The wind may be coming up and if I leave the confines of my yard I may have to find a good warm cap to wear.

Way to keep it furry and warm Michael. Love the color of that overcoat.

Prepping for the storm in an Art Fawcett felt made in "dove." It sports a 2-5/8" non-dimensional brim.

Cool looking old Whippet Robert. Love it a whole bunch.

Thank you kindly, Mike! I know we're supposed to hate the cold as we get old, but it's not happening for me... yet.
This morning it was so cold in our town that the local flasher was only giving a description!

My hats tips towards all the brave folks wearing hats in the continued cold weather. A wool cap for me today.

Thanks for sharing. Stay cozy.

Best, Eric -

LOL!
I think I found one of the few colors a green hat won't go with. In my defense, when I found the shirt thrifting yesterday it looked grey and black to my bad eyes. It wasn't till I saw it in the pics that I realized it's purple...

That should keep you warm while still looking cool, Michael.

Thanks steur. Keeping warm has moved up the priority list lately.

Great outfit, Michael. Longhairs are perfect for winter.

Thanks again steur. It would be truly perfect if it had furry earflaps.

Way to keep it furry and warm Michael. Love the color of that overcoat.

Thanks Red. The coat dates to between 1939 and 1949.

Thanks DOGMAN. Wish I had a few more long hairs. Especially with the way this winter is going now.

Thanks all,
Michael

OK, decided to go with this Mossant bowler, as the previous color combo reminded me of some really bad tie-dye I saw once. And cannot ever unsee.

More praise for the Jiffy steamer...this is the heaviest and stiffest bowler I have. It had lots of...errm...character beaten into the crown. I got out some of the big dents but lots of little ones remained where the sides of the crown curved over into the top. Previous steamers I owned had little effect on the thick felt. 5 seconds in this turbo steam jet softened it enough to work out all but the tiniest of microdents and nanolumps. Big improvement!
Have a great day!

Had no intention of leaving Casa de Bama today in light of the frigid weather but a late afternoon beer count indicated otherwise. Dorer bar 50 went along to keep my head warm.

Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau" probably late 1950s and recent arrival.

Have a wonderful day

That's one of my favorite of yours Richard. Beautious.

Nice! The liner, like the owner, is askew.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks, Jim. I'm not askew, I'm cattywampus.

Wicked Twenty-Five on your head today. Crease... superlative.

Super hat....but that liner in crooked is making me crazy....Hope you know I'm kidding...I think,no.I am

Thanks. Interestingly, when it came to me the liner was perfectly straight. I sent it off to have it professionally crazified.

Sweet Stetsonian Matt.


Sharp Bob.


Dandy Dobbs Richard.

Thanks Perry.

Classic looking Stetson there Matt. The color is just right. You have been promising snow for a few days now...time to produce!

Thanks Mike.

All is in order for the snow. We are under a blizzard warning with the possibility of up to a foot of snow. I don't recall ever having a blizzard warning since I have been here. People are completely freaked out. It's fun to watch. Almost time for a top down drive now.

That's a wonderful example of the Vita Felt Process, Matt!

Thanks Robert. I'm offended by your Whippet. Such a marvelous hat...

I really dig that hat. Does "non-dimensional" mean the same thing as "telescopic" in hat nomenclature?

Be safe in the storm. It's gonna be bonkers up there from what I've seen.

Beautiful, Matt!

Thanks Stefan.

Based on the forecast and complete lack of resources to cope with winter storms here, I am assuming that work will not happen tomorrow. So I'm treating tonight as a mid-week Friday and going out to chill with some coffee, WWII history and a Knox Madison Avenue.

Have happy times, everyone.

Thanks Fruno!
Shirt is a Versace.
Hat date is from some sleuthifying and deductualization.
Maple leaf in the crest, post '52.
No O.P.S. sticker, latter half of '53 and on.
According to Jimmy the Lid's dating by price thread, Royals went from $10.50 to $10.95 in '56. From that I inferred that in '55, they were $10.50. Mine has a price of $10, so my date of ca.1954 gives me a half year wiggle room on both ends.
Elementary.

Beautiful reminder that I need to find a 40s Whippet.
