What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Strolling by the Supreme Court building after lunch in my blue smoke Royal Stetson.

Wearing my 7X Quality Western Thin ribbon conversion this a.m.

Finally laid my Mom's ashes to rest last week. Dementia finally got the best of her, but even through all of that people were surprised that she retained her sharp wit and her sense of humor. This was her at around 19 or 20 years old...

This was my Mom's Mother, (my actual Grandmother), who she never knew. My Mom's mother was "Miss Columbus", (Ohio), sometime before 1936. This newspaper clipping is one of two pictures that we have of her. She died in the hospital shortly after giving birth to my Mom...

and this is me from the late '70s, (probably around 24 at the time), and I'm hatless!

Super conversion as always Terry.
Thank you for sharing your story about your mom and grandmother. I'm sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace and live on in your heart.

Can ... should? ... dunno.

Bob, you have to complete the look.

Add a stocking cap & you're good to go.

Sorry to hear of her passing, Terry. Keep those memories close.

Lovely ladies your mom and grandmom. And you remind me of a young Patrick Swayze.

Thank you for sharing, Terry. It helps to keep hats in perspective. I lost my mother to dementia too. Your mother and grandmother were beautiful women; more importantly, your mother raised a child into a good man and that speaks volumes.

When someone makes it that easy I wouldn’t expect you to miss the opportunity.

I can’t tell you how many women that I’d never met before introduced themselves by running their fingers through my hair.

Truer words... I used to spend my time at HS parties having girls ask if they could brush my hair. Life was good.

Still warmer today, so I de-mothballed the unlined Dalton.

Maybe it was originally bought by potato-headed Bobby?

Thank you Brent. I appreciate that. Sorry it happened to your Mom, too. I'm sure she would have been proud of the way you turned out. My wife's Mom is going through the same right now and we don't believe she'll last the year, maybe sooner. Like my Mom did, hers is suffering from "Sundowners". My Mom decided she was going to sit down one and decided she wasn't going to get up.

Thank you Perry. Ha! I'll take Patrick Swayze!

Thank you HJ. I definitely have the memories. I'm also glad that I took a good deal of videos of her.

Sorry for your loss Terry. They sound (and look) like a couple of amazing women.

I'm more than fine with that hat. Nice block work!

Thanks. It's coming along. I have three different prototypes in the works.
Do you have a suplier for these hats? Mine was one of those lucky thrift store finds.
