipping it, and all the more since it came from a...
I steamed a front pinch into my 1960s Akubra Stylemaster last night, and wore it today. I believe it originally had a front pinch (as do the modern Stylemasters), but the previous owner clearly held this hat by the crown pinch. The felt is so thin there, I wasn’t sure if it would hold the...
I just picked it up recently to go with my leather jackets. I was wearing my light leather jacket to start the day before it got too hot. It’s a Supima Cotton T-shirt from Uniqlo.
Trying to fit in another favourite before it gets too hot. I was pushing it today, and I don’t think there’ll be many more felts. Anyhow, today’s was the Hornskov Mogul.
.Etsuko has gone to straw allready, with a Toucan Collection hat
I too struggle with the cattleman’s crease. I do still. Have a Resistol with one, which often garners compliments, but I’ve changed the other one I had. I much prefer the new crease you’ve given it. Well done!
When watching barbecue videos on YouTube, I often wish it could transmit the aromas. Right now, I’m glad that technology is not available on my iPad, because this way, it just seems that you”ve got yourself a stunner of a hat. I’m sure it’ll get there eventually.
