What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[GHT]

Thank you Robert. Adam hats as a manufacturer employed a DTC marketing strategy via their own chain of Adam Hats stores…. They were generally a popular price brand.. however they made very high quality hats with excellent style. From what I saw… the time line was a bit muDey. But it does appear Miller Bros did in fact purchase the manufacturing and wholesale segments of Adam Hats in the mid 1950s if not the brand itself. Today the former Dallas area Adam Hats factory has been converted into Adam Hats Apartments.

looking sharp today. Good luck dodging the raindrops.

You are a mind of information Joe, appreciate that, thank you. And the rain held off, all in all, a good day.

A great Resistol Mark, I'm struck by the colour and the slim hat ribbon, exquisite.
What a distinguished set of whiskers you have. I wore a beard to cover a prominent mole on my jaw, but when the grey whiskers started to appear, the beard came off, perhaps that mole was not so prominent! Vain? Who me?



Our VW is in the garage for service, so as the weather has been cooperative, the MG has been pressed into service today. I'm off to Salisbury wearing the red Gamble & ***n hat I had made to wear at vintage festivals, but Tina said, "wear it," it goes so well with that blazer, have to admit, it didn't take much encouraging.

Red hats always garner positive comments!

We had an employee appreciation cruise last night, our compatriots from Newport Beach came up to Marina del Rey and took our team out on Entertainer (our 500 pax boat) for "Prom"

Open Road Wednesday here in East Texas. This soft 3x is one of my 8 favorite Open Roads ( I love them all... why have just one favorite?)

Given that today is yesterday's tomorrow, I figured I would take advantage of the 1.21 gigawatts I stumbled upon to go Back to the Future (sorry, but the DeLorean and Flux Capacitor proved too difficult to procure) and post the hat I wore during my livestream with Paul John Murphy, owner of British bespoke hat maker "PJ Murphy and Son" and the "Passion4Hats" YouTube channel. I had Paul make me two hats that were both crafted using FEPSA felts. This particular example is elevated by an ivory ribbon and matching brim binding. The palette evokes the timeless harmony of “Ebony and Ivory,” Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder’s 1982 ode to balance and beauty. Its defining feature, however, lies in its story: a flaw in the felt, transformed into art. Rather than conceal it, Paul reimagined it, marking the spot with a matching ivory “X”. What could have been imperfection now stands as a symbol of character and craftsmanship.

Now that red hat has got some serious wow factor, and the blue paisley patterned jacket even more so!

Excellent Dalton, Joe. Good get.

"Another merchant from the 1890's was Bendix Erickson, who with his son Edward, ran B. Erickson and Son Men's Furnishings out of 1223 South Sixteenth Street. The frame store was designed by Andrew Elleson in 1897 and was built by Christ Templin. The Erickson family, including Alfred L., Mrs. Louise, Oscar, Sievert, William and Edward, lived above the store. Bendix's son Alfred L. continued the business into the 1920's, by which time the Uesbach and Bartel Clothing Store and dentist John J. Slattery shared the premises. Erickson remained in business in this building through the late1950‘s. The building is not currently being used for retail purposes.(Milwaukee City Building Permits; Milwaukee City Directory)"
