    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Newly bashed Popeye Doyle pork pie again today since the weather hasn't been too hot. I'm normally a "brim down" kind of guy, but this one seems to prefer having its brim up.

    Boater faction!

    Yeah, it seems like all the Italian boaters are either made by Tesi or Ponte Rialto. They seem fairly identical. For all I know they might even be made in the same factory.

    'ppreciate it, Craig. I let the dough rise higher than on Popeye's, but that's because I don't like the top of the crown sitting right on my head.

    Do you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?

    Thanks! Yep, that was all me. I don't really know what I'm doing, I just spray it with distilled water and figure it out as I go along.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    The Francato Cappello with the Popeye Doyle-inspired pinch pork pie bash made its debut today. Sorry about the bad pics, the lighting was poor. One deviation from Popeye's is that it has more of a pronounced telescope--I like having clearance on top of my head. I just realized the...

    Boater faction!

    I'm basically between a 7 5/8 and a 7 3/4 and a long oval, so I usually wear a 7 3/4. My Ponte Rialto Venice boater is a 7 5/8, though, and fits my head very well.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Somebody got a nice big Borsalino OR-style for a good price. I was watching it, but I got so busy with household chores today that I just plain forgot about it. Needs some reshaping and cleaning, but otherwise very nice. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320533851354

    I'm working in the symmetricality of the telescope bash and pinch on the Francato Cappello. Getting there.

    Marvelgoose, with the three month wait, does EA charge your credit card immediately when you place the order, or when it ships?

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    ^^^^ Now that's a good match!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Not a fedora, but I'm wearing my Panama/boater with my numero uno favorite Hawaiian shirt, one I've washed hundreds of times and mowed grass in dozens, if not hundreds of times, which only seemed to improve its looks.

    I've expressed my admiration for that Optimo pork pie before. It reminds me of my Biltmore above, but yours outclasses it big time.

    Francato Cappello stingy I got this Francato Cappello royal beaver stingy fedora off eBay, but once I got it, I didn't like the proportions, so I made a Popeye Doyle pork pie out of it.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Francato Cappello Royal Beaver, just got it in the mail today. It originally looked like this (eBay photos): Judging by the eBay photos, I took the brim width to be about 2 inches, which is my absolute minimum that I'll wear. It's 2 inches on the nose, but with the height of the brim it...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes, it's not too tight and it's not too loose. It fits perfectly. Oh, wait, you meant width, didn't you? ;) lol Joking aside, I agree with Mr. P! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

    Books signed by the author

    I have a paperback copy of John Waters' Crackpot that I bought at a used bookstore for about $4. I flipped to the title page and there was a signature, "To [some dude], John Waters." The novelist Stuart Woods was originally from Manchester, Georgia, and I grew up near there, so sometimes he...

    What Are You Reading

    I read that one a couple of months ago. It was quite a terrific book. I just started Moby Dick. It seems kind of late to be reading it now, but it was never part of my required reading in school for some reason, and I found a nice leatherbound copy at an antique shop and figured "better...

    Maybe Johnny Depp's the one buying all those Whippets.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I wouldn't be able to, either. The proportions look great as they are.
