Gave one of my Amana ties it's first wearing ever yesterday. I had to pull the cardboard sheath tag off of the back blade.

And today I had the recent Resilio find out for a trip around town.

There is a lot of work in that luck. Ha ha. No great shakes of a hat, but the straw is supple and that nice open weave should be cool. Will probably see a lot of wear this summer.
I'm liking the tie, too. This is the first time I've worn it.
Thanks,
Michael
Went for my ride wearing 186 g of western weight felt

May or may not do a little reshaping work to get it...
Thanks Steve. I haven't had this hat out since last summer I think. The tie is a Resilio that I just found the other day. I think it is from the early 50s probably.
Great looking Mayser for you today. You really should wear that one more often.
Thanks,
Michael

More like a blindfolded man than masked man the way my eyes are going. Thanks.
Sorry to say, this one is a 7. And Stefan put in early dibs on it.
Thanks Alan. It is my favorite suit. And Happy Birthday. That is an enviable lineup of birthday hats you posted today. All fantastic. And the...

Great ties Eric. And epic to have the Wembley pattern in two colorways.
Thanks Dale. I was almost shocked to see hat green/optic yellow/gold (it varies a lot by light source and viewing angle) color. I don't think I've seen anything near it in vintage stuff before.

Found two new ones today.

Not sure if that is Goldfire or Coldfire, not that I have any idea what either of them are.

Great look, Doug. And congratulations on the new job.
Yeah, the winter storm warning is kind of a disappointment. I was hoping for tornado warnings. ha ha.
Went out for a half hour bike ride. Rainy, and I thought a bit too much windage on the Hi-7. So I went with the Backhouse waxed...
Fortunately I'm a couple of counties south of the winter storm warning. Still wind, rain and cold. Trying out my Hi-7 for the rain protection part.

Yes, Amana Iowa. They've had a woolen mill there since around 1860. It is still in operation as the only woolen mill in Iowa. I think only a shadow of what it was in it's heyday. And it was actually started by religious refugees from Germany. Ha ha. I don't know for sure that the neckties...
