What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[BobHufford]

Keep cool in that one, Bob! It looks great!

Thanks Doug! You're knocking that Falcon Park right out of the ... uh ... park.

Unfortunately it was a very un-shroomy day. But a spot of rain cooled it down enough for me to try on some clothes in anticipation of autumn weather.

View attachment 77208 View attachment 77207 View attachment 77206 Back to work today after a couple of days off spent with my father. Wanted to give my recently acquired 40s era Etchison a go before I send her off to Mike Miller for a new sweat and ever so slight of a stretch.

Looking sharp, Jeremy.

Suits you well, good luck!

Thanks Justin. The Stratton is a good woods hat. A couple of super looks for you today.

You need a Calabash pipe with that deerstalker cap, Michael.

I wonder if they make a supercharged calabash shaped vaping machine? Although silhouette pictures aside, I seem to remember Sherlock preferred a long clay pipe.

What a great 'shroomin' outfit! Go Stratton!

Thanks Doug. Some variant of this outfit is my go to woodlands outfit. The pants are thornproof and shed water too.

Ranger 'shroom!

Thanks Red. Due to the lack of luck with the Stratton today I will have to go with the Stetson Nutria NPS Ranger hat next time, temperatures permitting.

You look to be on the hunt for something, Michael! Don't give up on hot weather on the 1st day of summer!

I'm sure it will be a long time before the hot weather is gone here. But I was just getting ready to take the cape to the dry cleaners and wanted to see what it looked like. Great Falcon Park look today for you.

Thanks all,
Michael

On and off showers with a morning temp of around 60'F here in Minnesota. Wearing a vtg. Lee Comentator. This green hat I have had for many years. It needs to get worn more often. Lee, at the time of this hat, put factory creases in their line of hats. I bump this hat and it pops right back to the factory crease. Lovely green felt.

Best, Eric -

Ha ha. I just got that cape and wanted to see what it looked like. It's a well bug chewed old thing, but holds some interest for me as a possible pattern for a new one. I've always wanted an Inverness, but this will do for the moment.

Actor Jeremy Brett is probably most known & liked for the part. He chose to smoke a churchwarden but it was not Clay. He didn't wear a deerstalker cap either.

I'm not much of an expert in pipes having smoked only a straight briar and a corncob for the most part. I did find this reference to Holmes, https://www.quora.com/What-kinds-of...according-to-Sir-Arthur-Conan-Doyles-writings . In a vintage store sometime back I saw a couple of long white clay pipes and was tempted to pick one up, but it's a slippery slope.

Thanks Willebe. I'm looking forward to having some fun with it when it cools down. Wonder how it will work on the bicycle?

Super looking hat and overall look today Jeremy.

Thank you so much Michael! I really enjoyed both of your hats today as well. The first one had that turn of the century campaign hat look and I loved it!!

Even though whoever wrote that , after saying Holmes smoked a variety of Pipes , brier , clay , and cherrywood , but we can't be sure what they looked like . There's a good chance they look like they still do . And the character loved his tobacco , smoking anything he could get his hands on . Throw in a Calabash (or about any kind), and you'll become the Holmes we know from Basil Rathbone's portrayal ... (with a bent Billiard) ...

Nice Outfit Michael . I've got a clay , and a few more . Elementary my dear Watson .

Although a deerstalker wasn't his regular titfer, he did sport one in a few episodes.

Couldn't finish spraying yesterday, too windy. So, back at it again this morning. Today, tho, with the sweet sounds in my ears of Christie Hynde telling me to just call her angel of the morning!!!
