Thanks, Steve. Back to back Homburgs!
Looking fine today in your Marathon, and thank you for your kind compliment!
Fantastic Lee. Lovely colors all around, and that sumptuous lining! A very rare and unique vintage lid. Great pictures of it in action as well.
Why didn't you tell me that...
Cavanagh Homburg
With anticipation beset by heavy hearts, we attended the Gala Concert of the locked-out musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra Thursday evening. It was uplifting to hear the music again, played by our friends of what is one of the world's great ensembles, and heartbreaking that...
A belated and collective thanks to all for your kind and thoughtful remarks on my post from yesterday.
Thank you, and you were looking rather dapper in your Playboy yesterday.
Good one, Alan. lol It was my Thompson that Lydia took away at the last minute. ;) A pair of special hats...
OPTIMO Cagney
Last evening after returning home from work, just before heading out again. OPTIMO Cagney, in Porcelain. '39-'49(ca. early '40s) DB suit.
Missed some real knock-outs yesterday!
Alan: What a gorgeous Borsalino. Love the contrasting piped ribbon and stitching on the edge binding.
Jared: Super tone-on-tone photo. You really do that Stetson 100 justice.
David S.: A thing of beauty, your old 'Lafayette'. Outstanding...
Alive'n'Amplified: I quite like your Saks Fifth Avenue. Looks terrific! Thanks for the nod on my post, it is very kind of you.

Fantastic photos, Jeff and Rusty! :eusa_clap
Jeff: It has been three years to the week that we last visited the Black Hills and the Crazy Horse Memorial, so it is wonderful to see the painfully slow but discernible progress that has been made in that time. Thanks for the update!
Rusty...
John: Thank you!
Rusty: Much obliged for your kind words, and glad to have you along.
David: Your 7XCB is grand! These days it is dark when I leave the house in the morning and when I get back home in the evening. Thanks for your very nice comments!
Alan: Thank you, my friend!
With our love of St. Paul and its significant and intriguing gangster history, Lydia booked a Gangster Tour some months back and we found ourselves at the trolley on a cool Sunday morning.
My Heather Dobbs, once again.
Passing by one of our favorite stomping grounds: The Landmark Center...
Weekend Wanderlust
After picking Ryan up from school Friday afternoon, we made the idyllic drive from Minnesota to the Driftless Area of Wisconsin for the annual National Fishing Lure Collectors Club Fishing Tackle Show. It was near dusk as we pulled up to the Ho-Chunk Casino in Baraboo...
Tom: Thanks. Your Pennys Marathon today looks great on you!
scooter: Ryan certainly wasn't complaining, it was Lydia who was bemoaning the deft machinations of the young ladies! lol I hear you regarding the upper Midwest cold weather, but as the saying goes, you just have to dress in...
A mid-morning start to a slightly warmer and gloriously beautiful Sunday.
Bedford Hats/Percy FitzGerald-Boston "Special".
An intriguing felt and ribbon color combination which is difficult to characterize, the felt can best be described as bluish-green, with the ribbon leaning to...
Autumn Homecoming
Homecoming week is a special time for Ryan and his school mates. A week to celebrate school pride and spirit and to enjoy the camaraderie of good friends, capped off with a day of corsages, formal dress, a photo shoot, a fine meal, and dancing until midnight. This past...
Welcome, Lynx, and a pair of nice Mallory fedoras. Your estimate as to vintage is accurate. Both date to the 1960s, mid to late, possibly even early 1970s for the first example.
I am always impressed with the variety and quality of hats displayed in this thread, and this weekend was another stellar one. Kudos to everyone!
Fine choice this early Autumn morning, David!
