Thanks mmb!
I almost bought a Garfinckel hat off ebay a while back just so I could make bad jokes like that, but passed on it. I was uber thrilled to see you post this one so I could let the Simon and Garfunkel wisecracks fly!
My grin adequately expresses how pleased I am that I was able to deliver that valuable service to you.

Love that hat!

Today, I am test driving a hat that I bought several years ago but have had in a box for that time for reasons I will likely detail in the Homburg Nation thread.

The felt on this (what I believe to be a '40s creation) exceeds the quality of my similar vintage Vita-Felts. I have no idea which maker Julius Garfinckel & Co. contracted for their store branded hats, but whoever it was... they did one hell of a job.

Garfinkel's was a high-end department store in DC. I remember it being quite the place, even when I grew up in the area in the '80s. For a long time, it was the parent company of Brooks Brothers. And Mr. Garfinkel, was a much admired, largely solitary but very kind-hearted man. He died in 1936 and the store collapsed into bankruptcy in 1990. A link about the store and another about Mr. Garfinkel are at the end of my post.

Out and about on a cold, wet Saturday. Mallory Dallas in solidarity with Roger's acquisition.

Goats and ducks...feels like an afternoon on the farm.
Have a great day!

Sent from thin air using electricity and other wizardry.

Moe, that Gamebird is probably my favorite hat of yours, and right up there as one of ,y favorites on the lounge! Cool jacket too!

Great job Terry!

Sorry you're feeling bad, Rick. That hat makes me feel good.

Thanks Greg. These extreme weather changes and cedar pollen has hit me hard!

Damn! So many great hats today. Wish I had the time to comment on each one but duty (SHE) calls.

Great to see you Michael! Hope life is treating you well.

Any day, right? Mallory has to be one of my favorite brands.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. That Strat should help.




Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks Jim! From time to time I ponder selling my Premier Strat, as it doesn't get the head time it deserves, but not today!

Mallory is definitely one of my favorite brands as well.
