Nice CC, Eric. Is it "Hankachif" felt?


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

He gave the Lounge up for Lent.

Well, thanks for the explanation. I won't be giving anything up.

At first I worried he might have been knocked down in the excitement and confusion when Harv blew back in.

 

[Redfokker]

He should rejoin the flock Easter Sunday. I propose we all dig out our finest Homburgs that day to welcome him home.

I think that is a capital idea!!! Homburgs on Easter for us all!

That is a plan.

Christy's of London

Homburg in Bessemer ( Dark Grey Black Band )

I am really liking their offerings. My panama hat ( showing soon ) is SUPER slick. Quality has been good on all purchases so far.

No cooperation from the camera this morning. Seems a good hat to pair with some German Loden and Filson Mackinaw cloth.

Hope all is fine in your world,

Nice look today Michael. I do like those overalls (Loder?) Are they wool? I might have a itchy problem wearing those. Wool stuff kind of does that to me.

Love the Dobbs Eric. Unlined and light looking. Is the weather breaking for you?

Thanks Red. The coat is German made Loden, the bibs are American made Filson. Both are wool. I have long underwear on protecting me from the bibs. Fortunately I am not much bothered by wool anyway and it is definitely my favorite material for clothing.

My wool problems date back to my military days. I can handle wool coats, socks give me the itchys!

Can I ask which model your machine is? I swear by old Pfaff sewing machines, they really are the best in my opinion. I learnt to sew on my nan's Pfaff 360, worth its weight in gold (and it's one heavy sewing machine!). I hope you manage to get yours fixed, a good clean and oiling might just do the job. Also make sure the tension's just right, these old machines are pretty particular on that, even more so than the modern ones in my experience. Oiling the pre-1970s machines is a bit of a mission, but absolutely necessary to keep them running smoothly.

If Moe is right, and he and I have the same machine, then his model is a modern Brother Sew-All. Also, thanks so much for your compliments

Thanks for the "Likes" and comments this morning on my Dobbs Cross Country. I know other Fed.Loungers have like hats. This light weight hat is a fav of mine.

Nice CC, Eric. Is it "Hankachif" felt?

I do not know about Hankachif felt. The Dobbs Cross Country must be similar to your hat of the same name/model. The felt is very thin and malleable. The hat is truly one of my favorites to wear. Light and classy. I could easily wear this hat to an early death. I have read and re-read the comparison that Alan published on the Comparision thread about light weights and continue to seek such light weights that would reside at my house.

Love the Dobbs Eric. Unlined and light looking. Is the weather breaking for you?

Not yet - as far as I can tell. Weather has been annoyingly variable this past couple of years. A stable cold temp is way easier to handle than the 40's then teens, rain then snow current trend. I may be the one you do not wish to talk to about weather as I enjoy the winter. Not the really cold temps, but the "normal" winter in Minnesota is my idea of enjoyable. As to wearing a light weight hat - I just enjoy wearing this hat. Indulgence on my part.

Top of the morning to all, Eric -

Bummer. Merino wool, particularly the finer grades, generally don't cause any itching problems. According to the Aussies it's strictly related to the diameter of the fibers.

A real beauty! Love the liner logo.

Out for some morning errands. My modern sage green Strat with it's new Lockheed Constellation pin gets the nod. I picked up the Connie pin off the bay. This hat has been in the rotation a lot over the past couple of weeks.
