That really is a lovely cap. I've been dithering on whether or not to treat myself to a baker boy cap. Just can't make my mind up:

Have to agree with you about the weather, on our side of the pond we have had a cold snap but now the balmy days of autumn have reappeared. My poor Biltmore, in and out of it's box like the hokey cokey.

Thanks, Jeff.

Yeah... It is that Knox that I remember. Just extraordinary. I love those tall crowns from 100 or so years back.

And the vents... such a cool idea. If I had been a consumer back in the day, that innovation would have sucked me right in (great marketing gimmick regardless of the real cooling effect, which I suspect was minimal. I mean, how much circulation could really be created by those little vents?). Steve has some great European vented examples I think.

Probably going to have to give up on my dream of the vintage brown derby at some point. If you have a chance, it'd be great if you would private message me the names of some of the custom folks out there now with whom you have been the most pleased.

Happy hatting, my friend.

Matt

Because I am a doofus, when yesterday I saw bowlerman's sweet post with the liner from his Finchley Establishment originated derby, I decided that today I'd wear my '50s C&K homburg sold out of their Chicago location. Thanks for directing me towards wearing this hat today, Jeff.

I love the colors on this this thing. Reminds me of outer space. Cosmic...

Last evening, we returned to VB and I am now off to rescue our dogs after their two days of compulsory meditation at the kennel. Hopefully, their period of reflection has brought each of them closer to puppy nirvana.

I hope that you each are well and have a great Saturday.

Such a classy hat! I'm really loving this company's liners with the red line detail. Want. envy.

Good morning. Our mild winter weather is stopping the ice from forming on the lake. I have been down by the lakeshore watching the local ducks enjoying clear feeding.

Pendleton from head to toe this morning.
