    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Brother, you don't need a hat to look good. You do. However, your good taste, only compliments your good looks. Your hat wearing sensibilities, are similar to my own. I just don't pull it off as well as you. Carry on.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I had originally ordered a Racine. It fell down to my ears and while I liked the hat, girlie-girl told me it didn't go with my complexion. So, when I sent it back, I asked for the Grand Central, she likes it much better. Not only that, in the same size—a much better fit. Unfortunately, I hadn't...

    Berets, Anyone?

    My first "real" beret was a leather sweatband model, a Hoquy/Laulheré. Fit perfectly right out of the box, but then got smaller, stiffer and scratchier. On advice given here, I got a hat stretcher (and some one-piece/sweatbandless models). After some leather conditioner, stretching and...

    Wow. Another great color. The binding just sings on that one.

    Moon, where you find those lids is beyond me, but you sure do wear them well. Nice color on that one. Everyone looking particularly swell. You all make my day. A very scruffy yours truly, just cleaning up the edges of the drive in the Stetsonian. Lovely day and a warm hat.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Went for a stroll yesterday morning. The SB CD was on my head first, but then I re-discovered this Orvis Muir Woods. I had bought this for a good friend for Christmas, about three or four years ago. It didn't fit him and decided that this wasn't his sort of hat. I had meant to send it back, but...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Hi Daan, having thought about it a bit, I believe I get looks because a man wearing a beret over here is danged near unheard of. I've seen two (other than my own) in the past two years. I may be coming off as a little "flamboyant." At least as far as other(s) tastes are concerned. The hair...

    Berets, Anyone?

    The shop only deals in dollars so I don't think the rate will make much if any, difference. But what do I know? Just something I noted. Fall and Winter are (currently) my favorite times of the year to wear a nice beret. Was accompanying a good friend on a horse shoeing job over the weekend and...

    Yeah, Ben does exceptional work. One of the, if not thee best (I'm biased) , tiki carvers I know of. He carved all of the original tiki's and tiki/tropical ornamentation at the Tropicana when they went tiki-themed back in the day. He's been at it for a good, long while. A good, un-chipped...

    Nice one Knotten. It looks good on you and the color suits you as well.

    Junkies. If I find out you're a user—we won't be seeing much of each other. Cannot be trusted. Anyone my cat won't stay in the same room with. If small cat doesn't care for your presence—I probably won't either.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I acquired a nice, black pea coat at an after Christmas sale a few weeks ago and was wanting a hat that would go well with it. Yes, I have some hats that can be worn with it like the Caribou Whippet, but I wanted something closer to black. I tried ebay, consignment and second-hand shops and have...

    Nice demo of the two felt characteristics. Seeing is believing.

    MB's are very nice—classic, IMO. Would love to have had lugged, but went instead with Columbus Spirit light weight chromo, brazed and a chromo fork. The bike did real well, but didn't like much more than 35 lbs. on it—which, it turns out, was about all I needed or wanted. Staying on topic...

    Ah, Rivendell. Grant Peterson, one of the original retro-grouches. I have a Bridgestone RB-2 from his time with them. Seroiusly considered a Riv when I was shopping for a bike to do the cross-country tour. Sweet bikes. Ended-up going with a Bilenky.
