A pre-war Barbisio made from nutria felt.

I often reach for this hat to wear to synagogue. It has a compact form which makes me less self conscious about blocking the view of the person sitting behind me. And also because it is a Bulgarian survivor of WWII. Quite a few of these survivors have turned up for sale in recent years. Most often when I hear of Bulgaria I think of the two young souls that Rick helps out at the gaming table in Casablanca. This morning I learned that 45,000 Jews in Bulgaria survived the holocaust through Tsar Boris' non-compliance with German requests to deport them to concentration camps.

To those of you who are fasting today, may it be easy and meaningful.
Special hat on appropriate day.

Cold and rainy. Feels good to have a hat on my head. It's a cowboy conversion. Australian company called Cross Country Hats. Found it and an old Resistol San Antonio that was beyond repair so my late girlfriend sewed the ribbon and wind trolly onto this one.

He's back and he's still got the style. Did you do the conversion yourself?
