[jlee562]

David: That eggplant felt is sublime!

Lauro: I have a very similar Stetson stingy actually. Looking good!

Flere: Welcome aboard to the lounge! You're off to a good start in that Borso.

Randall: a very noir-ish pic, but I like the look!

Robert: Nice playboy! I have one that needs a reblock, I may send it to Optimo as well....

Manfred: the color of that Huckel really works for you! I like the ribbon and binding on that one as well.

For me, I'm doing the 'casual Homburg' look again in my Cavanagh:

Looking very spiffy, David. the mustache looks good on you!

Thanks, Randall. The mustache is only there for Movember - think so anyway!

David, very good choice for a trip, looks good!

Thank you, Manfred - that Huckel is perfect for you.

It's great to see all these Eggplants showing up-- jlee, yours was one of the seeds for my Falcon Park. I really like the ribbon on yours, David.

Cheers, Jeff. I love the ribbon work on both the hats that Bob has made for me.

David: your spoiled, too many outstanding lids

Thanks, Javier. I've certainly been very lucky in getting some nice hats to wear.

David, Eggplant yum ! you & Jared got the goods & dig the bow 3-D effects looks better than the pics on the Black Sheep site..
say Philly get a real Cheese steak for me with all the fixins !! hey is that a Over head wire for streetcars behind you ? Enjoy your trip .

Although we are often here in Philly (our daughter is at school here) I'm not a cheesesteak fan. Did stand in the long line at Gino's Steaks back when we lived in the area years ago - was never bothered about going back for more.

The lines you see in my photo are not for streetcars, but they do still use them in some parts of the city. They run both on the streets and underground - we sometimes get the trolley from University City back to Center City. Here's a photo of a current Philly version - not as cool as the ones you hang with...

Lauro - love the shot with your doggie, very cool! Your store looks really interesting as well.

Flere - a welcome from me as well! Can't beat a Borsalino.

Jared - thanks. The Casual Homburg looks works really well for you!

Lauro, thanks for the shop picture! Good explanation re: mass-produced vs. historically and locally interesting products, too. I'll definitely drop in next time down, pick up some new knowledge, a t-shirt, and pet that cute buddy of yours.

Cool shop lauro, SF is my favorite city.

 

[countryclubjoe]

Thanks Mike, cheap hats and being comfortable flying economy is the saving grace to being child sized! My folks and I have owned a restaurant in SF for the past 18 years but in my spare time I have a tiny shop in Hayes Valley where I design and sell t-shirts that deal with SF history. Used to freelance doing tees for GAP and Levis and got tired of doing mass produced commercial stuff with not too much meaning so the stuff I make and sell now has to connect somehow historically to the city. Not a lot of money in it but it's fun and hopefully customers walk away having learned some history. Don't know if it's ok cause it's not hat related but below is a pic of the

Hi lauro13
Great looking shop. Do you stock any items from the Joe Montana era with the 49ers? Better yet any Montana items?
Best regards
