My grin adequately expresses how pleased I am that I was able to deliver that valuable service to you.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!
Very creepy-cool.My grin adequately expresses how pleased I am that I was able to deliver that valuable service to you. View attachment 65200 [emoji6]
Thanks buddy.That's a good look.
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.

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

That's pretty neat. Could probably do something similar with cut nails too. That gave me some ideas.
