Hiking on Mt Ranier...it was a warm day, but at that altitude it got chilly...Kind of weird hiking in the snow on a glacier...sweating and cold at the sametime...lol! I'm gonna include a couple pix of just the scenery aswell as me in my Lock & Co Sandown...
Saw a film I had never heard of from 2015... I didn't pick it, I walked into a situation where this was the film du jour...The Dressmaker starring Kate Winslet....Turned out to be a great hat film and the women's fashions were fantastic...It's about a woman fashion designer in the fifties who...
From what I've seen, there really isn't a steadfast rule...I know on the Lock & Co. web-site, some trilbies have larger brims than some fedoras...I know originally there wasn't a difference...In the U.S. it was a fedora, in the UK it was a trilby...Then the UK racing felts became so popular...
I'm thinking the Blues is one thing that cats of all styles have in common...Might be easy to put together...
Doesn't matter which groove is decided on....If we had a list of players and the types of music they generally like to play....That might make organizing it easier...
I play...
Beautiful, Chamuco! I guess there won't be much sleeping done til that one makes the scene...Whew! Gorgeous! I love the color.....just perfect! Coolness has been achieved!!
I went sking yesterday...This is my Lock 'Sandown' after the thorough drenching it took two days before...}8^)) Heres before and after...
Getting Drenched on Thursday:
Sking on Sunday...Just hung it to dry in a cool room.
The Wife and I went hiking the other day at Twin Falls WA about 30 mins East of Seattle...
Started raining like crazy...imagine that, caught in the rain around Seattle, lol!
The last picture taken was about half way through...Man, the hat got more soaked than I would have intensionally put...
Never noticed back then....But Chief Clifford could solid rock that stingy brim...very similar to my Lock & Co. Sandown...Definitely has that classic English racing felt thing going on...
And that young lady gives Dennis' hat a whole new World of Cool...}8^))
I really LOVE it, when a new production hat turns out to be so nice...
I know what you mean....you need to handle a stack of the exact same hat...and IF you are lucky you hit one like your Borsa here...But man...thats the joy and thrill of the hunt....when it does produce a pay-off....And it's...
I hear ya there Anthony, that Snead look is very classic....alot like Willam Holden's hat in Sabrina....I always dug that one too...so 1950's...yet timeless at the sametime..
I got caught in, not a down pour, but one of those really get you wet quickly rains walking in downtown Seattle Yesterday...
I hung it up when I got home, and had to leave again a couple hours later...picked it up, thinking it would still be wet, but it was dry and ready to go back out...
Ohh...
Hat looks perfect, and you lok perfect wearing it! One of those shots looks like an album cover waiting to happen. And I agree with Bob, you can tell there is something special going on with that felt by the way it responds to your touch...I can't help but smile when I see a felt that melts to...
This advice from "Moon" is a very astute observation, and seldom mentioned but extremly important! No matter what you hang or place the hat on to dry...if the top of the crown is the contact point, it will change the shape of the hat...and the heavier the hat, the more distortion!
Thanks "Moon"...
I have seen some behine the scenes films while shooting "The Shootist" with Wayne speaking with fans. He was very personable and sincere. He said, he had been having a very bad year healthwise, he said, "It just hasn't been during this picture, I've just had a lousy year as far as feeling...
