Showing off my new little 100X gold hat pin on this sweet rolled edge Stetson Beaver 100 from the 60s that I bought from @Rmccamey a few years ago.

I’m trying to buy more bourbon to avoid all the price increases brought on by the tariff scare.

But in your example you mean 1.75L which is 1750ml (2.33 bottles @ 750ml). I found a sale on Mi Campo Repo & the 1.75L bottles were priced @ $43 ea, cheaper per unit than the 750ml’s, so I took two. I have a wire rocker so I don’t mind handling that size bottle. That’s the equivalent of 4.66 bottles @ 750ml for $86.

Im going to have to make plans for a trip to a bigger town ( for bigger liquor store, and hopefully better prices lol). $40 I can handle... $60 is a bit pricy

The Resistol looks even better with the arrow pin Joe, love it.
Do you remember a lady from Belgium name of Esther Weis? She made me a hat very similar to Stetson's Stratoliner, she dubbed it: Strat-a-like. She made this one for me.

In the meantime my wife, Tina, had come across some fabric depicting old MG cars, from which she made me a classic MG shirt. One of the most interesting features of that shirt are the buttons. She made them out of lapel pins and, just in case I lost one, she bought a spare. When she saw the Strat-a-like she made use of that spare pin.

It gets many a comment at classic car meetings. Did you want to see the shirt that inspired the hat pin?

Today heading out under another of last years Western to Town hat conversions. The heavier felt of the westerns makes for a good warm cool weather hat. A bit rigid, but you never have floppy brims or wavy parts lol. I personally like working with the taller western crowns as they just look better with some height that do so many of the modern hats with rather short crowns

This one one started life as a 4x Stetson western. Little bit of cleaning, trimming, and styling and it became a country gentleman
