Another week, another WEDDING! Yup, down in Anthony's (@moontheloon) neck of the woods, sort of. This time a black tie affair, NO option! Fine, as long as one of my selection of tuxes fits (they shrink, and grow over time I have found...). My first, and favorite tuxedo has earned its keep, having been worn to several weddings, including my sister-in-law's colossal, three-ringed extravaganza 30 years ago. Where did I get this great garment? It was the very one my father wore to his indoctrination into the Masons in 1946. Yes, I have gotten Dad's father's money's worth out of this one!

Hat: 1952 Stetson St. Regis. Perfect!!

Oh, yes! They also had an attended coat/hat check room. The young gal was so completely clueless about what to do with a hat that when I suggested she slide the ticket behind the ribbon she misunderstood, and attempted to force the F-ing COAT HANGER into it. I saved it, and gently educated her for the next hat under her care.

I feel your pain! I am always educating hat check people on the proper way to store a hat. I have had a few smashed up through the years. That St. Regis is perfect with your Tux. Looking good Hats!

Hey folks!
Many thanks for the likes and kind words on my recent posts.
Rounding out my selection of brown Homburgs (and 'burg-like others) is this freshly re-flanged Borden from the 50's, I believe, maybe earlier.

Wow thats a really really nice homburg. The full crown and brim give that hat bold look.

all black today. c.1920s Schwarz. had to force a happy look, mourning a tragic loss of my father in law yesterday. Hug your significant others, children, siblings, pets for me on this day. Give all the love you can, because in the end, that is all we have

I was just young enough that the war was over by my enlistment in the USAF. Just barely... I sat and watched Nixon resign and 10 minutes later I was being sworn into the military.
MIke, the idea of watching a President resign just before being sworn into the military says something about the absurdity of those times. I enlisted a few years before that, did my 4 years, took a European out and didn't come home for 5 years because I wasn't sure what home was anymore. Looking back over those 50 years though, I don't think it was any harder for us than for the kids who followed us. Cormac McCarthy got it wrong; this is no country for young men (or women.)
