Thanks Gents, he is my 6th grandchild ( ranging from 22 yrs to 14 hours) and as long as I don't have to do diapers I'm a happy camper. Also, this means the wife will be coming home in a week or so..thank goodness, I won't have to continue eating my own cooking:rolleyes:

The Season's Hat

Brown+Cavalier+side.JPG



It's felt season once again, and this season's hat is Art Fawcett's version of a cavalier model in lightweight brown beaver felt. The cavaliers I'd seen in old Apparel Arts illustrations were small floppy hats, and, sure enough, Art's implementation is a smaller-than-his-usual-scale fedora with an unbound brim that should curl nicely over time.

Walking down the street doesn't really call for a hat unless there's a light rain in the forecast (as there was last week) but they are also very handy in an open topped car. I have probably written before that when the sun's high in the sky a hat brim is better than sunglasses for shading the eyes. And when the fog precipitates raindrops, beaver holds up better than other felts.

Like the rest of the day's clothes, hats should be compatible with but not match, and a wardrobe with brown, blue, gray and black hats gives a man the variety he needs to not match in any situation. On the day of the photo I was not matching my chestnut shoes.

And that's the hat for the season.

BobC, I know it went out on today's truck (talked to Pearl, the only driver) so your's may arrive on Friday with any luck.

I have the day off today, so this morning I watched like a hawk for the postman to come by. He stopped in front of our house to put mail in the box but didn't get out of his truck, so I was sure he didn't have Art's hat for me. Next, he drove up the street and made some other stops and TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK. Of course, I thought he had overlooked the box of wonder I am waiting for, but instead HE DROVE RIGHT PAST OUR HOUSE. :eek: :rolleyes: No hat today. Bummer!

Thanks you, Alan. I didn't notice him wearing a hat. I think it was a post office baseball cap. :eusa_doh:
