Happy fall back day. What to do with that "extra" hour? I think I'll take a nap.

Hailing from The Land of Cleves, today's hat is a 1950s Mallory Fifteen.

Daylight Savings Time, the only government program where you get back what they took from you.

It takes time for me to adjust to Daylight Savings time. Today's "gain an Hour" found me rising at the old 5:00am, new 4:00am. Wowzers that is too early. Dog walk and a trip to a hardware store had me wearing a steel gray Gannon. The felt hue matches today's gray skies.

Best, Eric -

Wearing the Chapeaux Moderns out today. It gets too little head time.

The extra hour allowed me to pop this post, pardners!
A wise man (or was it a wise guy, @Redfokker?) once said, “embrace the stingy!”
So, channeling my inner Don Draper, a circa 1965 Knox Madison Avenue...

Have a great Sunday,

Love that suede jacket and those pants, Michael. Your Dobbs certainly deserves that great ensemble.

Nice diamond crease on it, too.

Thanks Steve. The suede jacket just came yesterday from a trade with Gamma68. It's a Lawrence from the 50s. The pants are 60s Brooks Brothers.

Randy, you've done with that Bowler what everyone should do with any hat: own it. I know you were apprehensive about wearing one, but now you've proved that you need another or two [emoji4]. Cudos!

+1, you look great in them !!

Ahh, Saturday. Nice. Gonna do some cleaning and organizing of my tool trailer and wear this hat while doing it. This is a special fedora for me as it was given from a brother-in-law whose grandfather owned it and wore it often. This is the first fedora I ever acquired where I know what the sweat band initials stand for: Charles A. Adkins
My brother-in-law asked his Grampy what the A stood for for his middle name. He answered, “WhenI joined the Army during the war they asked for a middle name initial and I didn’t have a middle name. They said I had to have one and told me to come up with one so they could record it. the letter A became my choice because it was the first letter of the alphabet and the first to come to mind. So the answer to your question, son, it doesn’t stand for anything. Except maybe it stands for: the Army.”
I could spruce up this sixties Dobbs westward some and have a better looking hat and that’s what my brother-in-law expected me to do, cause he knows I love the hats I own, but I’m going to leave it as is and just add more wear and tear to it along and along. It makes Charles the third happy to know I’ll be wearing it while working as that’s what his Grampy had done with all his fedoras.
Y’all have a blessed day.

Very cool story ! It’s always nice to have Provenance on a vintage hat.

From last nights little Oktoberfest in Walburg, TX after my little road trip. Always nice to get out of the rat race of DFW and head out to the boonies. My cheapo Oktoberfest hat finally bit the dust, so just brought the Stetson 7XCB till I find a nice German or Austrian hat.

Great vintage menswear, Michael. Re-use is good use both for the environment and sartorial elegance [emoji4]

The dimensions of that super looking Stetson 7X suit the dimensions of that Oktoberfest beer glass much better than a Tyrol hat would H [emoji4]

One of the nicest Pilgrims I’ve seen, John.

you’re looking rather svelte these days; hope it’s by choice.

Thanks Brent!
I'm at my usual weight. Fish must have a slimming effect. Especially without tartar sauce.

 

[moehawk]

Good choice.



Great hat. Hope you feel better soon.



Or John Wayne's birthday.

I'll have to remember that one.

Wearing my Bee Hats Fedora this evening. There's something truly film noir about an American Fedora. $6.50 got you a lot of hat back in the day.
