Thank you Mr Director... do you need you car washed? What about your lawn? I can brush your hats if they need it! loljimmy the lid said:That was a slip, but it wasn't fatal...this time...

I'm happy to hear I'm being an inspiration to your wife, though I've only gotten into real vintage about 2-1/2 months ago. I've worn basically vintage-inspired clothing for a long time. And I love hats!
I hope you continue to encourage her to join in on the vintage fun, and it IS fun! I've always been a love-to-get-dressed-up kind of gal, and vintage is a wonderful new avenue for that!
I need to see Rear Window (been watching old movies since at least 7th grade, but have never seen RW) and look for Grace's hat. Tell your wife I say hi (waving my vintage hankie at her via the computer)! Here's an old movie recommendation for her (and the entire family) that has GREAT ladies' clothes and hats- "You Were Never Lovelier" starring Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth. Fred dresses pretty sharp too.
BTW, I love your avatar pic with your son! What is your uniform, jacket and hat please, AND your son's? Where did you find HIS military hat? Our son would love a military hat of his own (my DH has an authentic WWII Army Air Corp Captain's summer uniform and officer's hat), our young Daniel is a 6-3/4 or 6-7/8 hat size. Is your son's the real thing, I'm assuming it is.

HarpPlayerGene said:Hey Carey,
Mossant was a French manufacturer of fine hats. This one is very vintage.
Other views can be seen here including the way the hat looked (with thin ribbon) when I received it: http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/ii79/harpplayergene/Mossant Paul Paris/
A search on Ebay for Mossant Hat will usually yield some entertaining old advertisements to view or buy.
Jabos said:All the stuff in my avatar is from my grandfather, including both hats. He was a fighter pilot in Europe. When he first got to England he literally found the hat that my son has on. It was much more beat up so he wore it all the time-to look like a battle hardened vet to the other guys. So, the one I have on is in great shape.

I'll tell my wife you are encouraging her. It will just take some time I think. Thanks!

Today went for the Borsalino "stingy" (2 1/4" brim), for the more casual look as I was beering it up after work.

I was coming out of the night shift, too, so the "five-o'clock-shadow" surely contributes to the overall stereotypical image... A co-worker, on seeing me appearing, mentioned he had the impression he had went through a tunnel of time - I took it as a compliment, certainly it beats the "Inspector Gadget" pun!
chanteuseCarey said:Wil Tam, deanglen- really dang nice!
Jimmy the lid, you're killing me with the Borsalino!
Carter, looove it, but what is a pungaree??
Our computer has been hosed (pardon my French) for some time now, and the frustration level has risen to an all time high. DH is finally now gonna have to back up all the programs, reinstall Windows, and then basically reinstall everything else. He will be able to get to his late in the evening after choir practice. So I'm signing off for a while. Catch you all again gents probably in the morning... Sleep well, sweet princes...
