Fedoras afield

[HeyMoe]

The rule of thumb is we have eight months of good skiing and four months of rough skiing and three seasons: winter, mud season and road construction.

not hip on the 420 but the georgia brown i had on the savannah pub crawl was awsome also admire the hat what kind is it?

As well you should have.
I've tried the Georgia Brown, but haven't heard of the other. Do they ship it across the line, or do I have to come over there to try it?

It is my understanding that their CT is a very limited run. Don't know if it's bottled. I liked a little more than GB. However, neither compares to a good stout.

I'm really enjoying this thread.

Yesterday my family and I visited Cliveden, famous for it's place in the 'Profumo Affair'. I spy scandal that rocked the conservative government in the 1960's. The house itself was covered in scaffolding as it undergoes refurbishment. However here are some pictures of the grounds and a the obligatory hat shot.

The hat is a custom from a hatter in Germany called Advintage. The hat is in the style of the hat worn by Harrison Ford in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Beautiful place, eye-popping photography, and an awesome obligatory lid, Ted. Good show, and thank you for taking us along!

Wonderful photos, and a nice India hat, too. The greens are so green! We really don't have anything quite so lush in my corner of the world.

Tedquinton, beautiful scenery and nice hat too! I have liked the looks of the of the Advintage hats I have seen online and wondered about the quality. It looks sharp.

Reminds me of my local Ted, except the centuries old estate. Actually there are some turn of the century estates around Gravelly Lake in close by Lakewood. They were built by transplanted nobles who found a familiar landscape to resettle onto.

I own hats by Art Fawcett, John Penman, Mike at Northwest Hats and an Akubra. My Advintage stands comparison with my customs. It, perhaps, does not quite reach the standards of my best customs but is a massive improvement on the Akubra, for only a relatively small increase in price. I love it and am happy to recommend it. It has become my 'go to' hat and has stood up to everything the British weather has thrown at it.

Holy Smokes! Someone had quite the decorating budget for halloween. That's impressive! Nice finds at the thrifty too. I dig the little mariachi.

Speaking of mariachis, my town is home to a fair sized latino population (enough to support at least three spanish language radio stations) and today is All Souls Day, which along with yesterday, All Saints Day, are the Dias de Los Muertos, the days of the dead. For many years now on Nov. 2 there is a street fiesta to mark the occasion. It's sort of an outreach to the Spanish speaking community, and is a nice time for all. There are food trucks and bands and traditional Mexican dancers. Hope you can see the pics o.k. I didn't have a flash.

I wore my Stetson Open Road for the occasion. Even had a guy in a big lonesome dove crease western call me out and say nice LBJ hat.

Nice local action Lefty and Dale. We don't always need to go too far afield to see amazing things.

 

[Chepstow]

Great shots (and hats) Ted, Lefty, Dale & Che.

 

[mikespens]

Tremendous collection and shrine Che, take a shot for me too!

 

[dh66]

Beautiful altar Che, and hats off to your art collection. My shots are of the altar publica. As you may well know, Birmingham is not a city widely known for it's history of racial harmony. It has come a looonng way since the 60s, but it is what it is. This is a community event with multi purposes. Folks can remember friends and family who have gone on AND learn a little about a culture different from their own. It is a good thing, even if not completely traditional. Regardless of race or creed, we all miss and mourn someone who has gone on before us.
