I think tomorrow is the day for beard and hair shortening. Spring weather is supposed to start then. More or less.

Have a good Monday,

I trimmed the beard back last week when we had a bit of a warming trend, then the temps took a dive this week. Wishing I had waited another week or two.

Looks good on you, Dave. I always loved that Cobalto blue color.

Looking good Michael! Wind chill was minus 2 here this morning, supposed to be close to 50 degrees tomorrow. Spring is not far off.

Thanks Dave. That was a great looking Borsalino you pulled out today.

I just finished trimming mine. I left quite an ample amount I think. It was 15 here this morning, but our highs are supposed to be consistently near 50 til next week and then move up to 60. I'll finish the trim next week.
Thanks,
Michael

This is shaping up to be quite the week. I had oral surgery to put in the stud for a dental implant, no fun. They did knock me out for this procedure, so I wore my 1950s Stetson "surgery" hat yet again. Today I ventured out to pick up some yummy pain meds and the "Love Potion #9" for my second procedure in a week at the CT Scan for my screwed up insides. I go in early in the morning after drinking this imaging juice, I think it is Barium (?). Since it was sunny today, I wore a custom Black Sheep Hat Works fedora in silver belly beaver felt. My Allen Edmonds Maxfield loafers saw the daylight today as well. Fun times...

Hang in there, Mike! The hats make it look easy, even when it's not.

If you are feeling better by Saturday, we are heading to see Mike Miller in Eugene...

Well if it makes you feel any better, you look great!

Got this one out in regards to a Hatbox Homage question. No reason to put it away. Wore it while doing my daily back yard chores.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota" "Seal Velour" possibly late 1930s and a recent find. This hat is in New Old Stock condition.

European velours are something to see. That thing reflects light like a disco ball. Always great stuff, Steve. Wish they had made westerns.

Very nice!
I came across this ad from 1913 earlier today.

Greetings All:
Today...since it’s double Dobbs Forty day in the classifieds i couldn’t resist a double down Dobbs Forty post. Seeing those classifieds had me feeling the 40s and feeling remiss not fondling the 40s enough.
So...some Forties for the fire and the fortunate fellows that find themselves fulfilled with a fine find. Well...i’m outta “f”s so fare thee well.
And safe.

This was a costly lesson. This is my most expensive custom hat and it’s one that I regret ordering. It’s exactly what I ordered, but it just doesn’t work like I thought it would from photos. The felt is FEPSA 100% beaver and nice, but not as nice as my best/most recent Gannons made from Winchester’s beaver felt. It’s also not as nice for my preferences as FEPSAs 50X felt from Hornskov. I talked myself into this hat, and in the three months I’ve owned it I’ve only worn it to try on. I’ve spent a lot of time shaping and reshaping it, and I’m sure I’ll reshape it again. Mikael of Hufvud is a good hatter and it’s a quality hat, but it just hasn’t won me over. There’s a lot I’d do differently.

When in doubt...iron it out and give it a curl. Nice contrast.

You need a bandana and you'd be ready to hold up the stage coach

Like for the hats...not all the medical stuff last couple years! You’ve got to be overwhelmed by all the procedures. Let’s pray for healing and health. You’ve earned it Mike.
Hats up and hang in there.

Thank you, B. I never reach for this hat without thinking of you. There’s been a compliment from you every time I’ve worn this hat. Not that I was fishing but I’ve noticed a lack of of posts from you so, post the Cav 100 and there you are, complimenting the C 100 and sporting a great pair of 40’s. There may be another 100 around but I’ve never seen one like this. Good to see you.
