    What are you wearing today??

    Damn sharp Frank. I got to wear my overcoat the other night at our local state museum fund raiser and I definitely felt well dressed. It's a Columbian cashmere coat tailored in Italy. I found it at Aid Inc. on the rack for $6 but the woman at the register reminded me that winter coats were half...

    ...Mac and the Pantone color swatches? You must be a graphics guy. I used to design phone books before I switched to my landscaping business.

    Jonny. My Walton has a skimpy sweat that cracks easily like that Dobbs. The cracks may not be from stretching (Don't see a bulge in that area) but from a low end sweatband.

    The Conversion Corral

    I had to comment on Manfred's conversion... very cool end result on the two hat project. I am inspired to check my collection for possible projects in the future.

    My Walton Cordova. I have found very little about Walton hats online. Anyone know about the company? The felt is nice but the sweatband is thin and delicate.

    1890's-1900's early hat manufacture HAWES (Hawes Von Gal) HAT CO

    Top hats are so rare now they just give me an excited feeling when I run across them in my travels...I wanted to post a pic of my Walton. Couldn't get permission but I put it as my profile pic. I have not found any info on Waltons online but maybe someone else owns one. It has a British crest...

    Merry Christmas from warm, sunny Dallas, Texas ...

    It's been snowing weekly here since October and it doesn't melt right when it hits the pavement so we have to pile it up and haul it to a dump site. To all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    Merry Christmas from warm, sunny Dallas, Texas ...

    We have a local DJ that had a collision in an unmarked intersection and he raved that we are the worst drivers in the nation. I think he said he's from CA. Not sure why he thinks his listening audience would be ok with an opinion like that.

    Have a merry one all loungers. My aunt said I was so dapper last night when I walked in with my brown Walton Cordova and navy pea coat. I know her father was a well dressed man back in the day.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Upon running into each other at the washroom sink at a theater, a very young high school man just couldn't get over my vintage Stetson with the "real bow tie." He started talking to me and told me he planned to marry the girl he was on a date with that night. I think he looked up to me because...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    ...Not sure about drenching a felt hat. Steam usually is the preferred method to shape a hat. Are those blotches of paint on your hat or is it the sun poking through the trees?

    That hat shop looks like a very cool place to hang out. I had my dad's old hat restored and had the brim trimmed quite a bit but it still retains a bit of a western look...maybe Aussie. Anyway I finally had a custom fedora made. Then I started collecting vintage hats. I'm excited to show them...

    Great. Hard to find them when they're not advertised. All mine were stumbled upon as well...except my custom - stumbled a bit when I got the bill.
