That reminds me of phrases I heard growing up as a french kid near Woonsocket RI.
- a buck tree eighty ($3.80)
- on Wensdee, I make my stores (grocery shopping on Wednesday)
- Pick up your room
- Hey kid, da next time you go tru my yaad, go aroun!

I miss those times.

Down in Da Swamp, the denizens have their own way of tawkin':

"Makin' groceries" (grocery shopping)
"Neutral ground" (what civilized places call a median)
"Heart" (pronounced "Hawt," short for "sweetheart," I guess: "Listen, hawt, I got to go make groceries")
"Your mom'n'em's house" ("The dwelling where your mother and her relatives reside")
"Where y'at" ("How are you," not "Where are you located")
"Baby" (as used between adults, where the speaker is usually female, often black, and may or may not be older than the person she's addressing: "You jus' wait right there, baby")

Anyway, great hats, everybody!

Luckily I have my eye on one...

I was going to wear another Strat today... But I decided to break out the Schoble
...as always just happy to be part of the fold

You're making me homesick!

Moon, good choice. You answered the call. It made me think of this, a hat once owned by John Bonham.

wow ... I had never seen him in that hat

funny though as I looked in the mirror before I left for the studio I immediately thought of John Henry .... though I always think of him in the bowler ... something about the reflection that looked back at me reminded me of my long time hero

I'll take it !!

Aaah, that's the stuff. Looks good, my friend.

I found you a new T-shirt.

Hey all!

Realized I forgot to post the last couple days. Borso Como and Battrson, should anyone be curious.
While waiting for a minor reshape on a new to me straw to set, I'm going with the Chilla from Manila today.

Moe ANOTHER super straw! Just amazing, man...

Eric there is absolutely no room for improvement. You are at the zenith of hat greatness, sir!!

Moon, the Schoble shines!! Seriously, nobody has done a Hommy better than you! Try a few side pinches (front or full length) to mix it up, but only for variety, because it's already completely right on you.

That's why a couple of gentle frontals might work better. Just caress them into the hat, while you're alone with it... :eyebrows:

Seriously styling that Strat, Matt!! Classic, conservative, POWERFUL; especially with that power tie.

Glad you noticed my "power knot" LOL. I just love this hat, I may be buried in it. Very excited for my next project though because Bob at Black Sheep is making a strat clone for me that I am sure will be awesome, but its hard to beat having a vintage one

g.durand, I'd trade your climate for mine in a second.

I hear you. If we could only get the culture of the Swamp and the climate of the Bay Area together in one place.

So many hats to comment on...I'll just say Esther, I'm with the others on the camel coat, and moon, that is a fine new look for you.

Wearing old No. 1 today.
