    WISH LIST

    Douglas- the Stetson Sovereign is wonderful-one of the few hats I truly lust after, and it must be a 7 3/8, no more re-sizing for me; it's a lovely hat-your taste, again, is impeccable.

    Another Open Road

    Nice lid-it's going to sing some nice old songs when you're done, I'm sure. Finally getting warm enough to start thinking about naptha baths & hanging the hat outside; up until last week it woulda frozed solid, hanging on the line- and the embarrasment of the birds all laughing at it was just...

    Filson wool jackets

    ah, it's the way of so many old houses, being acquired by those that think they can cash in on the reputation of the name, the quality, and the mystique of a venerated style. Seems like Ralph's trying to buy everything that might give him immortality....how about the Bugatti he spent a...

    Filson wool jackets

    I had one, sold it- after a mild winter-and bought another one last year, in the traditional red&black check; the label reads:"why not the best" for a reason-amazingly comfortable, roomy enough, and with all the hunting coats out there, I still get asked what kind of coat mine is; I tell 'em wool.

    My first Art Fawcett

    I just saw the "Jazzman"...wow. I need one. Little thinner ribbon, if Mr. Fawcett would agree to it-but that's a hat to be treasured. And worn! I've yet to take the plunge and order from the man; now that he's expanded his website to include so many examples of hats, I'm gonna have one...

    Greatings all.

    hey Pete- welcome! the nickname does bring back memories of the magic of Pete Maravich-and the story of him dribbling a basketball while sitting in the passenger seat of one of his buddy's cars, driving down the road. Ol' Pete was just dribbling down Main St. at 35mph. Normal. Anyhows-welcome...

    Art (by Dinerman)

    the advice you were given is the best you can get...John Grillo, a member of the Ab-Ex movement, studied under Hans Hoffman at his famous studio in Provincetown-good friends with Karen and I, always told us: "Keep Painting." John must be in his 80's now, and paints every day. This guy rubbed...

    It was a cowboy hat- part II

    Thanks you guys!! Great attitude, great work-and you've given me the courage to finally try to modify one of my westerns; turns out I ain't much of a cowboy after all, so hand me the X-acto and stand back!
