everywhere



I'm all about bikinis ... just not the beach

I lived a block from Venice Beach for 6 years ... probably stepped on the sand during daylight hours 3 or 4 times

I like the beach at night ... thats about it

"EVERYWHERE..." ???

"EVERYWHERE..." ???

For sure, You find sand in places even a week later.

A beach is nice with a dog and for walks, I find, otherwise not really.
And I look like a lobster after 5 minutes.

A man who knows how to dress! What's that great hat? Is it possible to get closer shot of the ribbon? Love it!!

I found it on clearance at Brooks Brothers. I got lucky.

Wow 105'F heat index here in Minnesota. My dogs even have ice cubes in their water bowl. Shortly ago the dogs and I went down to the lake and floated around. Not really playing as we all were way too hot and uncomfortable to play hard. My neighbors kiddingly asked if we were going to heat up the sauna for tonight and if they could come over. Stay home I suggested. Boy howdy - I am going to be still on the deck until the bugs chase me into the air conditioning for the evening. Wearing a supernatural panama (vtg. Stetson). Light, tight open weave on this hat. I wear this straw carefully and love every minute. Today the brim takes an up-brim flange au natural. I have worn it Hollywood, down all around, and trad fedora in the past. Each weather change produces a new look. I am adapting by making no change. Apparently getting older is letting hats do as they may.

I tip my glass (beer is a Founders Centennial IPA) to all posters today - well done!

Best, Eric -

That's a week of classy dressing going on there. No doubt.

A'N'A: You make me want to class my act up sir! Love Day#1 tie/shirt/jacket combo. It is an unusual combo, to my eye, that rocks. Thanks for pushing sophistication and class.

Woah man, you're making me insecure about my own suits!
You're killing it with that attire!

That's quite the look you pull of there. Beautiful.

#A'n'A, that's a really excellent style!

Wow, David! That's all I got. Wow!!!

Not quite up to A'n'A's standards, but a highlights of the week recap.

Super sharp!!

You have really impressive style. You can really rock that boater!

I was off the forum for a little bit, so I wanted to go back and thank all of you for the generous comments following my Boater Week! Thanks so much!! Everyone has been looking mighty fine!!

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Your Stetson Beachcomber is drop dead gorgeous, Eric!! I might just make one for myself!!

I'm not a cowboy ... I'm a broke ass musician from NJ

plus I am a NY Giants fan so I pretty much despise the word cowboy

Hear Hear! Redskin fan myself I also can do without the heat.

Pushed this hat out a little while ago.

Stetson Sovereign stingy today. I think it's actually reached exactly one million degrees. I'm with Moon, can't wait for felt weather, not that the heat has stopped me from wearing felts.

AnA; Thanks. Yell if you need any details. As I have posted this hat's felt is truly a stunning creme and the ribbon treatment sets it aside from all other hats on my hat rack. The original leather sweat just plain wore out and I had Mike at NW Hats replace it. Excellent work. You could check with him about hat craftsmanship details. I know about wearing details - not so much the artisan work like yourself. The thread about hat ribbons and the like is terrific reference for the more unique historic hat offerings. It made me go back and start going thru the old 1920-40 magazine ads to see what other hats we do not see. There are a bunch of hats to that are ripe to have modern hats artisans to take inspiration from. Stetson is the tip of the bunch.
