    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Thanks! When all was said and done, I publicly posted my congrats to BOTH teams. They both deserved to be there, and I would have been satisfied had the Astros won; that the Nats were IN the Series was good enough. That they won, and in such a Cinderella fashion, was just terrific! And I was...

    It was with some trepidation that I ordered an orange fedora, but the price was right and it was the last one. It arrived today, and not only does it fit perfectly, the color is also spot on! It's a Pantropic Skylar LiteFelt in burnt orange. I'm gonna keep it (and it will probably see a lot...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    In another thread I expressed my frustration in finding hats of the right color, given that model photos rarely show a hat's true shade. Well, I found the last remaining Pantropic Skylar in Burnt Orange today and ordered it. The price was reduced, and I figure that if it isn't what I want when...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    It's one of those autumnly-low-sun-in-the-sky days, so I grabbed my Stetson Ruggles as I headed out the door.

    Less common colors

    For the next few days, I'm going to be wearing red. Or a combination of red and other colors.

    Less common colors

    It's not that I can't find orange hats online (and to the others who suggested blue/navy, I have about four already), it's that I can't trust the color rendering in the photos. I'd like to think they're accurate, but frequently I find the photography is stock, studio stuff and not truly...

    Less common colors

    I'm going through a bit of a dilemma. I wear a lot of orange. I guess it's the runner in me, as orange running apparel is highly visible, and I don't want to get clobbered by a car while I'm out running across a road, or otherwise run during fading light. I carry this quirk with me, as I...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I just returned from a walking tour of Vienna, Austria. Since I could only take one hat, I chose my navy blue Stetson Frederick, which I wore every day, everywhere. It coordinated well with my clothing, and kept my head and eyes protected from the late summer sun, wind and rain. Oddly enough...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There is a growing preponderance of vehicles in my area sporting bumper stickers that announce the driver is "new," a "student" or somehow otherwise incapable of driving in accordance with the law and the social contract. What gets me is these are permanent stickers!!! I mean, really?

    anyone a travel minimalist?

    After some twenty-five years of frequent travel with the same suitcase, I had to finally replace it. It was a Briggs & Riley, and even though they are a bit pricey, I think they are well worth the few extra $$. My replacement is a carry-on size roller (because I hate checking luggage). A...

    Post New Hats Here!

    After a bit of a dry spell, I finally acquired a new hat. I nearly sent it back, because (a) it was 1/4 size too large and (b) it had a bit of a warp to it. I let it sit for a day (lightly massaging it from time to time) and put some spacers in the headband, and now I think I like it. This is...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks! I've upped my exercise regimen quite a bit these days, and keeping the sun off my face and ears while I'm soaking up the Vitamin D and staying cool is of paramount interest.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    It's been a while since I pulled the trigger on a new hat. So, I was web surfing today and found a nice Stetson shantung on sale, so I went ahead and ordered it. Should arrive in about three days.

    Thank you. Yes, I did. It was special in that it marked the 50th state I've visited! It gives new meaning to the saying, "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!"

    I haven't posted any new hats here, but not due to the lack of trying. But I just got back from vacation and realized I'd picked up a hat then! :)
