Great look! The finish shows up in the close up, sweeeeet! Contrasting ribbon? Something to highlight that finish will be nice. Is there a green tint to this hat?

Late, late, LATE, but here we are. Mother and I on our way to a doctor's appointment. Checking her pacemaker, now 10 years old. I always ask the Doc for an extra remote for it, hoping to get some work out of her by turning it up a couple of notches when needed. We need to get the garage painted...

The snow of yesterday's storm was soaked and solid from the rain-then-freezing conditions. Notice my boot is on top of the frozen surface, without sinking in at all.

This is the last day wearing my Black Sheep Hat Works "Shake Down" before sending it back to Bob for a little TLC. ANOTHER favorite hat!! Mom is wearing a hat with bragging rights; a clearance item originally $40.00, for which she paid $4.00. That's MY Mom!!!

Love that, hRm and your mother is cute as a button. You keep your big fingers off her pace maker settings and send her out here to California! She can sit on the porch with her feet up and read the paper and listen to the radio. It was 82 yesterday. We'll send her back when your weather is more hospitable.

Look forward to tomorrow, bright and sunny....silverbelly weather!

I almost wore the VS Silvermist, but went with the Gannon Black Cherry this morning.

That may have been a mistake.... we may not see sun again until June!

 

[FedOregon]

Thanks Red. Late 1930s maybe?

Drool!!! It just keeps getting better and better, Bob! Sweet purchase!

 

[FedOregon]

Gotta love poorly written and photographed listings, Red [emoji1]

Today a well travelled Borsalino (after spending time with Lounger rabbit in Germany) - I'm not liking these dark mornings!

Cheers!
David

Just wonderful, David. What a treasure!

 

[FedOregon]

Lovely morning to all. Vtg. Stetson Vogue is my hat choice this morning.

Best, Eric -

I love that one. The dark moss color is fantastic.

I'm saving my bold green A. Breiter Trachtenhut for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow... and maybe the Penman dark moss "The Penman" too.

Wow, Michael! Another great hat AND a killer suit!

I'll borrow a recent descriptor from Moon: Superb!"

I know I'm being repetitive but so is the weather! 80's again today so still rockin' the Retro:

It was your hat that I was basing my initial dating estimate on as it appears to be a clone.

Drool!!! It just keeps getting better and better, Bob! Sweet purchase!

Thanks Doug. I'm lovin' it so far and have received a few "nice hat" comments from co-workers. This thing is like buttah...

Fantastic ensemble. I really like that Biltmore, great finish and color!

Great look! The finish shows up in the close up, sweeeeet! Contrasting ribbon? Something to highlight that finish will be nice. Is there a green tint to this hat?

Thanks Red. None of the photos show the sheen of that I see in person. The current ribbon needs tightening, if nothing else, but I am thinking of putting in an order somewhere for ribbon as I have several hats now that could use a change. I think the green is primarily an artifact, it's pure silver gray in the sunlight. But looking against the grain, or indoors it can have a bit of a green tint.

Wow, Michael! Another great hat AND a killer suit!

Thanks Doug. The suit is a Faconnable. Old enough to be designed by the original designers, but too new to have been made in France. It was made in Italy. The only one I have that has the waistcoat with lapels.

Fantastic ensemble. I really like that Biltmore, great finish and color!

Thanks Roger. I like this suit a lot. The hat I think I'll come to like a lot once I get the minor kinks worked out.

Thanks all,
Michael

Looks cool Bob. I knew you had one or more of these Biltmores. Where does it have the model name? My tag has only Eleganza and that is also what's on the liner tip. How wide is the brim on the one you are wearing today?

Thanks,
Michael
