Another wonderful snow day in my Adventurebilt. I have a feeling the weatherman has lied and it’s not going anywhere until April.

I have given up on denim for now and broke out my Wested.

Sheesh. Snow already? Move to Mexico City. Last time it snowed here I was nine years old. Big event, nobody went to work. It had all melted by 10.30 am. I remember I was shocked to learn that a snowball impact to the face actually hurts, and so did my little brother, to his cost. [emoji3] It looked so fun in the movies.

Thanks, Michael. Nice Whippet and great outfit for you today.
Thanks Stefan. It was a day of many hats and outfits by the end.

OK, the hat and cap are nice, but man, that coat! Awesome! :)
Thanks Moe. The coat is a Zero King. So it was made in West St Paul, Mn. I'm guessing early 50s manufacture. Wool gabardine with alpaca pile lining and mouton collar. Your homburg today was really magnificent. Monster hat.

I like the cap best. You are good at it.

Thanks Max. Maybe I'll get around to making a few more this winter. Super looking Leisure Light for you today. Really a nice shape on that one.

Thanks all,
Michael

Royal Stetson refurbed by Bob Jesse at BSHW. Love the velvety, taupe felt on this. Almost floppy it's so soft, but holds the crease with steam. Kind of a dark red-ish brown/burgundy ribbon and a champagne colored brim binding. This one came to me all wonky and super dirty. Bob did a great job cleaning this (twice! because it so dirty), blocking it and reattaching the sweat and ribbons.

My first Royal Stetson, and part of the inspiration for my Natural/Slate custom from Michael Gannon, I don't think I'll ever let it go.

Paired with a moss green fleece jacket, the taupe felt shows off it's compatibility with a wide range of colors. Pleasing to the eye where the silverbelly/old copper I picked out originally this morning just didn't work for me.

It's easy to see why this is a favorite Doug. It's a beauty.

This hat was made in Monza a few years ago by S.C.M. Let's say thirty, maybe more

Marked "Superiore" like others in my collection, it has the following indications in the inside sweatband "Qualità superiore pesco" "Colore :Blu" On the sweatband "Lepre Garantita"

The felt is of a deep blue and the surface has a "peachy" touch

The dimensions are generous with the crown of medium height

Finished in an exemplary manner is a product of the high quality Monza hats

I like blue hats and this one has a very "special shade of blue
Let's say many thanks for the likes and appreciation on the "Charles Hatters" in Talpa lustee short hair finish

For whatever reason, I often gravitate towards this Pilgrim when fowl weather is coming.

Today it joins me as I await tropical storm Michael.

Happy Thursday.

Mike, the tropical storm, also has me thinking about the odyssey of Mike the headless chicken. Such a grand, hopeful story of transcending a somewhat difficult loss and the indomitable spirit of one Colorado chicken.

Hey, I've read that Pilgrims are a mix of hare and rabbit. I bought a hat with such a mix, and to me the felt was a little rough and did not want to obey instructions.
How is a Pilgrim's felt? I have been thinking of buying one, just to know I have one. Are they worth it? Wouldn't a hare/rabbit mix felt get wonky if it got wet?

I hope the aftermath of this traveling storm is not too devastating. You be sure to protect that wonderful hat in those hurricane winds. Yes we all are like Mike most of the time.
