You've got me bracketed. Spent my single digit years in Federalsburg, then moved to Easton. Worked in Preston for a couple of years while in Highschool. Spent 30+ years in and around Philly/NJ. Got divorced and moved back to Easton. Truly (for me) it is "The Land of Pleasant Living." Plenty of...
Thanks guys, I've been taking my cues from both of you (and everyone here) and envy your style, bashes and collections. I figure that I can't go wrong by following your lead. It's an education.Thank you all.
Like your avatar. Edward Hopper was the man. Love his work.
There's fella on my commuter bus that wears a Bergmuetze (didn't know the specific name). He's the curator for WWII British uniforms at the Air and Space Museum. I haven't asked him why he would choose to wear a German hat. It's quite...
That's the one rag I have on modern Stetson's; The tack stitching is horrible. It's a crap shoot. Mr. Deckard, are you listening? Institute some flipping quality control!
I found it in a Hats in the Belfry shop in Baltimore last fall. "Uncle Ruby's Thread and Thimble USA." It may be a 'Belfry store brand? Comfortable and warm.
Bob, that cap you pictured is flipp'in nice! I particularly like that fabric.
All I have now are a few (relatively) inexpensive newsboys. Ivy's, duck-bills, etc. don't do it for me, though I know some folks that they look great on.
Just happened to be wearing this Uncle Ruby's today. A bit of...
Well, I do get looks when I wear a fedora or flat cap (but then, I'm not quite normal, as you can tell), but I notice the "beret look" is less subtle, more "what the... is he wearing?" I wear one of those three types of hat every day.
As far as "shrinking," a psychologist could, I'm sure, have...
Nice beret. I'm wearing the Año 1858/300mm today in fine rain. It keeps the the rain off of my glasses. It has the thickest/stiffest felt of any of my berets—perfect for foul weather. 280 is just enough to give you a bit of material to move around—some might say an ideal size.
I've found that...
Wow. That's something!
Another Wow! I can see a Gannon in my future.
All of you folks looking really well hatted. I'm wearing the graphite Whippet again, today.
Hello Moon, you've been one of my major infuences in hats and I appreciate it.
I was an art director and illustrator when I worked at ad agencies in and around Philly and NJ, from late '79 til '04. Now, I'm a designer/illustrator in DC, commuting from the Eastern Shore (It's a long commute). I...
I've had this for a while now. I like the hat—a lot, in fact. Could be my favorite, except my particular pet peeve with modern Stetson's has reared it's head—again. The tack stitches are absolutely abysmal. I've never seen worse. I'm waiting on the missus to have a go at them.
Modern Whippet...
