The heat continues, but at least it cools off at night. Cool morning errands in a relatively light Royal Stetson with wonderful taupe felt, a brown-burgundy crown ribbon and a beige brim binding. The silk aloha shirt covers my portly midsection!

A nice cool morning again today. The new Resistol Caronia gets the call.

Named after the famous Cunard cruise liner. Seems likely to be from 1958 or '59 and had the original price of $10.95.

I think a trip to the store for coffee bean resupply purposes is on the agenda this morning.

A minor miracle! I overheard my wife telling my daughter not to rearrange my hats by colors, because they look beautiful the way they are.
And afterwards she asked me in a conversational way if I wanted to buy more hats. I said I wanted to buy about six European hats, and she smiled and said I would really get hooked on those, because they are really beautiful, and we could have a horizontal closet built on top of the other ones, where the black Optimo hat boxes are.
I should buy a lottery ticket today.

I am wearing my first Homburg. It feels kinda weird not to be able to snap my brim down. I will get used to it, wont I, Red?

Lovely hat, Max. You need to wear homburgs for a while and try different things: pinches, not pinches and what not. You'll get the hang of it.

Good Monday morning! I had one of those existential crisis moments while getting ready for work - I couldn't decide on a hat!

Then I heard a voice calling to me from a box in the corner, "Pick the Frunoberger!"

So, OK.

Far be it from me to ignore the voices in my head.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Good thing you listened: these voices can become persistent!

DesertDog, not to usurp your post today but i thought how often can you see the same named hat by two different makers?
So today you can.
You’ll notice no pinch, no side dents and a crease, well barely!!
Cause this hat is the most disobedient felt.
It just wants to keep it’s own shape and not change. Kinda like me i guess.
That’s why i love it. Plus i think it’s plenty cool as is.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: hope you don’t mind DD
The hat is right: it looks great as it is, Bowen.
