    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    The feathers sure look well on the hats above and on Bob's. I guess it has something to do with the feather itself. Some hats and some feathers, work together. I haven't had that experience yet. I do believe that the straw and feather thing has some merit. Hmm. We'll see. Edit: the wood chip...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Whoa! Daan, I'm not that daring. That thing glows like the sun at noon in the middle of July! Size-wise—maybe.

    It's funny, I prefer open crowned hats. I like to be able to put an old-school bash on them. What's funny is that the blocked Whippet is a hat I often grab when I'm just stepping out for a spell. Brim up, brim down, still looks good and wears comfortably. I wear it as much as anything else—the...

    Berets, Anyone?

    I was going to suggest that the only thing a neoprene beret would be good for is a shower cap. I see that angle is covered. It was a long weekend and an all beret weekend. I wore all of my good ones for a day. When it's really breezing up (Friday), I like the small 265 Super Lujo and/or the...

    When I see straws on the 'ol Andy Griffith Show (and there's a plenty), seems like anything goes. I don't mind. That one's almost got a Hollywood wave. Cool.

    Berets, Anyone?

    A neoprene beret? I have to wonder what their market research told them. If the "sell" photo is anything to go by, they're gonna have a hard time moving those things.

    Just piling on here—that hat has you written all over it.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Hi NoHorse, I have one of each in nearly the same sizes. I'd say, just to treat yourself, try an Auloronesa. It's exceptionally comfortable. Besides, having some choices is nice. Still, hard to go wrong with either one.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Dragonfly was pretty good. By Red Octopus, they were commercial pop. If you've never listened to Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun, you're cheating yourself out of a tremendous pleasure. One of my essential albums. Jefferson Airplane was one of just a few of my all-time favorites. I'll...

    Maybe it's me, this is what I get when I click the link: Something I need to do, perhaps?

    The MVA in NJ was the worst—and unfortunately, I had a lot of dealings with them. The employees I dealt with had a calculated insolence. All you needed to do was utter one word of impatience or irritation and they'd stretch you out for as long as they cared to, sometimes days—for their own...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Hm. I did get the impression that he (the first post photo) was a very stern, unforgiving man. Your second post cleared that up. Much more "chaplain-like."

    Berets, Anyone?

    Good morning, NoHorse. Those links may not be quite correct as I'm not linking to anything. Would like to see the visuals for your explanations.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Dang it. I reckon now, I'm going to have to do a T-shirt/poster design with a beret. I'd been thinking about fedoras—I may have just changed my focus. :) Daan, all those posters and labels you've posted are very nice, inspirational and I hadn't commented on them. Nice stuff and glad to see them...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Room enough? Don't take offense, may I not state my thoughts? You don't hesitate with yours. I don't know where you're located, but on my part of the planet, the only beret you're going to find is in the women's section at a department store (maybe)—and it still wouldn't be what you (you...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Counterfeit berets? I've never thought about them. Since discovering SPB, it's kind of pointless to shop for berets anywhere else. I'm not worried about counterfeits. Shipping from NZ (it is just about as far away from anywhere as you can be) may be a bit steep, but I've paid more to park my...

    Recommendation for Outdoors Hat

    Hm. Fishing, walking and canoeing. If there's a chance of it going swimming: Tilley. It's what I've been wearing sailing the last couple of years. Chin strap to keep it on in a breeze. Plenty of brim for rain and shade from sun, it floats and you can do anything you want to it. Mash it flat...

    Thanks, hats! Love the pinch-less Dobbs. A good looking no-pinch fedora is hard to come by. As far as the phone, yeah, there's a learning curve. "Luxury, once tasted, becomes necessity."

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Funny, isn't it? I liked the little bit of extra brim and the color of the ribbon. But when the missus speaks-up (and she doesn't often), I take it seriously. You look great in it. During the Summer months, I'm often asked directions in Spanish. I can only attribute that to general comportment...
