    Fedoras at the inaguration

    The forecast says it's going to be 81 in Dallas tomorrow. :) What's so special about Texas in January is that folks are just as friendly as they are any other month. Heck, you don't even have to be family. :) My grandfather was born in Upper Sandusky. I've always found this odd as Sandusky...

    Winter Weather - First Snow-

    It's 59 degrees at 6:48 PM. Sunny is definitely right about the dearth of precipitation. Some communities in north TX are contemplating water restriction.

    Fedoras at the inaguration

    Getting sick isn't fashionable. Greg, You speak for the 1,000,000 + people who were outdoors during the inauguration, not to mention hours before and after the event. Having grown up in the Shenandoah Valley and spent a fair amount of time in D.C., I know how cold it can be there in January...

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    In my '03 T-bird any hat is fine with the top down. With the top up I usually remove my fedora when I enter and put it back on when I exit. I could touch the ground while seated in an old Triumph but I'd need gorilla arms to do it in a Mini.

    Panama Ribbon Change

    Yep, that's a red ribbon. A small piece of the black ribbon, 1/4-1/2" wide, wrapped around the center of the bow might be a nice accent. It would also add to the AF vibe. Nicely done.

    Stetson Nostalgia: To Stretch or Not to Stretch?

    Your haircut can make a difference in fit. If your hair is cut close/fairly close on the sides, one size larger or a hat jack might be a good idea. If your hair is longer on the sides, a closer cut may well do the trick.

    How do tell the age of a hat?

    Glad I'm not the only one seeing nothing resembling a hat. [huh]

    Another Ribbon Swap....

    I like all of those. The solid brown is the most conservative. The green makes a bold statement. The brown and gold textured is definitely sporty.
