Thanksgiving isn't a holiday in Mexico, so we celebrate it on Friday, not Thursday.
Here I am with my new fave, my Optimo Nashville at my brother's.
He's a pretty good cook, and has my mother's recipe books. View attachment 198244 View attachment 198245 View attachment 198246 View attachment 198247 View attachment 198248

Mi mamá era de Wisconsin, y siempre cocinaba para thanksgiving, pero como crecí en México, para mí significa una cena rica y nada más. Mi familia es muy unida de todas formas, y nos vemos muy seguido.[emoji4]

I sure like pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing. I don't get to eat them often enough. I miss them, Chicago Italian beef sandwiches, and Gino's East pizza, the best in the universe.

Today's family vacation was a day for visiting and games. I'm not much of a game player so I just hover. Temperatures in northern Washington were 16 degrees over night and a high of 32. Perfect weather for my Borsalino "Angora" from the early 1950s. The color is misto grigio, love how this Italian maker names the color of their hats. This hat was sold in Chicago and has the O.P.S. price controls tag of which places it between 1950 and 1953. In all it's floppy glory, perfect hat for the temps.

I so enjoy seeing you again. I need to develop that steely eyed pose, it shows of the lines of brims so well.


The grand kids always look better in our hats, Lylah is no exception. Nice color on that Mallory.


Great looking NY Brent. I have always wanted to find one of those, don't know if they are still in the catalog. Good to see you.
Thanks, Mike. So good to see you posting on a regular basis again. I've been looking through my older pics and they show it took me while to find this pose that shows off the hat best.

It is still as awesome as it always was. While I have my Borsalino Gorasgu basic needs covered by now, one like this is still high on the list!

Great picture. Make me wonder how many of them will end up wearing a hat when they're older.

Thank you.

Maybe a couple of them will decide to. One of these days (not too soon, I hope) they're going to inherit a whole bunch of them.

Wonderful Homburg Steve, love it! Enjoy your trip, does it include a visit to a hatter too? ;)

Thanks, Michael. A lot of texture and visual interest there! Love it.
Thanks Stefan. It was a happy find.

Thanks Michael. In my prior life I used to travel all over the world and was able to pick up some nice pocket watches in obscure shops[emoji275] This one I picked up at the Gold Souk in Dubai about 15 years ago.

Of course, what can I say about your ensembles, they are amazing.

Cool. I wonder what the history of the watches travel was?

Early morning was cool and windy. A "furry" Disney fedora kept my head toasty. The air is damp and heavy. They are signals of an impending snow event.

As predicted the snow pellets started mid-morning. I was out doing some snow-blowing in a Gannon fedora (steel with charcoal trimmings). More drizzle/sleet/snow to come in the next 24 hours. I spoke to relatives near Duluth, Minnesota this morning and they are expecting 24 inches of new snow, blizzard warnings and up to 10 foot waves off Lake Superior. Only 150 miles away and a world away in weather.

I am inside warming my hands and preparing for more outside adventure today.
