Happy New Year, Loungers!
I saw the New Year in in my bowler at home with Etsuko.

New Year’s is not party time in Japan. More like Christmas - a time for family. The flower arrangements are by Etsuko. The flower is called habotan - an ornamental kale that is a traditional New Year’s flower in Japan.

Etsuko wore a beanie, so wasn’t up for being photographed.
We needed the exercise after our traditional Japanese New Year’s Day “breakfast”. It lasted until after midday and we skipped dinner as well. Etsuko puts on a good spread when she puts her mind to it.

We started in the morning with Fuku Beer - a celebratory beer that one of our favourite breweries puts out every year for New Year’s…

We don’t drink it very often other than New Year’s Day, but this one from Niigata was very nice.

Happy New Year folks.

New Years eve was low key at my house as my wife has been on the mend, having Covid for the past 5 days. Yesterday with her appetite returning and energy up our festivities ended before 10:00 pm. I was out handling chores and snow removal in a Gannon during the day.

The temps dropped all day. This morning it has warmed up to -11f' (-24'c). No hats worn early morning. I wore a Cordova cap with a warm wool coat for my dog soirre.

I wore a Gannon (bluemist beaver felt inspired by the Stetson Playboy) for a brief jaunt around the property sipping coffee. Back under a cap with ear flaps for continued outside efforts.

Two great Gannons, though it looks more like weather for caps with ear flaps.
Hope your wife recovers soon.

A leading and trailing frayed bow edge seemed fitting for Janus, Roman god of time, duality, and transitions. One eye with an appreciation and respect for the past, but also an understanding and acceptance that the future will be different. Change, evolve, grow...or don't. Cling to a past that doesn't reflect reality and become obsolete.

Happy New Years all!

Knox Tall Bowler
Approx 5 1/4 Crown
Dimensional brim 2 inch front 1 5/8 sides
1 inch grosgrain ribbon

Although “double vaxed and boosted” and through a few close calls… I thought I might make it through the holiday season without a new HAS infection… alas it appears I have a breakthrough case just in time to celebrate the new year. This tall Knox derby with dimensional brim creates a bit of a different profile. It sports an Approximately 5 1/4 crown and brim measuring 2 inches to the front and 1 5/8 on the sides to the tight D’Orsay curl.

I’m not quite sure on the dating… but I imagine this type of Knox tag would put it pre HCA merger.

Not today, but for a winter hike on Christmas Day:
1930s Henry Heath Homburg in black

The snow was even enough for a sled ride

Fantastic, Matt. Hat, coat and scarf (I think I have the same one!) all excellent. Nice photos as well.

New to me and today just for homeoffice:
Italian made "Tiger Hat" Homburg in purple-gray
42728566it.jpg

42728565rb.jpg
And another beautiful homburg. That has some presence. Panos knows how to find them!

Another busy day of cleaning in and around the house. Our reward was Thai food. We both wore Hornskovs. Etsuko in her camel Author…

I was once again in the Rancher I got for Christmas. I was planning to wear something different, but in the end, the Rancher seemed to work best with my outfit.

Both great hats, Gary.

Can't go wrong with that, Joe. Classic.

That's a commanding hat, Perry. I like the woop of that brim.

Looking good, Gary!

Yesterday was a dress down day at work, no uniforms for the Command Staff. I topped off my outfit with my Carbon Grey Stylemaster. I also let our youngest tag along with me and we snapped some pictures of each other. A wonderful way to end 2021.
