We are off to the Cathedral City of Salisbury. The cathedral https://www.salisburycathedral.org.uk/ dates back to 1220 and survived WW2 bombing, almost unscathed.

Tina wants to visit Franklin's, a fabric store, after which we will call into The Hat Shop. https://the-hatshop.co.uk/

I promised that we will dine out this evening. There's a pub/restaurant in Salisbury that she loves, called The Haunch http://haunchpub.co.uk/ It's reputed to be over seven hundred years old, and has a reputation for being haunted. As there's no time to get home to change, we will have to dress to impress before we leave.

Franklin's know Tina well, but I haven't been there before, I have, however been in The Hat Shop many times. They made the bespoke hat that I'm wearing, to compliment the made to measure blazer, both of which, are favourites of my lady.

A Borsalino Light Weight in Cobalto color, and it already had my name in it.

Well, colour me jealous. What a thing! Super hat.

Great group of hats last week, Stefan The Rehfus? I’m intrigued. I love it.

Thanks, Reggie. It is an interesting one. The ribbon treatment made me pull the trigger.

Mystery Blue Hat Saturday! Not really sure what it was because there were no tags when I got it and it had some sort of hand tied scarf band and a big white goose feather stuck in it lol

I do know its a fairly heavy navy blue Sovereign felt Stetson something-or-other, with a welted edge. Made up a more appropriate grosgrain ribbon and bow and stuck a bit more civilized feather on. ( I MAY redo with a slightly smaller ribbon... just havent made my mind up yet) Its a wonderfully soft hat and feels great in this morning's 34 degrees. Not the nicest hat on the wall, but it checks the box on the "blue hat" column

Nice subtle blue colour on that one, Rick.

Blue hat...did I hear someone say blue hat ? Lol.
Here's my blue hat today... a Biltmore Rondelay long hair fedora made in Canada. Not really the shape hat I prefer but I simply couldn't pass it up as I don't see alot of long hair BLUE hats. View attachment 678286 View attachment 678287 View attachment 678288 View attachment 678289

Because you need petting hats in all colours!

I thought it was a euphemism until I saw the hat, Jim

Now that's a demon we all should have.

Brüder Böhm Velour, possibly late 1920s early 1930s. This Velour was made for the French market. I found it back in 2010.

Brüder Böhm Wien Postcard (April 8, 1918) I picked this one up recently. It was sent to a hat store owner (Franz Karzen) in Wamberg, Böhmen, Austria (today Vamberk, Bohemia, Czech Republic). Found this postcard back in 2012.
