Stately crown on this one Daniele. Love the background in your images today. You live in a beautiful place.
Thanks Mike. I'm on the "Garibaldi bridge" in the north part of Verona. One hundred meters from my office.
On the right side of the river bank you see the cathedral and the "Biblioteca Capitolare" with some of the oldest manuscripts in Italian vernacular, including the famous riddle of Verona:
Se pareba boves, alba pratàlia aràba
et albo versòrio teneba, et negro sèmen seminaba

Somewhere south of crazy
The Schnozzola would be proud!


Classic OR lines Harv. Very nice.


Love the color combo on this one Bob.


Grinch indeed. Love that long comfy sweater.


That is an impressive Huckel 101! Brim width to the max.


Nice looking Fed Jay. Stay warm.


That Resistor goes with Jim's Redi-Kilowatt persona. Love the color Richard.

Trying desperately to up the grooveliciousness today, but off to a questionable start. The first thing I did this morning when I got in was to spill hot sauce on my shirt. Then my coworker knocked over her coffee. Waiting for the next shoe to drop.

(sigh)

But I'm not discouraged. No siree Bob! Because I'm wearing this Knox Superfine brown heather - now with the added goodness of a @DOGMAN liner. Thanks, Chuck!

Venturing out into the freezing fog this morning in my new Scottish Homburg (Haggis-burg?). This older homburg comes from R W Forsythe Hatters in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Not much to go from on this one. A very generic mfg tag with just a block # and size (7 English, I assume). No marks on the reeded sweat with a taped rear seam (no bow). The union tag is a beauty, I'll have to research this one later today. I have been remiss in posting this one in the Homburg Nation. I think this may be on the rare side, at least the Haberdasher where it came from. Have not noticed many Scottish hats on the Lounge.

Nice 'burg! Do you hear bagpipes when you wear it?
If you decided to wear a kilt to match, thank you for not posting...:D

Another sunny and cold day before Christmas

Charles hatter's in black. Classic and imponent hat with brim at 6.5 cm. and crown at 12 cm. with matching ribbon

Interesting hat in black soft felt marked "Charles hatter's" with paper label very similar to Vanzina and Borsalino

They share with the Alessandria production the name of colors and the identation and same lettering

One of these days, cold permitting, I will do some research on the production "Charles hatter's" It could reveal some surprises

Spend a good Thursday, today is the winter solstice.
A huge thank you for the words yesterday for Borsalino and for likes, they were a good sign for the future of Italian hats production
Because sometimes it needs to be a black hat. Looks great, Daniele.

Have a fine Thursday wherever you are, Mrs Calabash

My friend, you are rockin' that look. You don't look like the hipsters pretending to be pre-war workmen, yours is a cool organic look. Even better than the "look" is that it is a practical outfit for real work.
