Sadly, no morning coat or top hat in my closet, but I did come up with this old Lockley to try with the pants.

A lovely cool and breezy morning to see what hat I wanted to wear today. Tried this Biltmore Milan 'burg

A great look for sure. It wasn't cool for breakfast here, but tomorrow morning promises to be cool. Yay, felt again. ha ha.
Thanks Robert. It has taken a fair amount of attention, but I think was well worth it. I would say I feel better now than I have since I turned 40. And next month...
I found a couple of pair of shoes today at the local thrifts. First this pair of Florsheim cap toe balmorals that appear to be from 1992 and are in basically unworn condition.

I won't argue against a genetic component, but I will mention that at the beginning of 2015 I was topping out at 252 lbs. Today I'm 158. There was a lot of dieting and an increase in exercise between these times.
Thanks,
Michael
Royal Deluxe OR this morning for coffee.

Thanks Stefan, I'm wearing it at the moment.
Ha ha, it is bright. Not original, my work with the only real grosgrain I have on hand. I'm thinking about dying some of it to dull it down a bit.
No problem. I need a fix every few days too.
The English Hatter is a sweet weave. Both great hats...
Thanks Red.
Super looking boater. Just love that one. Hope you are having a fine theatre picnic today.
Back from my bike ride. Man, it's a swamp out there.

Was relaxing in a yard this evening for a bit, under this Resistol.

The mosquitoes turned out to be rather more voracious than one would prefer.
Enjoy your evening,

It was a lot of fun Red. But the heat and humidity were pretty brutal the first two days.
I don't know how rare, Red. It's not in their current catalog, but one might be able to order it
Yes, the Marathon is one of my $2 finds from yesterday. 2 3/8" brim and the crown is just shy of 4" at the...
The heat is returning, but had to go with the new Marathon for the morning in the yard at least.

I picked up a couple of two dollar beaters today. First an ultra stingy Resistol "Gotham" Kitten Finish, sans ribbon

No idea what Para Panama means.
Ha ha, that black binding does summon up the sound of sword play.
Thanks Perry. Seems like we've been kind of light on Island shirts...
American Hat Para Panama today for an extended coffee in the yard morning.

Thanks Red. The Marathon lost out to the boater in the end.

Curiously, the boater got no mentions in the comments I got today on my clothes. It was the big hit the last time I wore it to a festival.
Looks like this Mondo

I'm not much of an expert in boater quality, but I really like the look of some of the fancy weave ones. I only have one in good wearable condition and it has the free floating sweatband. I really like that. There was a discussion of that patent here a month or two ago, but I have forgotten...
