A Little Journey to the Home of John B. Stetson by Elbert Hubbard 1911
Great catch. The Roycroft print shop was in East Aurora about 25 miles from me. There were once hundreds of old volumes available to buy in the antique stores around the campus. I purchased a number over the years but never found a copy of this one. The nicest volumes were produced in the first... -

It was a stiff hat for me today. This insouciant upwards bow leads me to imagine that this 1926 photo of Babbitt's might be right about the time this hat was sold. -

Rainy day hat... a well loved early 20th century Stetson. -

Thank you very much. When this hat arrived, the color floored me and seemed so appropriate to Los Angeles, Errol Flynn, Robin Hood, 1938... I don't think I've seen another Stetson in this tone and I've struggled each time I post a picture of it here to capture the richness and hue, usually... -

I brought this hat out to photograph in today's chilly Buffalo spring sunshine. It is very difficult to capture this vibrant and unusual evergreen color inside. The Imperial Stetson 3X Beaver Fifteen (not the later Stetson Imperial) is a pretty rare bird - I've seen only a few surface from the... -

Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?
This is a custom project I designed and had produced with a nice young jeweler who has a storefront at the end of my street. The platinum band posted sometime back came from his estate findings. I had a twenty gram Swiss pure gold bar intended for wear as a pendant. I had thought it was a...- alanfgag

Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?
Nice to see. Do you think thinner or compressed (denser) from years of wear?- alanfgag

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
A Borsalino from a Bulgarian collection that made the rounds on eBay fifteen or so years ago. Advertised as a pre-war stash, it might very well be. The hat was in fine condition save the toasted ribbon which needed replacement. I had intended this hat for my Dad who is a size smaller than me. It... -

Hi Nathan, Thanks for sharing your experience with wind cords. I have certainly experienced chasing a hat that was rolling on its brim down the street faster than I could run. Not fun or a pretty sight. I believe the lapel buttonhole, when not designed for an opposing button, was favored... -

Thanks Joe. I have to pay closer attention to this place. ;^) -

Great refind… thanks! Something about this illustration confirms my suspicions that wind cords might not have seen much of the use intended. -

Thanks Steve... nice explanation. But has anyone ever seen a wind cord in use in a vintage photo or film? I never have. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
I seem to remember discussing this with you in the past. If it were one hat I would guess an owner modification - but if the same on two from different sources, perhaps it was a variation on the wind cord theme. This hat is 1950s as well I believe. Certainly many wind cords were removed on or... -

Hi Joe, Yes, this is the typical wind cord construction with a button at the end of an elastic cord attached to the crown. I have a number of hats (mostly Stetson c.1939-40) that used a fixed button sewn to the hat and a cord with a looped end that would seemingly be looped around a lapel... -

Thanks… this combination of sage and mauve has always grabbed me. I don’t wear hats of this weight and formality much and have passed along most of the twenty, forty and one hundred dollar post-war fedoras I once owned. This one has been a keeper… the colors and that marvelous Knox wind cord button… -
