Wearing a real favorite of mine today, this late 1950’s Royal De Luxe Stetson. The raggy old shirt is a little newer; a late 1960’s Pendleton that belonged to a friend’s dad. I received it in late 1973.

Being semi-retired I don't have to go to work every day. So today, I am taking the lady to her favourite fabric shop, a chore that for me has many blessings.

Just after we came out of lockdown this lovely fabric appeared in her cabin.

Sometime later I was wearing it. Perfect with a summer straw.

Today's purchases? Watch this space. Oops nearly forgot to give John B a credit.
My hat in the first photo is a Stetson Sovereign.

Looking mighty fine, Robert. Trousers while you wait? Tina's not slowing down!

Took the afternoon and tomorrow off to celebrate Etsuko’s birthday.
Etsuko wore her sand Leisuretime. Her jeans aren’t easy to see in the picture, but they are Oni Denim jeans - her birthday present. The guy that makes them is in his seventies. Apparently when winter gets too cold, he doesn’t work and when summer gets too hot, he doesn’t work. He’s the only one who knows how to use the vintage machines and has no one to take over the business when he’s done. The denim is pretty special - unlike any denim I’ve touched before.

We went for sushi at her favourite place.

I wore my Hornskov Mogul in natural with a brown ribbon. This is Etsuko’s favourite of my Hornskovs. Understated, but very classy.

Congratulations to Etsuko (and yourself of course). She's looking very stylish and elegant with that long coat. I'm with her on the preference for the second Hornskov. And foodpics; jay!

Very nice Randall.

 

[GHT]

Looking dapper, Robert.

Thank you Joe, much appreciated. After we had bought the fabric earlier Tina suggested that we go for a coffee, there's a great, family run cafe nearby. The fellow behind the counter said, "what a dapper gent," as he looked at my Stetson.

Looking mighty fine, Robert. Trousers while you wait? Tina's not slowing down!

Thank you Stefan, Tina did smile at your comment.

 

[steur]

Thanks Stefan! And it's not even a Champ!
The first thing I thought when I found it at a thrift store was how similar the felt was in thinness and it's soft, fine hand to this Hückel that came from you in trade.

Have a great day!

I admit I had to look that one up. Nice thin felt as I recall. Looks good, John.

Happy Birthday to Etsuko. You're both looking so cool as usual, especially the Birthday Girl.

What a pity the craftman's knowledge in those denims won't live on after he's gone.

Very sharp Gary.

Thanks, Joe.

Happy Birthday Etsuko. What a stylish couple you two are.

How unfortunate that man’s skill and knowledge isn’t being passed on.

Thanks again.

Of course, it's not on MY head, but I think the current shape is EXTREMELY good looking. And that tie scores 15 on a scale of 1 to 10!

Thanks, Voodoo. I think it’ll stay pretty much like this. I may pull the brim down at the front for a little more curve…we’ll see.

Happy Birthday, Etsuko!

Thanks again!

Thanks, Stefan.

Etsuko’s reached the age where she isn’t thrilled at the idea of getting any older, but she does appreciate the birthday wishes.

Happy Birthday to Etsuko. You're both looking so cool as usual, especially the Birthday Girl.

Thanks, Steve.
It’s a problem faced by several traditional arts in Japan.

A warm but grey day. I’ve been swapping over to light felt so I went with the early 50s Canadian Royal Stetson for the first time since summer last year.

I had the sweatband changed a few years back but the very first time I sweat in it the darn thing bled through the felt and stained the front of the ribbon. More than three years later and I’m still sore about it!

Still a favorite nonetheless but now I don’t wear him hard for fear of more staining.
