What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Today I wore the ultralite Parkway. The softest, lightest, most malleable felt I own or have owned.

Unfortunately, even that could not cheer me up.
I woke up yesterday to a text from my brother in law that he had called the ambulance after not being able to wake my younger sister at 3 AM, and that she was admitted to the hospital from the ER. She left work last Tuesday because of severe headaches which persisted unabated into Wednesday, when she scheduled an appt. with a family practice, which was a new one because of a job and insurance change.
At the Thursday morning visit the doctor said it was a viral infection which would have to run its course, prescribing narcotic cough syrup to help her sleep. Jim had driven her there, so took her home and went to work. When he got home she was sleeping. He thought that was good. She needed the rest. Friday morning she was sleeping soundly and he left her undisturbed, going to work.
Friday evening she was sound asleep when he got home and he became concerned. He called the doctor and was assured everything was fine. Give it a couple more days.
At 3 AM noticced her breathing was very shallow so got up, checked phone and laptop, and the cough syrup. She'd had one dose of the latter, and no communication with anyone since 2 PM Thursday. She wouldnt wake up.
She was in a coma, and may have been since Thursday. By 10 AM the diagnosis was confirmed as meningitis and her blood pressure was dropping. Platelets in her IV feed stanalized the blood pressure, and we at the hospital relaxed a little, while we updated relatives around the country.
In the evening her eyes were found to be dilating, indicating swelling of the brain. We were told she migjt not make it through the night
A vigil of prayer followed, and when her vtals remained unchanged in the morning, we sighed in relief, however when the attending doctor arrived at 8 AM and examined her we learned the brain swelling was undiminished. She would prbably not revive from the coma . If she did, it would be with significant brain damage.
I'm home now for a shower and power nap, but will then return to the hospital where we will admit her to hospice.
Prayets for my family from any loungers who talk with with the Man Upstairs would be very welcome.

Tall, svelte, well-dressed, and debonair. Not fair, is it? At least he’s mean and a complete jerk.

Yeah. You can't have everything, but apparently he does. [emoji34]

I agree. After being out and about most of the day and wearing both ways I'm leaning towards brims up too. I can't explain it but it just seems right.



Thanks, Michael! The hat definitely is a looker.

Sorry, I thought you were in MN for some reason. I found two greys in my yard yesterday when I was cutting the grass. Nearly mowed them over. The wife would not have been happy. I don't eat them, but I love getting out into the woods and hunting them. Wish I had your moxie to wear something vintage into the woods. Instead I wear a, gasp, camo baseball cap.



Thanks, Doc! Definitely got lucky on this one. I may have giggled when I first opened the box and saw the color. Now I only need about 99 more to maybe join you in the big leagues.



Thanks! It definitely is in a class of its own given the finish and coloration. Of course, considering my collection is so small that's not really saying much.

I am originally from MN. What part of the Great Lakes are you at?

Still a very nice find, Michael. That one deserves a new sweatband.

Thanks Stefan. I think I have a good solid sweat that will fit this pretty well.

Yesterday was nice enough for the Borsalino Ludoela in Ghiaccio.

Michael, have you been doing a bit of illicit moonlight modelling in Scotland? You really should get a work permit you know. My how you look the part.

I could go for a little trip to Scotland. I think I have a cap very much like the one he's wearing. Thanks.

Have a prayer from me my friend, I was lucky to get great treatment fast when I had meningitis, and came through with no lasting side effects, I hope that the same happens for your sister.

Hello folks, in the garden again with a nice cuppa and a Dobbs straw hat of some description.

Anyone know the name of this hat?

I just call him Brian at the moment [emoji854]

Oh, that's "Porky" ... last name "Pie"
Is that a special cup to protect your mustache from coffee stains?

You are correct sir, the cup is to provide a barrier between Tea and ‘tache.

Donning my Stratton conversion under a yellow bug light for a different effect. The brighter light was attracting too many beetles to the front porch. Anyway, the yellow light did the trick. No beetles or other bugs to contend with when I want to sit on my front porch in the evening.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

A Vintage Silhouete morning at my house. A dove gray Strat inspired fedora was a perfect dog walk hat. The dove gray felt is a fav.

An Art-lite Wanderer inspired fedora in silverbelly was worn to rake up a couple fallen limbs and their branches.

Best, Eric -

An every day Stetson Monday for me, mates. This lid seems to remind lots of people of a father, grandfather, uncle, or some man in their lives long ago.

It was bound to happen again in this new thread and I think @bowlerman started it, but I knew Chas (@hatsRme ) would be involved somehow. Note the page number...

You could call that hat lots of things: Milan, stingy, pork pie....

I’m a big fan of Milan hats in the summer and you wear yours well.
