What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Who?]

A student stopped me on the way out of school today to tell me that I had “fire drip.” after checking behind me to make sure some portion of me was not aflame, nor was I trailing any kind of liquid behind me, I asked him if that was a good thing? He said “yes” … so there! Those are my new adjectives “fire/drip.”

Keeps me up on the current ‘lingo’ which I like to use a lot (sometimes incorrectly) to embarrass the students.

Okay, I’ll bite ……. translated into grammatical standard North American English (as spoken in the former North American Colonies) what does that mean?

While out to take a pic of this restored 40s Dobbs a hawk lit on one of my fence posts.
He didn’t mind me much and shouldn’t….now that I no longer have chickens.

Stepping out tonight in this American classic. MacLachlan Beaver 15. Even the moth nibbles don’t diminish this felted edge beauty (that much anyway).

The 2 7/8 brim is slightly over my comfort zone for a dress hat. Brim up maybe give it a different feel

It's been almost 40 years since I served in the Navy.

Wearing my old Navy Dixie Cup uniform cap for the annual tradition during the Army - Navy football game.

Go Navy - Beat Army

Thank you for your service! Dig the hat.

My Dad served in the Army (in Korea), but apparently is rooting for Navy this go-round. I think that is his roommate's hat.

My outfit (my drip) looks great (fire) … at least I think that is right.

Thank you.

It‘s a shame they can’t just learn and use English.

Don’t know what I like more: the color or the texture. Great hat, Joe.

Thank you Brent. As you know, blues can sometimes be tricky. This one is just so adaptable. And the super thin but obedient felt let’s you do just about whatever you want with the brim.

The kid working the produce stand check out today…. “First of all… before anything…. I gotta tell you, your Fedora is so cool!“

Modern Borsalino that just just arrived with a dozen of its friends:
