Rogera, Mystic, Jared, Alan, Sprinkles and Steve, thank you very much for the kind words about the Luckenwalder Velour. It was a good decision
to bid on that hat.

Sprinkles, thanks for the nice comment! DDR and Soviet-Hats are rarely to see here.

Joao, the good old 20x, you wear it with class!

hgrail, a new face here in lounge, welcome! A good photo and a nice combination, hat and coat!

Mystic, darn sharp Mallory. That color and ribbon is great and let you look super!

David, smile! You have a fantastic Stetson on your head!

Sam, that Beret is a hammer, always if I see you with it, I think at Picasso!

Alan,

The hat looks great. Have you already had a new sweatband put in it?

Thanks, Mike... not yet. I have a few old unworn unreeded Resistol sweatbands that came in a box with a vintage hat. I took one and sized it to this hat, taped the rear seam and placed a ring of two sided adhesive tape to hold it in place. I will have a new sweat installed down the road.

Good morning. Early morning flight back to Minnesota gives me the opportunity to enjoy the out of doors. Dog walk thru the woods and by the lake has provided energy to that deep place within me that needs recharging periodically. Warm 25'F morning with snow coming later. Fleece and a hat have been very comfortable. I am enjoying being hatted in a VS Wanderer in silverbelly.

Robert, the crown block and dimensions of this hat look great on your head. Is that the original ribbon? Super Sunday selection.
Thank you. The ribbon is perfectly fitted, no visible stitches, very fine gros grain with slight fading and excellent color match--either similar vintage installed well beyond the sweat/renovation quality or original(perhaps better).

Back from the grocery store with ingredients for mushroom and oyster soup. Guests should arrive in 3 hours and the soup and roasted lamb will be ready. Shopping required a different fedora. I selected a vtg. Stetson Stratoliner in cadet blue.

My Stormy Kromer cap is handling stormy duties this evening.

Guests arriving - need to shovel walks and entrances. Shoveling should be the last chore. Fireplaces lit, pre-dinner snacks, and beverages ready. Dinner at the ready and table settings complete. I need to complete shoveling, change clothes and work at being a pleasant host.

Enjoy the evening folks. I will tip a glass in 4 directions for all!

Best, Eric -
