Thanks, Jim. Working on it!

Today is the USMC birthday. So my "USMC Dress Blues" custom by Esther Weis was pulled into service for services.

Here’s a fedora that no one is ever going to be able to wear, but I will still proudly display it in my house and on here at the lounge. My 85 year old father proudly gave this to me today. It was his Dad’s hat.
A man who was one of the first Caucasian settlers in the grand Okeefenokee swamp located in southern Georgia not far from my house. It’s the biggest stand alone swamp in the US. My grandfather was one of the prohibition bootleggers who never got caught and continued making his moonshine up until his death at 76. I’m sure if this hat could talk, what stories it could tell! Though my Dad (his son)can tell some of the stories for it.
The man under this hat tirelessly worked his farm and plowed his fields behind the ass of a mule. He was short in stature and when teased he would answer by saying, “Plowing forty acres with a mule will cause anyone to wear their height from the bottom faster than they can grow it on top!”
My biggest memory of him was when I was a young snot I played in the corn crib with a few of his coon hounds and strew his stacked corn cobs all over the place. He whipped me and the dogs with a peach tree switch. He was of the old school sort who didn’t mind spanking his offspring, but I think it made him even more upset that I caused him to have to whip his dogs! [emoji38]
Has anyone here ever heard of this hat brand? Windsor Club. I haven’t. As you can clearly see, a 6 7/8 hat fits a little tight on me. The moths have done their work, but from now on this hat will be well taken care of.
Have a good evening, folks.

Great story and a hat with that history deserves a place of honor. There are several hats branded Windsor (has a nice classy English ring to it). Most of them of German manufacture. It's unclear if they were all the same brand of if Windsor was a free for all name to be used.

Start 'em young, right? I'm in my Grandfather's Stetson recently redone by Art Fawcett. My goofy boy is in a too-small-for-me John Wanamaker he's claimed. Little guy is learning to love caps.

Cool hat and story. Both my grandfather's were hat wearing men and I sure would love it if I had one of their old ones to hang at my house. I don't know what ever happened to any of them.

Dinner at the club with Ana, Sabrina, and her boyfriend Diego. The kid is an American Football player, and I try not to hold it against him without success. We live in Mexico, dammit! He should play soccer like normal people. [emoji4]

Thanks,guys, for the likes and your comments. This forum is special and you guys are the best!
Enjoy Veterans Day tomorrow. I was never involved in a conflict while serving seven years in the Air Force, so I’m thankful to those brave men who were not as fortunate.

Great story @Randall Renshaw and fantastic family photo @RetroStyle. You should share those hats in this old thread that needs a bump.
