Forecast says colder tomorrow, chance of flurries, but reached 74 today. Was able get out my Dobbs Toledo purchased from Floyd Shankerman of Shankerman's Mens Shop in Clarksdale, MS. Located at 228 Yazoo Ave., the store was opened by Floyd's grandfather Abraham in 1919. Bought off the shelf in...
I understand yer pain Jackal. I personally can't go them Shock Tops/Blue Moons, etc. Actually have a problem with most brews I'm expected to put a piece of fruit in. Although do lean somewhat toward "South of the Border" stuff. e.g. Corona, Pacifico, Modelo, etc. Also can't go along with the...
Beings it was :D St. Patrick's Day :D absolutely had to stop by North End Tavern (www.netbrewery.com) for traditional corned beef & cabbage and a few ROEDY'S RED craft brews (www.netbrewery.com/craft-beer-in-west-virginia/roedys-red).
Saw a cool looking leather Newsboy on the Hats in the Belfry site. On sale and you might wanna check it out at

Was in need of a little "South of the Border" so nothing else would do. Tall Margarita, salted rim, 1800 tequila, touch of Gran Marnier, decent pre-mix, lots of lime, on the rocks. :D
Recently spent some time in beeee-u-teee-ful SUNNY Florida. :) Needed my wide brim Dobbs San Juan Plantation. Way better than this icebox we're living in today!
Well....... my new Gannon has arrived. I'd love to post some pics but it keeps coming up "the file is too large to process". Have no idea why as this has NEVER happened before now. And as I go back thru some older photos, most of them now get the same response. Guess y'all just gonna have take...
Waiting for my new silverbelly felt from Michael Gannon (gannonhatcompany.com) in Portland, OR. Great news today. He's actually running a little ahead of schedule and should start on mine this week! Similar to but not exactly same as his Rodolfo.
I'm always happy to hear good reports about Mike Gannon and his hats. I just ordered mine after communicating with many on Fedora Lounge. All who convinced me that I'd never regret getting one of this products. Looking forward to receiving it but it's gonna be probably 7 more weeks. :( But once...
Couple dozen raw oysters from Maryland's Eastern Shore. Saltine crackers, Tabasco sauce, horseradish and favorite SHUCK'N 'N JIVE'N sauce via Wintzell's Oyster House (www.wintzellsoysterhouse.com) Mobile, AL.
Pancake supper this evening. Two flat pancakes (I hate fluffy ones) fried in bacon grease with a over easy egg in between. AKA to cakes with a egg tweener. umm, umm, ummmmm!
In Casablanca both Rick's and Sam's fedoras were soaked while waiting on Ilsa in a downpour at the train station. I'm fairly certain both would have been quality fur felt. But I've often wondered how both hats survived. :eek:
next question-
If I go with the silverbelly (which l think I'll definitely do), what would be a suggestion for sweatband and liner colors?
muchas gracious amigos! :p
Thanks Winston, as well as others, for this good to know information. I've learned more about felt fedoras and westerns the past couple days then ever imagined.:) Now think I'm leaning toward a softer rabbit felt fedora. And I'll definitely look into Bickmore Stiffener.
