Excellent work, AnA. I love that bow.

Joao, "Barista" in America has come to mean that young guy or lady that works at a coffee house, such as Starbucks, and makes/serves your espresso.

Anyone can serve you a expresso here. It's not a exclusive thing in stores like Starbucks (They are present in Portugal but I prefer a normal expresso anywhere and it's a lot cheaper. You can make almost everything Starbucks have in your house for 1/10 of the price they charge).

It's a new hat. I've been making hats for myself and friends for a little while now. I just haven't posted a ton of pics. Hopefully, my hobby will develop into a larger opportunity.
Because you said it was not a new hat, I though it was a conversion.

Well, in case you're looking for a local "friend" in the Atlanta area who wears a hat size between a 7 and a 7 1/8, you can count on me. :)

Honestly, if you start producing more hats, let me know. I'd like to have a hat made by someone from this area.

I found this G A Dunn & Co Homburg yesterday looking a bit sorry for itself however for a tenner I had to buy it as 'mechanically' it was sound with no signs of mothing at all...which was nice!, on close inspection it revealed that it 'just' needed a pulling apart, a dust, a stretch, re shape/steam and re stitching back together!
The liner was pretty dirty with hair oil/grease as was the sweat band but both came up very well, the oil probably helped preserve the leather as it's amazingly supple for an 80 year old hat, sadly the logo didn't fare well in the cleaning rewquired to remove all the grease/oil.
Both the logos are/were the same with the full GA Dunn andlist of London shops, the liner was also sewn in.
