    Ask a question, get an answer

    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...

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    @Steve1857, @StoryPNW, just wondering what happened with your Hornskovs. I know you both bought the 30% off old pricing. I can’t recall if it was a one or two year window during which to purchase. I also don’t recall seeing your new Hornskovs. Have they been made, or are they still in the works?

    Rebelling again. Red wine with fish. A very pleasant Chianti. Sunbody and Akubra today.

    Love it! The first picture in particular has a real Monty Python air about it.

    Inclement weather meant electric barbecuing undercover. Wearing my Snowy River rather than my regular barbecue hat.. While I was grilling the fish outside, Etsuko was preparing the sashimi. Earlier in the day, my Sunbody saw off the rain with aplomb.

    Yes, no age statement. At 55.8, it’s a similar strength to the Scarabus Batch Strength, but a lot smoother. Etsuko couldn’t handle the Scarabus without some ice added. The Arran, on the other hand was a lot smoother, but still very flavourful. She loved it straight (as did I).

    Sorry, no hat, though of course I did wear a couple today. We opened a bottle of Arran Sherry Cask. Loved it. We’ve ordered another bottle and one of the Quarter Cask.

    Beautiful hat. Lucky grandson, and the moccasins (are thy moccasins?) caught my eye. I haven’t had a pair since childhood. They look super comfy.

    Never heard of a Baltic Porter, but it sounds right up my alley. I’ll have a search for one, by I expect that even if I find one, it’ll be crazy expensive.

    I’m in Wakayama, just to the south of Osaka. The Kansai airport is on the Wakayama side of Osaka, so really easy to get to.

    Tokyo, I presume. If it’s in Kansai, maybe we could compare hats over a quiet one!

    I’ll be squeezing my thumbs, too. I look forward to seeing more of your travels in the Fedoras Afield thread in the not too distant future.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    As is common in Japan, most of my walls are covered in white (though textured) wallpaper. I find it makes it difficult to get decent shots, hence I go to the one patterned wall we have downstairs and take most of my photos on top of the wine cellar.

    Nothing special today. Shorts again to tend the garden before work in a Tula palm straw. Unlined Christys’ trilby for work.
