Thanks! I was also in a black utilikilt, in the interest of full disclosure The Gryffindor ribbon was because I was at Universal Orlando, and I do love The Wizarding World.

I did suspect that was the case…. The Universal Orlando part….

It's our favorite place to vacation

We try to go every other year, and stay on site for 7 days. We usually go in December, so it's still Florida but I can get away with the Derby. I do have some summer weight hats for when it gets warmer there.

They have really done a great job with that park over the last two decades. And honestly any improvements over at the Mouse have come from the competition created at Universal. We were long time pass holders. haven’t been in the last couple years…. But I would really like to go back soon.

I posted these photo albums before but there are new posters might want to take look. I have many other Stiff Felts that I need to put in similar photo albums.

Some nice older bowlers you've found there. Congrats. Not always easy in those larger sizes.

Unknown maker, but excellent all round quality Bowler.

Pascal & Gie or just Pascal on the sweat. Wonderful feel and look to the felt. Nice ribbon and bow treatment. Eye-catching liner and logo. Soft leather sweat.

Curses it's not my size. I'd love to be able to wear this one.

I love this hat and I don’t even care for bowlers.

Brent, you would look good in a Bowler/Derby as you do in all of your hats.

My mirror and my wife disagree.

My mirror and my wife disagree.

I do not concur. Keep your good lady wife, but change your mirror

 

[Rmccamey]

You beat me to the reply, Steve. Perhaps Brent just needs to spray shaving cream all over that mirror!
