What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[jimmy the lid]

I was getting too comfortable in my Resistol silverbelly "Wide Country" so I changed it up this weekend with a Stetson silverbelly royal deluxe OR.

That's a great look for you, bowlerman. :eusa_clap

Perry -- fantastic Borso!

Rodkins -- I like the look of that Bantam. Nice.

Excellent choice for a Texas trip, Mike!

Excellent hats, all... special call out to Mike and Jeff for those open roads. Well worn!

Stetson Temple on a dreary day in Cleveland

A surprisingly comfortable hat. I wish the crown had a bit less taper, but it's arguably be the most comfortable hat I own.

Hi Andy

I agree completely. I'm wearing mine today. I called into the Stetson Outlet to see about getting a gray one for my son, they were out in his size, but the lady said that when they came in again, they would cost $129, not $80 AT THE OUTLET.

Very comfortable hat though.

Got some new looks going on today, gents, from Rusty's "not" TAR, to Robert and DJH's flat caps. Makes me think we've entered the Twilight Zone. LOL Nice to get a little variety, I suppose.

Looking good my friend, glad this one found a good home!

Thanks, Jared. The side dents are a bit deeper than when you owned it, and the pinch is a bit tighter. The hat just feels right on my head.

Nice and clear and cool this am so on the head goes my Bushman, my CD on steroids

While looking for hats in antique stores in Austin I ran across this...

I showed the picture to a friend and he asked me if it was real or stuffed.
I said it was real and he just loved to rock vintage necklaces.

That is definitely going to be a conversation starter on the plane ride back to Florida.

French Connections

Donna and Lily and I are hosting a french student for a few weeks... part of an exchange program at Lily's school. Many of the kids seem to enjoy hanging out at our house, which we are loving. Sunday we took a drive north to sightsee and pick apples.

Lily thought the best apples were closer to the sun.

Donna sampling the wares. We brought home 4 half bushels.

I'm supervising in my Dobbs Cross Country Flanul felt.

finis.

French in the middle, from left... Jessica, Camille, Mathilde and Lily.

I have a stuffed, dried iguana. I was thinking of glueing it to the office wall, closer to the ceiling.
Still building up courage for this act.

Is this the "bobbing for apples" area? Great pics!

French Connections, part II

The drive south took us past Niagara Falls.

Cammi and Mathilde... Mathilde is our guest.

the Niagara River below the falls is peaceful.

I never tire of taking pictures at the falls. It's a splendid, ever changing subject.

Alan, simply beautiful.

Its a Rogers Peet "Parliamentarian" made in 1953.

Yup. Back in the '50s, Oxxford Clothes (like H. Freeman for "Oviatt's") produced some unlabeled RTW items for stores to put their own 'house label' on. Very rare, but it happened. Does your jacket's lefthand lapel have a boutonniere loop on the inside?

Great photos, Alan, bet you had a great time with those lovely ladies.

Mike, I have a stuffed armadillo I got in Fredericksburg, TX about 10 years ago. He is now gaurding my home office.
