Very windy, so a tight, old Stetson I can trust not to blow away.

Very Nice!Hey everyone!
Wearing my new-to-me early to mid 50's Tonak Seal Velour in a color that reminds me of Oscar the Grouch.
If this thing is as warm as it looks, there might only be a few more days left to wear it until next autumn...
Have a great day!

Welcome to the fun! I predict that more hats are in your future. All of us are great enablers of each other's hat "problems." I look forward to seeing you around the Lounge.

Was "Voodoo Chile" the song? When I tried it in Jimi's voice that was the song I thought of.

Thanks guys! I probably don't dress up often enough to really deserve it.

Now that I think about it, Foxy Lady works too.

Just under 50 years ago, forty eight and a half, to be precise, a hat-wearing neighbour of mine explained to me, that the trilby he wore, with a large brim, wasn't actually a trilby, it was a fedora. OK so the crown, ribbon and everything else wasn't quite the same either, but it seemed so, especially to a 22 year old with no knowledge of hats other than a 1960's jockey cap.
Today my wife and I were tidying her father's grave. We had gone to London in our old MG, there was a meeting of like minded owners. the date coincided with my father-in-law's passing, so we utilised our time by freshening his grave and then driving on to our classic car meeting. In the cemetery, at a nearby, freshly dug plot, was a recently buried: Derek John Webb. Derek was my hat tutor, from all those years ago. I hadn't seen him for almost 20 years. Nontheless, his death has left me feeling bereft.
Derek, and his wife Freda, were the best neighbours you could ever wish for. They were also a wonderful couple, so in love, so beautiful, so inspirational. I'm so shattered at discovering Derek's passing. But I know he wouldn't want tears, he was a now and here kind of guy. Involved in the community, a local politician, a mover and shaker. Every hat I wore, new (to him) or old, he would say: "You're learning."
What occurred to me on the way home, was Freda. How to word a card to the lady who was convinced that her wonderful husband would live forever. He was like that, he just lifted you. Maybe she has already come to terms with her loss, as I said, it's been 20 years. And then I looked across at the love of my life. She's never going to die. Nor am I, but of cousre we are, it's just another step along life's path.
So today, I am being strong, for my darling, this is for you.
And for Derek, I will miss you my friend, but every time I wear a fedora, I will always remember you. Rest In Peace.
