What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[T Jones]

There hace to be a few more Buckeyes on here.



Maybe you need a "He Shed!"

As far as I know, I think it was just us four. I could be wrong. Alan used to come to Columbus every now and then when his daughter attended college here.

A He Shed would be great as long as it's big enough to put my hats in!

Wonderful job Terry. I know the feeling of letting them go.

Thank you Blare! I think Ive kept every one I made so far!

Olive Drab Borsalino "Vitali" mid ribbon. VERY nice thin felt....very lightweight.

The bottom two are with and without the flash....neither shows the color right.

Has a nice rich brown satin liner.......

Travel plans were canceled yesterday. Initial flight canceled and we rebooked with an alternative airline. Informed of 6 hour delay and then delay with connecting flight. This combined with uncertainties with return flight find us cancelling. Thanks goodness for flight insurance so we do not loose gambling that we can travel on an airline.

I woke to have my own schedule this Saturday, New Years Eve morning. Early morning walkabout in a cap (cap inspired by the cap worn by John Wayne in the movie Quiet Man).

Morning coffee under the brim of a Gannon Wanderer (whiskey beaver felt with charcoal trimmings).

Back out for some chores. The birdfeeders got filled and I picked up more "essential" roasted coffee beans. I was sport'n a 30's Stetson Premier (Canadian made and retailed hat(Hurley hat find)).

I prepped a boneless rump roast last night and have started the grill. Shortly the roast will start its 3.5 hour cooking journey. We have invited family and a couple of friends over this afternoon/early evening. Hosting is much less stress than airplane travel at this time.

Standing outside by the grill finds me cozy under a warm wool jacket finds me wearing a Stetson 7x hat.

Happy New Years eve day to all. Cheers, Eric -

Sorry to hear about the cancellation of your travel plans, Eric.

I'm sure though, what with your headwear and your cooking skills, you'll have a great New Year's eve anyway.

Happy New Year to you.

Good to have you back on the continent, Steve. The GB Borsalino shines. We'll make it a good collecting year for sure.

Thanks Stefan. Thanks too for your contributions to making it always a good collecting year

Happy New Year to you and Mrs. Steur.

Thanks, Joe.


Thank you, Matt.

Thanks, Max! Has a nice ring to it; I'm going to use it!

Thank you, Panos. I'm happy with it as well.

Everything sounds good in Spanish, Esteban.

Resistol while checking out what’s left of the National Forest adjacent to us. I think they still plan to clear cut it and burn it — essentially starting over. I sure miss those woods.

For what reason did they cut it?

Akubra Squatter in carbon grey to end this year in style.

 

[BobHufford]

For what reason did they cut it?

“The hardwoods were at the end of their maturity” or “money!” Seems like the mature Pines went with them. That was the first pass. Then the big wind/tornado a couple of years ago took down much of what was left.

Dusted off this stingy Adam for a trip to the grocery store earlier.

Another hat forgotten about that was stashed away in my stack of hat boxes.
No telling what all kind of hats are hidden in them things.
After finding it I shaped it up. Looks good, but needs a cleaning. Might become my new daily driver. View attachment 476702 View attachment 476701 View attachment 476703

Dang! Great hat! Let me know if you ever get tired of it!

 

[rclark]

So

Thank you all! A tough day, but filled with lots of memories. It was good to see the family and friends we don't get to see that often and to meet new people that had interacted with my Dad in some fashion. Dad's interment in the National Cemetery will be tomorrow and the weather is cooperating nicely with a forecast in the mid-60s.

I appreciate all the kind words and thoughts. It means a lot. You are a great group to hang with.

sorry for your loss Bob.
