Rained all weekend and I was out and about in most of it. Saturday was fairly heavy rain and since I was going to be in it for a while (several hours) the Aotearoa/Aurolonesa Alpin got the call. Sheds rain effortlessly as does the Aotearoa 310 which was my choice in the lighter rain Sunday and...
I'll echo Moon here and double down on the bash.
My Stetsonian, yesterday, did it for real. I had to leave it in the car for a spell and it got warmer than predicted. Curled the sides and flattened the back. Is steam the answer here?
I have a few Zippos and Scripto Vu lighters. It started with my friend who served on the U.S.S. Coral Sea, he gave me a brass Coral Sea lighter with the enameled ingraveing. At this moment, I can't for the life of me, remember what else I have.
First time out this year for my old friend. One of my first hats—a Cuenca gambler—nice and soft. Kind of incongruous, what with wearing a jacket and a straw, but this morning was cool at 6:30. It's said that it will turn out to be bright and warm and I'm looking forward to it.
Dang, sorry to hear about your knee. This getting older busines ain't for sissys. On the other hand, you look good in that red beret. Is that the rust?
That's just about the color I was thinking of. Looking real good there. Czech, eh? I'll look into it.
I'll let Daan answer that one with some...
tropicalbob and RJR, thanks for the insights and recommendations. Ever since Bob Roberts ordered a milan from PB's, I've been considering something along that line. The Akubra Range and/or Reef (hemps) have been on my radar since the winter. Reckon I should look around a bit. I'd like to get the...
Nice! I like it.
Thinking about a green as well, something khaki-ish, maybe? Though, that Super Lujo, pictured above in Daan's post looks pretty nice.
Speaking of the torrent in Wellington, Daan, I'm surprised you didn't go for the txapeldun—that's one that has some serious coverage.
On the...
That's a real nice find, Michael! Looks like we're fully on a blue jag, here. I've seen and appreciated some of your work in the hats thread. If you have the opportunity, post some of your beret work here. More is merrier!
Thanks fellas, Nico. I had to talk myself into that blue, but I chose it on purpose—because it wasn't navy. Not that there's anything wrong with navy, no—I just wanted to step a little out of my comfort zone and navy would have been a "safer" choice. The Royal Blue surprised me a bit, but in a...
Hi, and thanks for the quick, informative reply. I hadn't though about some of our resident hatters like Art... I will now. Good info on the BB, I'm still going to have to mull this whole thing over. Thank you, again.
Kind'a outta my league as well, but I tend to be irrational when battling an obsession (at least I admit it and have so far controlled it—which is unusual for me). I've been thinking about a nice Panama for the past couple of years, but I haven't jumped because it is such a price for a seemingly...
