1900s Stetson on one of the many mannequins located at my work.

That is a pretty snazzy combo right there.

Randall; I do enjoy that statue. I know it as a statue located in front of the Ottoburg Building in Innsbruck. It was introduced to me as a Memorial to 1809 Tirolean Freedom Fighters. The resturaunt in the Ottoburg is quite fancy and has dynamite food. I wanted to see Innsbruck without the pressures of athletic competition and a couple of years my wife and I got to re-visit Innsbruck. Brought back and created a bunch of precious memories.

You and your best enjoy your world tour sir! Thanks bunches for sharing.

Couldn't bring myself to put the hat on the statue. 2000 years kinda intimidated me.

Richard, he knew better. I told him Art Fawcett made it and he could only wear it for a minute, he understood :D

Eric, thanks. His companions definitely could have used hats. He was the biggest of the brutes therefore he got the honor.

I find it hard to believe something so seemingly unwieldy like a chainsaw can produce such interesting art.

Oscar Wilde (with bowler) and the estonian Edward Wilde;

Not a shadow of the Dublin statue but the artist, who got it sóóó right, sadly omitted his flaboyant Fedora there;

If only his fedora had been there...

One can easily imagine Wilde, adorned by his unapologetic smoking jacket, shimmering trousers, and cheeky smile, flicking his head towards a US Customs Control officer to offer: “I have nothing to declare but my genius.” He struts on, head held high, his heavily polished, charnockite-granite-black shoes clicking loudly as he exits.

I wasn't going to give him my hat in case I had to fight him to get it back.
