I’m standing in front of a 1952 Henry J. Corsair. This is the last car my father-in-law restored before he died several years ago. Until I married into the family I had never heard of the Kaiser-Frazer Automobile Company.

He had a dozzen or so vintage cars, but they were all Kaiser-Frazers and didn’t sell for as much as I had hoped for his wife. They were the “Champ” brand of cars looking to undercut the big players. My father-in-law worked at his father’s Kaiser-Frazer car dealership after The War. These cars were a big part of his life but none of his children wanted or had room for them...kind of like my hats when I’m gone.

Yes, that is what I started to think about as I read your post

Nothing to be sad about, Max. The “stuff” and possessions of life were never important. It’s all about people: love, family, kindness, and friendships: those are the things that make us wealthy and those are the things that moths don’t eat, rust doesn’t corrupt, and thieves can’t steal.

Long day finds me enjoying an evening walkabout in a Gannon (charcoal beaver felt with charcoal trimmings).

Cheers this evening, Eric -

I wore a Penny's Marathon (sage hued felt) fedora for a dog soirée.

Home after the frolic to relocate fallen leaves. Cheers, Eric -

In the meantime, thank you for your appreciation for the Panizza Royal Cloro color

We continue today with the "gray" theme in Italian headwear.
This time it's up to Barbisio to keep the name high with a magnificent product from the sixties.

The felt is called "Misto Cenere" and the type of finish is "Ratiné" (In the textile industry, a finishing operation that gives the fabrics, previously brushed with long hair, a surface strewn with knots or bows, or with transverse, longitudinal undulations , diagonals)

Felt has a certain stiffness in the overwelted brims and an excellent malleability in the crown.

Sunny and cool weather even in Italy.
Congratulations on the parade of hats shown yesterday.

I just wish my hats would stay in my family

Fedora creased the 5x Stetson today, the density of this felt takes every bash I’ve tried easily. It also lends to the best snap brim that I own, a marvelous hat.

Winter is when the big waves show up on the North Shore. I got tossed around pretty good swimming back to shore yesterday. Good fun.

Ohh yeah, when I lived on Maui we had some great breaks that collected those northern storm fronts that winter delivers. Miss that water, SoCal is slightly colder and murkier

Adopt me. I'm the right size, even.

Come on, Jim. We all know you’re going way before Max.

I find Stetson 5X hats from time to time, but they sure aren’t anything like yours! Who knew the felt quality was lower in the 1980s?
I’d love to find one myself someday, but until then I appreciate you sharing yours with us.

Marvelous indeed.

A bit of vitality for Tuesday... just what the doctor ordered.

Given my lifestyle, probably. But if he adopts me, maybe not. He should sleep with one eye open.

Great, following Alan again!

My pleasure, Brent. I have my 3 CBs ready to do a ‘side by side’ thread post, just trying to dial in my photography skills to properly show the subtle differences.

Great combo, Alan. Really dig those specs!
