Yeah.... when I buy stuff over here that’s easy. One here, another there... she asks “hey, is that a new hat” and I answer “what this old thing?”
That’s easy. But most of the thin ribbons I like don’t really make it over the pond. I buy them in the states and have them shipped to my folks...
Thanks Bowen. I just have (hopefully - had) a problem with a Tendon in my right hand. I think they call it “Trigger Finger” over there.
Hilariously, it’s my middle finger... so I’ve got some interesting X-ray pics. That and a doctor-prescribed 2 weeks off work... I’m feelin’ fine.
On the warm side of felt weather over here... and I’ve been out of the loop a bit after a minor operation earlier in the week.

... and..... art!
Jeff Tweedy has worn a bunch of different hats over the years but has really “branded” himself lately with the modern silverbelly OR... I won’t lie, him and an old artikel I read about the Stetson OR is what brought me here...
Welp.... I’m sending this one back. After all that, it wasn’t a 57 like the guy wrote in the title / description.... It’s a punti 4 1/2, clearly marked under the sweat.
The felt is gorgeously soft and fluffy though.... considering that I never really “wanted” this thing, I am surprisingly...
Ha... a seller on eBay over here listed 2 hats recently: a „Steton Royal...“ and a „Doops Fifth Avenue...“
If they weren’t both size 55 cm baby hats, I’d feel like I found some sweet hidden gems.
Oh man... right after I previously quoted your message I went on EBay classified over here and saw a new listing for a “Stetson 10x Silverbelly size 61” (translated from German). Asking price 50€ VB ( VB is German for make me an offer)... In pic one... oh dang it looks like a gorgeous OR. I was...
The short answer is... I don‘t know. It‘s a Borsalino, and has a leather sweat. The seller referred to it as wool I’m seeing, but I find that a lot of German sellers list fur-felt hats mistakenly as wool. Here’s the only other pic.
Apparently I am waiting for this to arrive, though I have no recollection of seeing it or bidding on it (opening bid, only bidder)... and it‘s not really my style (I’m a thin ribbon guy thus far.)
If it wasn’t my size, I would be sure that I had been hacked.
Yeah... I remember you writing that before about wishing for a black CD.... at least I think that was you...
It HAS to be BS, but the tease of CDs in black and sky gray (no idea what that would be but it sounds glorious) is killing me a little.
