Great hats today, and cold cold weather from what I see! Not in Barcelona where it was mild today (balmy compared to most of you guys!)

Well it's always nice to buy "new" clothes after losing weight, I also lost quite a lot. Thank you for your kind comments.
Demure I'm not, got you fooled! ;-)
I see your bow is back on the left side, phone camera issues solved? Good look today!
Looking good, I do not blame you layering up, I...
Polaroid big shot of Andy Warhol fame, and long hair grey felt, stingy curled brim. Same crown as yesterday but using the other string groove resulting in a higher crown.

Glad you like it! It's made from new blocks I bought in the late 90's., not my own design. The crown block has two string grooves allowing it to be blocked with a deeper or shallower crown. This is the shallower version.

Lovely hat! I have a soft spot for velours...
Precioso el sombrero!!
Great hat and tie!!
Better with coat, but the cardigan is lovely. You sure know how to pose with style. Are all these clothes you've had for years or all newly bought I wonder?
Beauriful hat, love the contrasting colours...
Today's hat, with some delay! Still got catching up to do, I don't want to miss a single hat! Will get there... eventually!

You don't need a sauna (although a picture of you in the sauna with your hat on might be worth it). You need to start considering taking the pictures indoors!
BTW you look great, love the hat, love the look!

You might be joking but the ridiculously named book "Woman as decoration" (1920) has a chapter called "Woman decorative in her motorcar". The text does not disappoint:

I guess men can also be decorative in their motorcars ;)...
Thank you very much :)
I hope you're feeling better.
Deciding to post on FL has been really good for me. Life was, and is, weighing down on me as I spend most of my days taking care of my elderly mother, and it's easy to let go and lose onself when caring for someone else. Posting on this thread...
Been off the loop for 24h, glad to see everyone looking so good despite the occasional health issues.
Good weather in Barcelona, sunny and 13°C. Out and about with my warm foldable.

Hope everyone had a good monday! I went for the comfy choice today, the foldable hat. Interesting (or not that much reallly) the chevron fabric belonged to some old and loved trousers of mine, that are thus getting a second lease of life!

Interesting indeed! I never heard of the 12 pennies, sounds like fun!
I don't know! Apparently it has been around for more than a century, and everyone does it over here. It's fun!
Happy New year and thank you!!
Love the shadow pictures!! Looks like you had a good time!
Thank you! I suspect...
Gracias Chamuco, que hermosos comentarios. Veo que conoces Barcelona bien, cuando vuelvas estaremos encantados de invitarte a un buen restaurante :)

Welcoming the new year with my great grandfather's topper as requested by Michael A.
His name was Manuel Gonzalez Calzada, and lived in Salamanca. His initials are stamped in ink on the inside. The hat shows it's age, but I'm greatful it has survived.

Thank you Red, it's a Liberty of London tie that belonged to my dad, he died in '91, so it's like carrying a little bit of him with me. The tie remains intact, so it could eventually be recovered. I'm glad you like it, and happy new year to you too!

Just welcomed the new year in Barcelona, all my best wishes to you all for 2017! We stayed home and ate our traditional 12 grapes at midnight while watching TV. The pics are from earlier in the day at the food market.

Thank you!! It was the prototype for a new project I've been involved in (a luxury brand of mostly jewelry but also shoes and hats, handcrafted in Barcelona) and they chose to order the hats with non contrasting ribbons, in tobacco and grey :(
The lining is Italian tie silk, and I'm particularly...
Thank you Michael! Yes, I made both the block and hat, the felt is from Tonak, a nice velour finish. Glad you like it :)
