Getting warm in Texas. Shantung OR for me this fine afternoon.

It's best I bite my
tongue. It was a fire sale?
Thats sad. Health issues or something?

Well, I don't see where you posted anything out of line.

Nothing sad, no health issues, he just decided it was time.

Thanks Stefan. The felt is soft and likes to do what it wants to. I more or less leave it at that. Seems to work. You had a great bunch of hats on show yesterday. Actually, a couple of great bunches of hats.

Thanks Steve. I got the easier parts of the tree taken apart. Now I'm down to the have to think before acting part.

Had a bit of thunder earlier and then it dried up. Marathon

So I'm back in the house.
Have a great Saturday,

Thanks, Michael. And please keep that Marathon safe!

Today.....i’m showcasing this, too small for me RD OR in a color i don’t think i’ve ever seen before. If it fit i’d never let it go but it’s destined for someone who can appreciate it more so bye bye.
I’ve always admired the felt and especially the color of it and today i realized why. This hat felt and color is the spitting image of a Borsalino Featherweight in the color Bismuto that i enjoy so much. Last pic shows both together.
Be well. Bowen

Very nice hats both, Bowen. Bismuto is a great colour.

whoaaa. So I'm sure there are differences and I of course have many black leather jackets and many blue denim jeans, but how do you chose which one you want to wear? What's the deciding factor? I'm curious

I have the Borsolino in my place, I'm going to try it with different outfits this weekend to see

I always have six to eight different hats out of the collection in rotation to wear and may try on a few to see which one fits the rest of the outfit best. Not all of the similar hats like those grey homburgs are in the rotation at the same time. After a month or so the current rotation makes way for a new bunch of hats. Favourites come and go.

Yesterday this Borsalino Ludoela forced itself upon my head. Seemed to belong there.

Our good friend and fellow lounger Mike @Redfokker sends his regards to all of you. His work for the theatre but especially his back problems are keeping him away from the lounge at the moment. He is looking forward to returning soon. I have this pic of him wearing his bowler, which he uses as a stagehand at the theatre.

Thanks for the update on Mike. I realized how long it’s been and I sent him a PM a couple days ago but never heard from him. Back problems are terrible, but it’s good to know it’s not something worse.

Okay. I'm not sure why it prompted a fire sale, but I wasn't there. I'm sorry about the foot on the throat crack, which didn't come off in the jocular way I intended. I hope we can start afresh.

OR is definitely your style! Looks great.

Again, no apologies necessary. I understood the remark to be humorous, and took it as such.

And believe me, moonie can take a little abuse without too much damage.

BGCD today. These really are great hats.

Thank you sir and it's good to post again. I just got busy and you know how that goes doing all that grown up stuff and forgetting your true joys!

An Open Road and AO aviators - I lurk and never post - damn brother, I appreciate your style.

I've been wear AO aviators since I was in high school. I think this pair is 12 + years old. They are an unbeatable quality and were a great value at around $50 a pair. I was looking into some polarized lenses and apparently they have doubled in price for the regular lenses and are around $130-$150 for polarized.

Yes. Yes they are.

Today's hat, a Knox Premier, is dedicated to Stefan.

Because it's GREEN.

I bet you didn't put up any resistance as the Ludoela forced itself on your head, Stefan [emoji4]. Really suits you.
Sorry to hear about Mike's back. Hope he gets better soon and is able to start posting again.

I think it appreciated the bath. And I didn't wear it while I was chopping up tree parts.

That one is a real beauty. Super choice.

Today it's a Champ Kasmir finish.

Thanks! I spent time redoing the bash this week, so your compliment is much appreciated.

Yes, very nice, indeed. Perhaps more pictures and dimensions in the 'I Love the Fed IV' thread?

Finally bustin' out the straws.

PB Milan "Tankersley." The second one made. Wheedled this off moonie during the purge.

That is a beautiful straw, Jim. I didn't get any of Anthony's straws, only felts. There weren't any left. I know that Bill bought at least one I now envy.

Very nice. A purge is one of the best times to hold your foot on someone's throat. ;-)

I have a hard time picturing someone being able to hold his foot on Anthony's throat.
