I visit another place each year, a military/WWII theme museum associated with a tour group. They also have cool Aloha shirts.

Cavefish - do you have a pic of the bend you're talking about?
Ingineer - Thanks for the comments, and brilliant find on that NYT article. Maybe I'll ask at JJ's!

Landman and AnA - Thanks for the comments. They mean a lot coming from you guys.
Thanks! The shades are a custom-made retro "Wayfarer" shape. From Selima Optique. Lots smaller than Ray Bans. So less of a Mr. Magoo effect. They look too huge in the photo, but I think that is from the fisheye effect I get with some selfies! :-(
Yeah I like Perry's casually turned brim...
Thoughts on females wearing fedora's
Most of the women I see wearing fedoras have the touristy short-brimmed straw hats from street vendors. They have a permanent curl in the back of the brim.
I'm not a fan.
But I guess, at least they're wearing hats!

Great Sunday and Monday hats everyone!
Hottest day in NYC for a while. On the way to the office! Starting off with the Shantung Milan, which I'm liking more these days.

Classy-looking fedora for the rain?

Woe, I woke up a bit late today and saw some fantastic hats already!
Rogera - The Campdraft - wonderful color and texture.
GD - like you and dh66, I'm becoming a fan of brim-up. Looks great, the more retro-shaped Ray Bans go well with it!
Eric - that Adams is sublime! The bow too. Is...
Mach, thanks for the tip on the Akubra.
Brother Cavefish, yeah, on the Spanish rust hat - pulling down the front is just what I did yesterday!

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm a bit of a fan of the Asia-Pacific theater of WWII. I go to Pearl Harbor each December 7 for a commemoration ceremony and military tour. The various museums there have some cool Aloha shirts!

I did some research on small garment steamers (not the floor-standing ones), and even tried another brand. But this one is the best-reviewed one out there. It works 50X better than the one I got at Macy's! I returned that one the next day, and my Jiffy - already in a few weeks, I took it on...
Private label 100X from Phrenology
I bought two of these for the different colors. The shop (J.J. Hatters in NYC) has no style name for this hat; they just call it the "100X." The felt supposedly comes from the belly of the beaver. It's got their "Phrenology" liner. The maker lives in...
