Randall has recently moved to Texas. His forwarding address is...

Hmm, I've noticed he's recently had some tempting 1/8's shipping from Texas. Central Texas, if I'm not mistaken.

Love the color

Thanks! It’s a great shade.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Super cool—love that subtle brim treatment.

Thanks, David!
Was thinking I might should’ve added another row. But it is different.

Y’all are gonna cause some folks to be confused.

Hmmm.

Always wanted to live in Texas anyway.
Do y’all have a state tax? Motorcycle Helmet law? High electric bills?

You mean Texas, Australia? It's a bit remote.

Strat. @alanfgag did you spend any time in this place?

Luxor. Is this German? Somewhere I recall Scandinavian, but not sure. View attachment 595931 View attachment 595932 View attachment 595933 View attachment 595934 View attachment 595935

If you click on the link below you'll find an interesting discussion between Matt and Stefan about Luxor and its origins.

However, it looks to me like it says Luxus on the liner of your hat and not Luxor. The coat of arms is different to the Luxor one, too.

A long ago size 7 upsized Champ in pearl gray.
Because it’s my most favorite color it is definitely a favorite fedora. Maybe that tan Vogue that’s on its way might change my mind.

Well that is a blast from the past. If you are standing on the corner of 78th St. and 37th Ave., yep that is my old stomping ground. That's my first alma mater across the street. And I lived my first ten years in the Berkeley apartment building around the corner on 77th. There were no pull down gates on the stores then and the grocers and barbers were all of Italian descent and the Cadillacs had big fins. Thanks for sharing what it looks like today. It's been a number of years since I've been back. Nice blue Stratoliner too.

I thought you might have gone to PS 69. I’d love to be able to take a tour of JH back then. Give a shout of you’re ever coming through…

Texas, West Virginia, Tucker County.
Kinda rural but guaranteed sunshine pumped in…just during the daytime.

That is so crisp, Randall.

Stevens Pacesetter California Royalist with cool and funky spotted back bow ribbon that was well loved… by the moths. Lots of character on this one.

Thanks. Jackson Heights probably hasn't changed much as the housing/commercial buildings were good quality and densely spaced. We moved from an apartment house to a private house on 75th St. in 1963. The security necessity of metal gates came through after I left for college. Walking around the neighborhood at night you could look in all the store windows. But I hear Jahn's is still there, which is a blessing. ;^)

Hey all!
I'm not sure if I want to call this one Fozzy Fosbert, or Il Rospo.




Thoughts?
Have a great day!

Easy to see why it's the favorite; that is an AMAZINGLY gorgeous color.
