    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Entrance Ceremony for the new first graders today, so the Brümmel’s Homburg made an appearance. We always hope for the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom for the entrance ceremony. Today they were spectacular!

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    The latest video (of Peter making a zorro hat with and for his daughter) shows them pouncing the hat.

    Akubra Overload

    Looks great. Are you on the wrong page (we’ve all done it), or is that an Akubra bowler? I don’t recall having seen one before.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I bet if pushed, you could find another three or four special circumstances under which you would consider purchasing. I showed this to Etsuko. She’s familiar with HAS, but says you are really sick. You’ve come to the wrong place for treatment, though. None of us want to see you get well soon!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I’m with Steve here…or at least I thought I was. I just went back for another look. The Landasti or the Odessa for second place behind the Gorasgu. I can’t decide.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Spent the day in the garden, so the Snowy River got the call up again. Later, I fired up the shichirin, so switched to the barbecue hat - the Bluegrass Green Cattleman. Atsuage (Deep fried tofu) is remarkably good on the barbecue. Crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside...

    Well that is the symphony that you would, in the words of David Byrne, “swivel and bop” to.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Very jealous. I have seen the American Utopia movie on the small screen at home. The finale doing Road to Nowhere walking through the crowd was brilliant, and I can only imagine what that person in the front row was feeling when David Byrne stopped right in front of her. That music was such a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Spent the day on the barbecue. Spare ribs and pork belly burnt ends. I didn’t get food photos (sorry Stefan) or even a head shot, but I was in my regular bbq hat - the Akubra Cattleman.

    Yep, a little unmanned station in the countryside in Wakayama Prefecture.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Well this was a disappointment. Definitely some chocolate flavour there, but just a weird taste. Not terrible, but not particularly good. This regular Asahi went down much better. And the hat for the day was my Stetson Custom V.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Custom V yesterday. After enjoying Stop Making Sense so much the other day, I decided to go to American Utopia yesterday. 14 people in the theatre, I picked a seat at the side, away from anyone else, so I could dance around like a lunatic like last time. About three songs in, I was instructed...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Thanks Stefan. Back when I was teaching at public schools, it was jeans or chino pants (shorts in summer) and an open neck polo shirt. For teaching primary school level, it was much more practical. The Tirard might not have worked well with it, but I could certainly find other hats that would...

    Been a while since I had the Tirard out. No sun to protect my eyes from, so it’s brim up today.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The Mossant and Borsalinos for me, but the others are (of course) no slouches, either.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    First hat yesterday was my Resistol Rancher. The second was my Fed IV, but didn’t get a picture.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Denim today. The brand is Unico Linea, a Japanese brand that I know nothing about, but the denim is from Okayama, the home, as I understand it, of the best Japanese denim. It’s certainly a good quality thick denim. The hat is a Resistol that draws a fair few looks here in Japan.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I like it. I was always self conscious about a tall crown at first, but now I wish I had stuck with a tall crown on one of my custom hats where I asked for the standard tall crown to be reduced to medium. I love my taller ones now. I’m sure you’ll get used to it too. It certainly doesn’t...
