I wish my "chore hats" could be so nice ! lol. Beautiful selection as usual Eric !

Just what I was thinking. Mine are old Akubras that I picked up for very little, or cheap palm straw.

Good morning. A Stetson OR Twenty-Five "chore hat" was my soirée, birdfeeder filling and limb moving fedora.

A Lee All-American in gray was my change for sitting on the deck and sipping coffee. This minty hat is from the Hirsch haberdashers find.

Cheers, Eric -

Woo-hoo!! What a pair, Eric!! Very nice!

With temps still in the 80s I’ve kept the straws handy. A slight dip in temperature has me dipping my head into some fur felt. Circa 1929 Stetson Select Quality Tropic Weight.

Randall, our pal from Yonkers (@Rumad) was (is?) making bread 2-3 times/week. I’ve toyed with the thought. Enough for a Bread thread?

well I haven’t seen Alan hangin round here for quite some time. Miss him. He’s a real good feller.

Making bread is a trick that has a learning curve and it takes a while to figure out which recipe works for you. Then there’s the million “secret” ways of doing things and all the various tools one needs. Just like hats or anything else, once you jump into something you find out there’s a lot to find out.
I’ve found that making a “bread sponge” first, is the way to go for tastier, fluffier, longer shelf life breads and also ending up with a more open “crumb”.
It’s enjoyable if ya have the time, and taste great too—if you’re lucky and happen do it right, that is.
YouTube has been a big help!

Tonight is a Lincoln Bennett. I m guessing early to mid 50s.

This morning's lid is a Stetson 7X Clear Beaver Quality Open Road with embroidered Last Drop liner. Took me awhile to find one of these in my size that I could afford.
Hope y'all have a good 'un.... TGIF !!

I love these hats (you have two of these, right?) and the mustache/ goatee looks very debonair!

Randy, I haven’t gotten to pizza dough yet, but it’s definitely next on the list!
Anybody out there know a great recipe?
WHERE’s Alan?!!

That's a really nice find, Don.

George VI died in 1952, so your date estimate is right.
