What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Mario]

Thanks! I'll post a few good shots of the hat and the hat alone. Sometime next week...

 

[zetwal]

Of course ... Have a great weekend, Mario.

Same to you, my friend. Same to you.

New to me via RobStC (arrived today): 1920's Austro-Germanic (...) long hair fedora 'Eleganter Sporthut'. I will post some more detailed photos of the hat over the next few days.

Thank you once more, Rob!

Mario, Super! As you know I am slightly partial towards those type of finishes.

Optimo Montecristi


At the Edina Art Fair, the first art show of the season here in Minnesota, on a gorgeous day.



In the background, one of our favorite old theaters in the Twin Cities, the circa 1930s Edina Cinema.



Discussing some fine points of highland Peruvian tapestry weaving. There is a fascinating parallel between Andean weavers from Ayacucho and the paja toquilla weavers from Pile/Montecristi, Ecuador. Weaving on the treadle loom that he built himself is Andean Master Weaver Wilbur Quispe.

A large step down in weaving.

Today I'm out with my Cuenca straw porkpie from Worth & Worth. I'm new so I can't post pictures but you can see it in my avatar.

Beautiful morning straws, AL and Robert. Two very different takes on our beloved northern summer.

Not my favorite of your many stunning hats, RLK, but I must say you do look nice with the revamped facial topiary.

Today, just a few steps from Nashua Main Street, it is me and Mr Main Street.

So I wore this blue Carlton Club since it's super warm and nice out. I was walking through Target and this older gentleman was standing by the store scooter he was riding. He was wearing a sweet dark grey milan. He saluted me as I walked by.

AL, thank you for your comment!

Lastmohecken, there are a few more pictures of this old Stetson western here. Good luck!

Thanks, I appreaciate the other pictures.

By the way, Al, congrats on reaching hat mecca! It's a looooong way off for me. That Optimo Montecristi looks awesome. I'm curious-- were you able to take a look in person at some of his straw rolled brims? The few pictured on the website look tight and pristine, but I never can get a true read from those isolated marketing photos glowing on my monitor.

Nice, relaxed shots, Bowlerman.

We decided to visit the zoo today.

The standard Akron Zoo photo.

It's almost like The Never Ending Story. almost

Peanut butter fish are sorely under represented in Akron.

The new carousel is all hand-carved wood, and made in Mansfield, Ohio.

For some, inexplicable reason, I couldn't stop thinking about Jeff Goldblum.
