    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    Actually the bow is different, too. Quite a few differences after all. Your pinch seems a bit deeper, too. I guess they are similar dimensions, though.

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    It does look similar, but I think the brim curl is a bit different. Also, yours appears to be a diamond crown, whereas the Mogul is a centre dent. Here’s a comparison of our two hats. Yours followed by mine.

    Here’s a video I found on the Uwanabe Kofun - the one we walked around yesterday. It has English subtitles.

    Thanks guys. Much appreciated . Nathan, I believe the tombs are man made islands. The most famous examples can be found in Sakai City in Osaka Prefecture. They were registered as a World Heritage Site a few years back. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozu_Tombs

    So many of the hats in your collection are in pristine condition. Here’s another stunner!

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    You won’t be disappointed. The Mogul is a classy hat. I love mine, and it’s Etsuko’s favourite of my Hornskovs. Did you go beaver or blend?

    Three day weekend and a spur of the moment trip to Nara. We booked a slightly out of the way hotel. Cheap, but quite a large room. Took some beer and wine along and bought dinner at the supermarket to eat in our room. Enjoyed a couple of dips in the jacuzzi on the balcony, and took a wander...

    Took my Bailey’s Toyo out for shopping yesterday, but failed to get a photo. Here’s the hat. I washed the liners of the recent purchases. The water was quite dark brown when I finished the first wash. After the second wash, a lighter brown. The liners still don’t look great, but after...

    Here’s hoping for positive results. Edit: Just saw the results. Sounds good. If only the long covid would sort itself out.

    To be honest, the audio is a little annoying, but as far as I can tell he seems to just hold one end in place and push the single hook through the other end of the ribbon.

    I’ve been looking at puggarees on a website that Brent (where have you been Brent @deadlyhandsome?) shared a while back. Some of them have two hooks (like ones I’ve used so far, but some of them say one hook. My question is how do you attach a one hook pug. Do you put the hook through the pug...

    I did the same to this one. Not quite as bad, but still not pleasant. Etsuko said “get it out of there”, so that’s what I did. This one has matching size labels at 59.

    I’ve just gone ahead and removed the lining from this one. It was really pretty gross. Grimy to the touch. I may try washing it with soapy water. I probably won’t reattach it, but will maybe keep it, just to have the original lining. If I do pass it on one day, maybe the new owner will want...

    A package arrived from the Netherlands with 4 Barbisios. Etsuko was also thrilled to get the Borsalino that Stefan @steur threw in as a bonus. A few quick iPhone snaps. The first one from around 1980 (all dating according to Stefan’s guesstimates). The other three were sold as a set (I say...
