A wonderful photo to accompany difficult news. I think you will be surprised to learn how many around you have shared this experience. I know we were. Sending good vibrations to you and your new bride.

Your daughter looks so much like her beautiful mama...

Thank you Esther - very true, though it is certainly a huge cauldron of genes and different traits bubble up to the surface all the time. The younger one keeps telling me how many times during the day she realizes that she is me. I hold her hand and tell her it will be OK.

Stunning.

Thanks. Fantastic Borsalino.

My heart felt condolences to you and your wife.

Has she started to collect vintage hats? If so all hope is lost.

Steve, that's a gorgeous Homburg.
Those proportions look great on you.

Also -- thanks for all the uplifting things everyone passed my way last week. Unfortunately, the wife and I found out for sure on Friday that we had a miscarriage. Our spirits were pretty low after we got the news, but we're doing much better now.

Beautiful Borsalino, buddy.
So sorry to hear the news. We had a couple of those those. Sending prayers and thoughts y'alls way.

That's gorgeous! I love.

Thank you kindly, girl.

Love the "muflone" colored Borso, Harv. What a great pinch on that. These ultra thin felts really take a great shape. What I like even better is that I don't have to be jealous because I have one too! I believe rclark has one as well

Tommy, thanks. Yes, I believe we three all have one. It is a fantastic hat.

Harv, Thanks! What is interesting is Möckel called all their hats Homburg Hats. Your Borsalino is superb! Beautiful felt!

Steve, thanks!

Great Hommie, blue. I envy your collection.

So sad to hear the news. As others have said, the pain will subside. Prayers and thoughts are coming to you.

Another cold day. Guess I'd better get used to it.
Silver label Lee Edgelee today. Steam isn't quite doing the trick to get it to hold shape. Needs a proper reblocking. But I like this hat nonetheless.

Great hat(s)/helmet! This is Akubra week for you!

Thanks Daniele!
Here's a couple of shots of the interior.

A very classy hat for sure. I consider myself lucky to have seen it and recognized it for the gem it is.

I would pay admission to get to look at your hats, Steve!

Just another extraordinary example. Thanks for sharing it with my eyeballs.

Alan, as I have told each of my offspring at one time or another, "I smile, because you're my daughter (or son); I laugh, because there's nothing you can do about it."
Please don't footnote me here, as I forget where that came from.
