    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yeah, I figured I needed a thin ribbon to go to the Truman home. They have his OR hanging on the hook with his coats where he kept it. You can walk right up to it and look at it, although I think they may have gotten touchy if I'd picked it up. He liked a tight pinch!

    Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!

    Nice pics, StraightEight. I've not made it to Lucknow yet, although I did get to Agra this past January. I have some pics of kids playing pick-up cricket, too. You see it everywhere. I should be back in India in January. I'm hoping to get to Manipur in the NE and Madurai in the South. I...

    Royal Stetson Whippet in 7 5/8 arrived today - questions (now with pictures!)

    Looks like a fantastic hat. I don't think keeping the liner would be any problem. And if it says Whippet then that's what it is. I think sending it off for a refurb would be well worth it for such a classic hat.

    And Now...A *Great* Grandfather Hat: Stetson Playboy

    Thanks for the kind words, all. My grandfather was 'pawpaw', too (actually, both were). I've been to Harlan Co. many times. I grew up in Clay Co. My parents still live there.

    And Now...A *Great* Grandfather Hat: Stetson Playboy

    Yes, my current thinking is that I will simply leave it as-is other than brushing it and cleaning/conditioning the sweat. I thought I might even get one of those clear display cubes at Michael's or somewhere. My father thinks there are probably some pictures of my grand-father wearing it. Maybe...

    Hat questions and a possible challenge...

    You just need to get a wool/novelty type hat and probably spray paint it. This is not something you want to spend real money on unless he plans a life of crime in Gotham.

    And Now...A *Great* Grandfather Hat: Stetson Playboy

    Some may recall my earlier 'Grandfather Hat' saga. Well, earlier this year my grandmother, the widow of the Grandfather Hat owner, passed away. My parents have been sorting through her things, of which there is much. In an old trunk they happened to find another hat. This one, as it turns out...

    Johnston and Murphy

    Are those J&M's made in the US? They apparently are making a semi-custom line in the US again. At one time J&M probably made the highest quality US made shoe with their Hand Made line that actually came in wooden shoe boxes. Many had beautiful spade soles. Alden also has Japan-only models...

    My 1st custom from MajorMoore!

    Great hat, IC--congrats! So the leave-your-diary-open-to-the-page-about-wanting-a-new-hat-from-Major-Moore-but-sacrificing-your-own-wishes-in-order-to-buy-the-children-new-shoes trick must have worked!

    Grand idea! Does anyone know a good lobbyist (or is that an oxymoron?)?
