Thank you, sir. Bowlers are indeed a favorite of mine.
Thank you for your sentiment. The lady has an appointment for an X-Ray this afternoon, hopefully it will help the medics to diagnose her problem.@GHT Reading your posts across the Lounge, your wife sounds like a charming woman and delightful companion. I wish her a speedy recovery and you both good health.
That is really a magnificent Homburg, The colour compliments the hat to great effect.Wearing a dark Royal Stetson homburg today, a woman at the hardware store mentioned that I looked "very dapper today".

Just an update on Tina. Her problem is arthritis, probably hereditary, painful none the less. She will be having a course of osteopathy to see if that can help:
An osteopath will release muscle tension around the affected joint, improve the range of movement and encourage better joint health by promoting blood and lymph flow to and from the area. This will reduce pain and inflammation whilst also increasing flexibility.
Yesterday I joined the scrummage known as: "Christmas shopping." Every year I buy Tina her favourite fragrances and a few surprise gifts too. I can't give too much away because I know that she will probably be reading this, won't you dear?
My hat got some great remarks but the shoes that I wore, got just as many. The best being a tease: "Will those shoes ever come back into fashion?" A young fellow teased. "Would you wear them?" I replied. "Oh yes," he said, "and if I could find a similar hat, I would wear that too." "Google fedora," I suggested. His lady scribbled it down.
Mentioning Tina earlier, she thought that the hat and blazer stripes were a colour match, I agree, I rather like it and judging by yesterday's comments, so do others.

You are right about age, when you have been around the block a few times you don't even think about what others might say, let alone care.This past weekend, I was checking out at Aldi (wearing my Major Moore Buckaroo western) and the young man said, "I really like your hat, but I don't think I'd have the confidence to wear it." I told him, "It's easier than you'd think. But then again, at my age, I don't care what others think about it."
Got onto an elevator with two older gentleman… one of whom was wearing a fairly worn at the pinch modern Panama… the other notices my Croydon and says.. ”Look at that Hat!” The gentleman with the Panama says…. “heck of a lot nicer than mine” doffing his hat and crumpling the pinch. Before I could say anything in response… The first one then says to me…. “Are you carrying a gun and a holster under there… pulling up his shirt tale a bit and point to my waist.…. Just As the elevator door opened and we all went our separate ways.
