Thanks mmb!
I almost bought a Garfinckel hat off ebay a while back just so I could make bad jokes like that, but passed on it. I was uber thrilled to see you post this one so I could let the Simon and Garfunkel wisecracks fly!

My grin adequately expresses how pleased I am that I was able to deliver that valuable service to you.

Fever + hat + photoshop apps = weird

Love that hat!

Today, I am test driving a hat that I bought several years ago but have had in a box for that time for reasons I will likely detail in the Homburg Nation thread.

The felt on this (what I believe to be a '40s creation) exceeds the quality of my similar vintage Vita-Felts. I have no idea which maker Julius Garfinckel & Co. contracted for their store branded hats, but whoever it was... they did one hell of a job.

Garfinkel's was a high-end department store in DC. I remember it being quite the place, even when I grew up in the area in the '80s. For a long time, it was the parent company of Brooks Brothers. And Mr. Garfinkel, was a much admired, largely solitary but very kind-hearted man. He died in 1936 and the store collapsed into bankruptcy in 1990. A link about the store and another about Mr. Garfinkel are at the end of my post.

Sorry you're feeling bad, Rick. That hat makes me feel good.

Thanks Greg. These extreme weather changes and cedar pollen has hit me hard!

Damn! So many great hats today. Wish I had the time to comment on each one but duty (SHE) calls.

Rick, thank you!
Yeah, sleet brings out a coat. Damn

That Strat you have on today is fantastic!

 

[Wesslyn]

Thanks for the kind words, friends! Everyone is looking super as always!

 

[RBH]

That's pretty neat. Could probably do something similar with cut nails too. That gave me some ideas.

Cool!
Please be sure to let us see what you come up with.

Any day, right? Mallory has to be one of my favorite brands.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. That Strat should help.

Thanks Jim! From time to time I ponder selling my Premier Strat, as it doesn't get the head time it deserves, but not today!

Mallory is definitely one of my favorite brands as well.
