Lefty, 1507, MV -- thanks for the comments on the Portis.

Here are a couple more shots showing the ribbon, which not only has two colors, but two textures, as well...

Back in July I won this 60's vintage Resistol Open Road clone. I got too busy to do anything with it (not that it needed much) and it languished in its box until today. I brushed it, steamed the crown to get rid of the cattleman's crease, hit it with a hat sponge to remove the old crease's "shadow", and worked it into a diamond crease. Wore it into town and got two nice comments on it :

Nice! I've put a diamond crease in all my lids. It has the nicest lines and adds stability to the crown. Doesn't dent too easy once it's set.

Great hat!

Last night my wife and I celebrated our anniversary. Dinner at the Opus and the Meyerson Symphony! We had a great time! I wore my Mac Lachlan homburg which I recently acquired from buler.

Why do you ask?
We're pilgrims in an unholy land...

I spent part of the afternoon taking my grandma to the mall of all places.

Forgive the crummy quality, it was taken with a cell phone.
