Had to try out my newest jacket again this afternoon.

Still haven't found any photos that might lead to a maker's ID. I'm thinking it's cowhide, but don't really know what it is. I've...
Thanks Jeff, but nobody rocks, or jazzes a bowler better than you. Wish I could find some in a color different than black.

And trying out the leather jacket I've been working on along with...
Thanks Matt. You are looking pretty snazz in your derby today. The crown on this Howard seems to be right about at 5 1/2". It's maybe a 1/4" or so taller than my Stetson and Willner derbies from the same era. While I was out running errands today I had one older lady give the derby high...
Great buy on that hat Red. Looks very good on you.
Thanks Perry. I see you have another great hat and sweater combo going today. You have an enviable collection of both of the aforementioned.
Thanks 65. I'm just hoping it all keeps me warm today.
Thanks all,
Michael

Have some great jacket weather all,

I'm sliding back in time with Matt this morning. Howard derby, also likely from the first decade or two of the Twentieth century

A little worse for the wear, but if I made it into my second century in the same...
Sounds like a great trip, Red, and in a great hat.
Thanks Red. I need to get this one out more often. I tend to forget about hats I haven't worn for awhile. The cape was very nice for today's weather.
Michael
Sounds cold. The wind came up here, so I ended up lazing out on the ride. I don't like having to pedal home into a 25 mph cold wind. I don't particularly like it when it's a warm wind. Ha ha. I am hoping to keep getting out on more calm days this winter.
Michael
Great looking hat DD. It looks a bit warmer there than it is here.
That is a really nice color combo. Looks good.
Thanks Perry. I am really digging the double sweater and VS look for you today. Winter stylin'.
Michael
Cold and breezy 13 degrees F finds me in a Rodex cape this morning.

Ain't winter grand?

Seems to be a big day for homburgs here today. I picked this Golden Pheasant out this morning, but then had to go for my weekly grocery shop before getting the photos up.

That is a great hat Alan. And also nice to see items that came through Juster Bros. One of, if not the, premier menswear stores in Mpls for many years. What a beauty it is.
Michael
That hat is absolutely superb Daniele. And the scarf is very nice too. A great look for a chilly morning.
A super dandy pickup Jim. That is a fine looking Mallory and looks good on you.
Michael
Thanks Red. I'm not normally that attracted to this sort of crease, but on this hat it seems just right. I changed it once or twice and always went right back to this one. The shape and the long hair just seem to work together. I still have no good clues as to what fur the cap is. But I...
First, the video you linked is very cool. I would love to be able to do something like that. They look like super cold weather boots.
I don't know enough about shoe making to be able the comment on the construction techniques. I think some of the shape issues you are seeing are due to the...
