Mailman showed up today with a package,,, a RM Williams waxed cotton jacket to replace my long lost Barbour. If my memory is correct, this coat is a heavier weight fabric than the old Barbour. feels substantial. Just in time for the rain starting tonight.
SO today I have a new job... Austrailian fashion model. Figured my old Akubra Lawson was a perfect fit... ( love the braided kangaroo band on this one)
Or perhaps the Akubra Sidewinder is just as good?
either way the big green hats get to come out!

Missing the sugar but still delicious!
Hat, jacket and food; all fantastic, Gary.I saw these two magnificent hats first thing this morning and was feeling some serious hat envy, so I spent the day in my beaver Hornskov Broker.

It helped somewhat, as did this huge lunch at a local Taiwanese place we’d been wanting to try. ¥950 ($US6.25) each, and very satisfying.

And Etsuko’s.

And finally, I don’t have the special vintage app, but here’s my vintage version using my regular photo editing app.

Just a sidebar question regarding Australian gear... I noticed that the RM Williams has a left handed zipper. I remember years back I had to buy a jacket at an airport in Argentina ( when Laska Airlines lost my luggage) and it had a left handed zipper. ( going to Tierra del Fuego in shirt sleeves is not a good idea lol) Always seemed to me that in North America and Europe, mens clothing had right hand zipper pulls/ buttons and womens clothing had left hand pulls/ buttons.
Can any world travelers enlighten me if this is common in certain places for a reason (southern hemisphere thing, or a carry over from some colonial customs maybe ?)
Are there any regional carry over specs for hats that are different from one place to another? ( like the sizes are for example). I ask that because in looking at some Borsalino hats I see some marked as 59/ 7-1/4 and others as 59 /7-3/8... IS a 59 a 59 regardless?

Max Wiese Berlin, Stolzf. Luxury Velour made for Leineweber Berlin, possibly early to mid 1930s. The steingrau / stone gray close crop Velour is very dense with high gloss. Found this fantastic Velour back in 2017.

I can't answer for the clothing, but for the hats, yes a 59 should be a 59 everywhere since it is the centimeters. The sizes other than the centimeters could vary. The UK size is one size larger than the US. So a 7-1/4 UK would be 7-3/8 US.

Got this in the mail today. A White Label Lee. The felt is similar to an early Stetson 20, but much softer to the touch and very malleable. A 2-3/4" Cavanagh type edged brim and 5-1/2" crown.

I got a package today from Mr. Randall, he did a wonderful job cleaning up and doing a little resto on my No. 1 Quality Stetson. I'm super happy with how it turned out!
Very nice score, Don. Congrats!
SWEEEEEEET!!!!
