A visit from the postman forced a midday hat change.

It's still deciding what it wants to look like.

Dang there are a lot of nice hats out here today.

Nice Whippet, Michael! I would say mid to late 1950's from what I see in your pictures. Earlier had a bit wider brim. I have one here that measures 2 3/4 from the ribbon to the edge. You have a fine example there. Love the color.

I have been in my basement workshop all day making my first attempt at fashioning a foot tolliker from some poplar I picked up yesterday. The clearance is low down there, so no hat. Finished for the day and not planning on venturing out, so...

The Light Gray Stetsonian is for "El Roberto" (brim up, natch!)

The Dalton OR Clone is for my man, Anthony - "Mr. Crease"

This Mallory "The Dallas" is for "The Harvinator"
Picture4.jpg


This (jauntily angled) Resistol San Antonio is for "Ms. Weis" and "The Rick-ster"

...and the Silvermist Gannon (my first and maybe favorite) is for me!!!

Hey people!
Many thanks for the likes on yesterday's project. Harder to make a sloppy careless looking bow (that doesn't look kike total crap) than it is to make a nice sharp crisp one. From what somebody posted shortly after I posted the pics of the original bow, the style only lasted a year or two. I think I know why...:)
Today is a great day for a G.B.Borsalino fu Lazzaro &C. Stiff Felt.

Is your project here finished, Jim or will you be back in '17?


Cheers!
David

It's actually a F-16 tech meeting at Lockheed. I don't have resources to attend this year. I was hoping to tilt another with you soon.

No chicken fried steak and cute bartender at the H3
No trip to the Outlet
No brewskie with David
No carrot cake from Kathy at Lockheed

Today I've had a very fine morning and lunch with my brother, he took his camera, so you're getting a full report, and an overdose of my face and hat!
First we walked through the old streets of Barcelona, past the Palau de la Musica concert hall, a jewel of art nouveau architecture.

Then by pure chance we walked past the shop/workshop of a craftsman that makes awesome aprons and shirts from Japanese denim, who by the way was wearing a hat, Bramby Supply Co. I learnt the story behind Japanese denim and the narrow looms used originally by Levi's to make jeans, sold to the Japanese after WWII, and left the shop with the wonderful apron I'm wearing in the second picture. It has a leather front pocket, and wonderful suspender style strap leather back.

Finally we had lunch at "Circulo del Liceo", the club adjecent to the Liceo (Barcelona's opera house), which is also an art nouveau jewel, and miraculously survived the fire that ate up the opera house in 1994. They have interestingly a room full of hat racks, these days sadly relegated to hold bike helmets... but on the bright side they are still there, albeit a bit bare! (those are the only two pictures taken by me, and I did a lousy job).

Finally a big thank you to my brother Joaquin for taking those great pictures of me, you can see him on the reflection of one of the pictures!
And apologies if I overdid with the pictures, I promise it will not happen often!
