Nice hat! The store it came from in Bryan is just about an hour west of me. Nice color ( I actually have my pale green Open Road out this morning here)
Its a big ol orange! lol last one in the bag was twice the size of the rest. But it needed an orange slice so there we are! We'll call be a style thing
After what seems like months of unsuccessful shopping here in deep East Texas, I finally found someone who carries one of my favorites on my trip down Houston way last friday... Celis White out of Austin (Belgan style Whitbier) Reminds me of Blue Moon but with more flavor WHIPPET AND WHITE!
Got a new Paradise Found in today... didnt have any grey-ish ones so it tempted me. This ones actually a green-grey. Guess I need to go through the wall and figure what hats pair best with it. The natural Hemp goes great, but the Black Akubra and the grey Beaver dont clash too badly
The newly salvaged Gay Prince gets to go outside today. Happy to report that the felt patches on the holes are holding up well ( nothing fell off lol) This is such a nice soft felt... Im really happy it didnt get thrown away before I got it. I wasnt sure it was salvagable but it definately got...
Beautiful bright sunny, breezy day here in East Texas. Have the air conditioner turned off and all the windows open to air the house out. Enough wind that there are no bugs flying. Think this is going to be a good day to just sit out on the patio with a pina colada or 4 and try out a few new...
I made it back from Houston last night. Long Drive ( 2-1/2 hrs each way) Long day. I stayed with the black Akubra Bogart yesterday. Did break out a Silverbelly Open Road and a Grey Beaver Brand today to try on a new Paradise Found shirt... Didnt have any darker ones like this so thought Id give...
Heading out today with one of the cowboy conversions. Used to be a big ol Stetson Gus. Reshaped crown and trimmed some excess acreage off the brim and repurposed a spare Panama band
Interesting observation from the funeral today.....There were as couple of other gentlemen wearing hats, and the Catholic Church the service was in actually hat hat hangers underneath the pews lol ( older church)
I agree... Ive already decided not to wear the vest due to heat. Im covered for cooler weather, but sInce my friends are getting older, Im thinking I need to go shopping for a nice lightweight suit. My retirement has reaked havoc on my wardrobe lol
Heading down into Houston tomorrow for a friends funeral. Had to test fit the suit to make sure I dont have and surprises when I put it on (2nd time in 5-1/2 yrs I put on a suit) Im debating whether to wear a hat due to the heat, but both the black Temple and Black Bogart do look good with it...
Picked up a new-to-me Peterson Rocky Donegal. (Early 70s Sterling silver band) Got it cleaned up and breaking it in with a Modern Whippett and some C&D Autumn Evening. Its smaller than most of my pipes, but its a comfortable small bowl smoke.
I have quite a bit of Stetson advertising... Only Problem is that If I find an attractive framed print, I just HAVE to go find that hat!~ lol
I like your Taste!
