    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Three days in Hyogo for our 27th wedding anniversary. I wanted a special hat, so went for my Borsalino Bismuto Debrosan. Etsuko wore a Maxim. More cherry blossoms (and some food) to come in the Fedoras Afield thread if I get around to it.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Thanks Jack. This is the only place I’ve found like it in Japan (or anywhere). He really knows his whiskey, has great general knowledge, and just knew when to talk and when to leave us to ourselves. It was a great time.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Finally, today, we had a Malbec with an early dinner, which I neglected to get a picture of and finished off back at home with some Black Bottle Smoke & Dagger. The Kindle I got as an anniversary present doesn’t have as much character as a real book, but it’s a heck of a lot more convenient.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Saturday evening continued… We started with a glass each of Machrie Moor. Next was the 200th anniversary edition of Lagavulin 8. Delicious! Next was a Bottler’s Laphroig. We finished with a shared glass of Ardbeg Corryvreckan. They were all great. I always love a Lagavulin, but the clear...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Saturday’s indulgences. A visit to Arima and to the local brewery. A Black Ale for me and a White Ale for Etsuko. Same Borsalino again. Later a Minoh Beer Pale Ale for me and Pilsner for Etsuko. Back at the hotel in the afternoon with some bubbly & strawberries - Etsuko’s favourite. Then...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    I took Friday off and we spent the resultant long weekend (over?) indulging in Kobe… Open Air Brewery. I’d never heard of a Golden Stout before, but it (on the left) was really good. Quite strong coffee flavours. Etsuko had a Stratosphere Session IPA. I was surprised their Session IPA was...

    The Gorasgu for me. Truly a stunner. Second place to the Panizza Oro.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Taking tomorrow (Friday) off to start our anniversary celebrations (27 years). To start the celebrations, we opened a bottle of Scarabus 10. Today’s hat is a Knox Flying Cloud. This is right up there. A beautiful smokey, but not at all harsh whisky. We bought a bottle of Arran Sherry Cask to...

    Love the hat, but the eyes head to that jacket. Excellent all round.

    Good news. I awoke this morning to find the eclipse had passed and I can see all those lovely hats!

    Not sure what’s happening here. I’m not seeing any pictures, just blank spaces. It’s the same on my iPhone and iPad.

    Akubra Overload

    Nice! I have a 1960s Akubra Stylemaster with a Pocketweight designation. The felt on that is also significantly different to my modern Stylemaster. It’s much thinner (especially on the pinch, where the previous owner must have held it). It’s also unlined with a sticker on the crown tip and...

    Enjoying a Malbec while grilling on the shichirin.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The latest incarnation of my Hornskov Rancher still has the centre dent with front pinch rather than the original cattleman crown, but it’s also back to a flat brim. Etsuko didn’t like the side curls, and now it’s back to flat, I’m inclined to agree with her. I think this is how the hat will...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Gorasgu for me, followed by the Barbisio and the Panizza, but as always, not a dud amongst them.

    What are you listening to?

    I had to watch this to find out if the Thug was in the band or listening to Milton DeLugg and the band with you. I’m none the wiser.
