Big, swollen arthritis knuckles haha. Gettin old is a pisser.

I’m familiar with your pain. This morning my joints and I are still dealing with the front that moved in overnight. Getting old does suck but they say it beats the alternative.

If the alternative is getting younger, I'm all for it.

...and there may be hope

Israeli scientists say they have managed to successfully reverse the biological aging process – using only oxygen.

Recent research led by Tel Aviv University’s Prof. Shai Efrati, together with a team from Shamir Medical Center, found that when healthy adults over the age of 64 were placed in a pressurized chamber and given pure oxygen for 90 minutes a day, five days a week for three months, not only was the aging process delayed - it was actually reversed.

...longer life and longer hat wearing time.

I'm digging this one! Never paid attention to curled brims before, but I like 'em now that I have seen them.
The Akubra Kentucky Rancher is similar.

I have a Kentucky Rancher too. The Akubra has a lot more curl. I have another hat in the works with a 4 1/2” brim that I’m having a big curl put in to eat up some of that brim width...something more like the Akubra Sombrero. Love the curled brims!

Some great hats other than Stetson used to come out of MO. Levine Hat Mfg. Co. Beaver Blend twenty, St. Louis, MO. Boots by Jesse the Bootmaker.

 

[glider]

Levine is still in business, I go to there store a few times a year. I can't get out of there without a couple hats so I don't go very often. It's still in the same family, not the big manufacturing company it once was but they do carry some hats with there name in them. They contract to have them made but good stuff, actually I should go down there next week.

That's a great looking Levine, Cuz. Good color. Nothing whatsoever wrong with any variation of silver belly, it's pretty much the gold standard, but it's nice to step out of it every now and then. Boots are pretty swank as well.

I bought a hip length Duluth Trading Co canvas barn coat or chore coat that I really like the style, with this open crown. I need to set up & shoot some black & white profiles. Wish I had a sepia tone filter or app, if anyone knows of one.

I don't know if it's necessarily the best, but Adobe's Photoshop Camera app is free and pretty easy to use. This is the one of the"vintage" lens filters.

He's making sure you do it right, otherwise he'll leave a present for you on that hat.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jared. I'll take a look & try it out. I sometimes use this mono tone filter but success kind of depends on the lighting & exposure of the original. It's a hit & miss for the look I'm after. But it's obviously nothing like Sepia.

Gosh I remember at the beginnings of photoshop would have to work 100 times as hard and couldn’t come up with an effect like what that app does in the click of a button. Though luckily folks usually wanted the opposite... bring us this and make it new. But now you got me thinking of old actual dark room tricks... sepia... solarization... posterizing.. mixing techniques of light and chemistry

Tonight it was a Stetson One-hundred.

 

[Rmccamey]

I do like the layout and shorter brim on that 100. Very nice.

Out with her yesterday. The NQ and I hardly fit in the Camry.

 

[RossRYoung]

A snug but stylish fit BB. The Noot looks better than ever too!

 

[Bamaboots]

Thanks, Ross. Been boot lazy since the madness began but last week I started trying to clean/condition/ or polish a couple pairs a week. Just so happened these got a fresh coat that morning.
