Thanks, QR. I'm an unabashed lover of gills.

Modern Borsalino for today.
If you squint your eyes you can see the Golden Gate bridge back there.

This outfit was actually from yesterday, didn't get much computer time. We had family in town and took them to see the Albany Carousel We are very proud of this project, it has revitalized the downtown area and is a real destination. Almost embarrassed to show this one, but here goes. Just a $25 cheap Chinese made trench coat. I wanted something double breasted to try out. It will serve me well until a proper vintage one can be obtained in my 46R size. I did wear a bespoke fedora from NW Hats that I call the 1942 Rose Bowl Hat. My first custom from Mike Miller, oh so long ago...seems like anyway.

Randall, great look and great looking Stetson Homburg. If the the pinch works, it works, yours sure works, my friend.

Kind of gloomy around here, so I'm going with my "go-to" beater. a 60ish Royal Stetson.

I don't understand why pictures keep showing up sideways. This just started to happen.

I've found changing the crop dimensions will keep my pics vertical. May be just a coincidence but worth a shot.

I'll give it a shot. It just started to do that. Never happened with the free version, lol....

That is one bucket list lid, Ken. Super outdoors look, too. Is that your "yard"?

Thanks, Hector. Does anyone in the Lounge know how to clean the “rust spots” out of the liners without removing it from the hat?
Many hats have these brownish red blems and I was wondering how they even get there.

Funny you should mention it, Randall. I was about to show a recently arrived Knox Homburg with the same liner spots. In the antiquarian book trade I used to be a part of, it was known as foxing. It's caused by oxidation.
I wouldn't worry about it, just accept it as a part of the history and aging of the hat. It's like the liver spots on our hands [emoji145]

Great Stetson, Héctor. Weird that photos keep showing that way. Thought it was just me. Glad you mentioned it.

No need to squint Rick, I can see the bridge, but that modern Borsalino steals the view.

Thanks Steve, had it made back in the 90's. Yes, the photos are taken in my yard. Kinda bleak back there now, nothing blooming this time or year.
