I must say that I am sorry not to respond often to your comments.
I enjoy reading what you write about me or about the hats worn
I'm not shy, grumpy and lazy even, much less snooty
I have only one big problem: the language spoken on this forum is not my own and I often find myself in difficulty processing my answers.
I would like to do, but often stumble into the language and lost the right moment everything becomes less interesting, also because our reading times are staggered.
You get up out of bed and I go to lunch
I ask you to understand and do not think me lazy or uninterested.
It's just a matter of speed and appropriateness in the language ........
I will be doing my best to keep alive the flame of European headgear (you know I am in good company, but few are with me in my "crusade" in the Old Continent).
Before to go to bed I thank you and I will try to be more ......live on stage

I think everyone here loves your pictures and your posts, Daniele. I know I do. You do very well with English as a second language and you add so much to this forum with your knowledge and experience, as well as your brotherly spirit!

You certainly speak better English than I do Italian. I've studied German, Tongan, Niuean and Spanish. About all the Italian I know is enough to order some prosciutto, bread and wine at a deli or bistro. I still maintain that the best vacation I ever took was in Italy. I didn't want to go back home. I actually looked for U.S. Dept of Defense civilian jobs to try and land one before my 3 weeks was up.

So, please, continue to brighten our fall days with your posts full of fine hats and friendly banter.

Understood Daniele, but your writing is fine and with the photographs, your thoughts and opinions are beautifully clear and well stated. I think I speak for everyone in saying that the effort you take to share your collection here is enjoyed and much appreciated!

(and I should have known that I could simply +1 a response posted quicker than mine!)

I agree with Alan, Daniele - your English is excellent and I always value your contributions here, both your thoughts and the photos of your hat collection.

I'm good with languages myself; as my LinkedIn profile states, I speak English, American and Texan. Must confess, I'm still learning the Texan.


Cheers!

ripple in the sweat will give away if any shrinkage has taken place

could happen ... and I'm sure it does ... I've never experienced felt shrinkage only sweat shrinkage

From what I've read here, it's not uncommon for older hats. The one with which I have experience is about 30 years old. The sweat is in great shape but I hear creaking when I put in the stretcher. (It's slowly keeping its 7 5/8 size for longer periods now.) Also from what I've read here, that is the felt. The sweat band is in great shape.

I've seen a crown taper ... but never felt shrink where it changes the size of the hat

Maybe someone else will pipe in with their experience and knowledge.

loose ribbon could also just be the result of a poorly made hat

It seems to be a well made hat. It's from Christy's of London.

and I think you mean the break ... where the crown meets the brim

That's the word! My perception is a flange is key to setting the break, hence my confusion of terms.

Still learning so much! Is that right?

That's a sentiment I've shared with people from several countries.

Us? What about the people in his office?

Hmmm, maybe if he had hung his pants, too, he would have to sell some of his hats *help* to help raise bail.

What the hell gave you the idea I was wearing pants?
