Back from a work trip this afternoon. Air travel in the pandemic is complicated. I traveled with caps.

Out for a walkabout after a spot of dinner in a 30's Borsolino.

I really need to see if I can smooth out that deerskin band one of these days.

Have a good Sunday,

I like it Michael. Really like the flat brim on that one.

Nora - Hüte Wien, possibly l960s. The Velour is really nice so might have been made from old stock. I replaced the sweatband.

Gorgeous velour, Steve. It's the felt that counts.
Went today for the vaccine and wore this Borsalino. Wore it and some hiking boots, you know in case I croaked or something, die with my boots and hat on sort of thing. Did not have bad reaction. Failed to get a photo of me with the Borso on today. Afterward we went and ate Thai food. I did take a long nap in the afternoon. My arm is sore tonight and I have not gotten to sleep so I am posting this riveting account of my day. Also of course surfing the interweb looking at hats and drinking a chocolate ale. I told you this was riveting. :)

Croaking with a Borsalino on would get you admitted to heaven no questions asked!

Since we stayed the night in a hotel, day two of Etsuko’s birthday celebrations featured the same hats, coats & shoes.

How many birthday presents does one woman need!?

Meanwhile, I’m still in the Hornskov (but loving it).

How many birthday presents? That's a trick question isn't it? Really like that Hornskov, Gary.

That's a beauty, Bob.

Looking good in Brown. I see y'all still have snow. I saw the first carpenter Bee's today. That means its spring here. Just as reliable as that groundhog.
Thanks ET! 45° today, 14° forecast for tomorrow. Typical crazy New England weather. We usually get snow through March.

Steur, those homburgs are magnificent, definitely the lawyer: Steur QC.

The high on the 23rd is probably coincidental, but I like to think that it had something to do with my birthday and my personal warmth. Then again, my Mom (again) reminded me that it started snowing the day I was born and we had snow on the ground for over three weeks.
For a minute I read that as the 25th, not the 23rd. You nearly share a birthday with my lady, Tina.

Looks good on you Dave. Good job on the brim & crease!
There you are Jack, what do you know about this?

Very nice, Michael. Looks NOS.
Pretty close to NOS, Stefan. It has the slightest indentation in the top like it might have been stored on the crown at one time and the sweat is a bit dry. I gave it some conditioner and will give it another feeding in a few days.

One advantage of no-themed hat wearing is that you can pick any hat that takes your fancy. Here are a couple.

That 3X is great, Stefan. Don't seem to see many 3X homburgs around here.

I like it Michael. Really like the flat brim on that one.
Thanks ET. I like it too, though it's is in need of a little reflattening one of these days. I tried it open crown for awhile as it has the old Boss profile, but could never get the traces of the cattleman it came with to disappear. i really liked it open.

Thanks,
Michael
