Enjoying a final day with my granddaughter before she goes back to Virginia. Wearing my modern Stratoliner.

The wedding was fantastic. Here's my son and his bride on Saturday, moments after getting hitched.

Mr. M.M.Barnes... HOW do you DO it?! Another Ultra Special lid, there!!!!!

Thanks, Anthony. I agree. Now, if only I could get the grandchildren to move closer. We have one in Virginia and three in Beijing, China. That's just plain ridiculous.

Hato – Amazing as always. Nice ensemble today.

Fruno – Welcome back! Awesome hat on you today.

Esther – We are very earth tones today. Looks good. Love the ribbon color.

David – Again, gorgeous colors on that one. Sharp!

1Mach1 – Fab. Nuff said.

Eliesti – Perfect hat for imperfect weather.

Hurricane – Ditto what I said for Eliesti.

RJR – Looks like your perfect hat.

Bob – Looking good, compadre.

Moon – I LOVE that old Dobbs. It’s a beauty.

MM – A wider brimmed Game Bird. Beautiful. The shorter brimmed ones I’m not so crazy about. Looks sharp.

My Dobbs 40 I can't take off my head.

Wow, I like that! That has to be a pretty rare bird (no pun intended)!

I smell smoke . Jack are your pants on fire ? ... And Anthony's comment "Fire" I remember that slang euphemism for Awesome , but some now days I have no idea what they mean . Seems the Isley Bros had a Song , or somebody : Fire . Back in the day . You've got some Great Hats Jack ! Have you ever been to Luling ? The Houston side of San Anton ? Several miles .

agree ... too far ... but my late grandmother told me when I moved from NJ to LA that heart strings are elastic and long enough to stretch around the world

Hey, how about some love for us ugly MFers?

There's more of us than there are of you!

Hey everyone!
Nice Game Bird, mmbarnes! I wonder if all the colors they come in are duck colors...I'd dig one in Mallard Green!
Still not a straw weather day, so I'm going with the Jazz Man Cavanaugh, a snugger fit for a gusty afternoon.

Still enjoying the Giants payback with a 4 game sweep of the Dbacks.
Have a great day!

Hey, it was the 70s, where you could hear CSN&Y, followed by Sly and the Family Stone, then "Me & You & a Dog Named Boo" without changing the channel.

Thanks for all of the kind words about the Game Bird.

Sadly, it is going to have to spend some quality time on the stretcher to get it just right. It is a 7 and I need a 7 1/4. I sent it to Bob at Black Sheep, with the idea of maybe re-blocking it to upsize it. Unfortunately, I'd lose the original sweat so I got cold feet. I decided that it would be a crime to replace the original parts.

I know that a two size stretch can be a tough proposition, but with lots of patience I had good luck with my C&K homburg that came to me as a 7. So, I've got my fingers crossed.

It looks to me like they had an array of crazy Game Bird colors. While the ad below is from the thirties (while Brad Bowers believes mine to be from the forties), it looks like they had great selection. So Moe, I bet that your mallard colored one is out there waiting for you somewhere.
