I remember the last time I met my best friend in Paris... We ended up getting engaged =)

all black today. c.1920s Schwarz. had to force a happy look, mourning a tragic loss of my father in law yesterday. Hug your significant others, children, siblings, pets for me on this day. Give all the love you can, because in the end, that is all we have

Condolences from California, my friend.

Running errands today in a 50s Stetson No 1 Quality. More pics in the “Conversion Corral” thread. This used to have a 1/8” ribbon. Now it has a vintage 1 3/8” burgundy ribbon.

Great convo Bill.

Brown early 60s Cavanagh.

Just like the one I wore today. What color is it? My Cav is "Onyx". Kind of a dark coffee color.

Love it, as much as I like thin ribbons, this one is a great conversion. Looks really good Bill.

Vietnam Vet? Thanks for serving. The "Dick" couldn't resign fast enuff. Saw that resignation as well. Pulled a 350+ something in the draft lottery my HS senior year so I didn't have any worries and could still be a kid for a few years.

Actually, I spent my whole time in at Elmendorf AFB, fighting the cold war.

Awesome Harv and Esther!

I was right there just a little over a year ago. Great town to wander around in.

Another week, another WEDDING! Yup, down in Anthony's (@moontheloon) neck of the woods, sort of. This time a black tie affair, NO option! Fine, as long as one of my selection of tuxes fits (they shrink, and grow over time I have found...). My first, and favorite tuxedo has earned its keep, having been worn to several weddings, including my sister-in-law's colossal, three-ringed extravaganza 30 years ago. Where did I get this great garment? It was the very one my father wore to his indoctrination into the Masons in 1946. Yes, I have gotten Dad's father's money's worth out of this one!

Hat: 1952 Stetson St. Regis. Perfect!!

Oh, yes! They also had an attended coat/hat check room. The young gal was so completely clueless about what to do with a hat that when I suggested she slide the ticket behind the ribbon she misunderstood, and attempted to force the F-ing COAT HANGER into it. I saved it, and gently educated her for the next hat under her care.

I feel your pain! I am always educating hat check people on the proper way to store a hat. I have had a few smashed up through the years. That St. Regis is perfect with your Tux. Looking good Hats!

 

[Dlaniger]

Hey folks!
Many thanks for the likes and kind words on my recent posts.
Rounding out my selection of brown Homburgs (and 'burg-like others) is this freshly re-flanged Borden from the 50's, I believe, maybe earlier.

Good one of the brim

Off to dodge the raindrops!
Have a great day!

Wow thats a really really nice homburg. The full crown and brim give that hat bold look.

My Honey was downtown for Market Day on Saturday and found this Resistol XXX Beaver hat in Seaweed color. The lady sold it to her for $15 which was the original price as marked inside the hat.

So sorry for your loss Justin, my thoughts will be with you and your family

I was just young enough that the war was over by my enlistment in the USAF. Just barely... I sat and watched Nixon resign and 10 minutes later I was being sworn into the military.

MIke, the idea of watching a President resign just before being sworn into the military says something about the absurdity of those times. I enlisted a few years before that, did my 4 years, took a European out and didn't come home for 5 years because I wasn't sure what home was anymore. Looking back over those 50 years though, I don't think it was any harder for us than for the kids who followed us. Cormac McCarthy got it wrong; this is no country for young men (or women.)

Great hat and Jacket.

Thanks D. Great look for you today with the Benchley and that killer tie.
