Great looking lids everyone. It's 48 degrees here in the Central part of Ohio. Fall is definitely making an entrance.

Wearing a very rare late '40s Imperial in Suede Finish this A.M. Very soft finish. I've only seen two more like it and no one so far has been able to find a model name for it. There's a Lounger who has one that gives a little more information on it as far as year and price. It seems to have been a $16.50 hat from 1949, pre dating the Stetson Tijuana.

This is the actual color of the hat, Greyish Blue

Poor lighting doesn't give the actual color in the pictures

Unfortunately, it's a bit snug on me.

Wow! That is a great hat all the way around. Wow!

Thanks Richard. Vintage OR or wingtips? The OR is probably '50s, the wingtips are made in USA Dexters. So I guess the shoes are older than 2002 or so. Probably '80s or 90s. I could be mistaken on that.

While I was out for an afternoon bicycle ride I was wearing this vintage cap.

And you may notice the shoes are different, slightly.

While I was out I found these Allen Edmond Macneils, which may or may not join my shoe stable.

Thanks

Great work horse shoe. I wore mine to work today. I have them in black shell. Great color and pebble grain. My vote add them to your rotation.

Work to do and my old chainsaw which I replaced last year with an inexpensive one gave up. Just gave up! Hard learning expressed in crass words of frustration this morning. When you need a chain saw nothing else will do. Off to the hardware store this morning in an vtg. Emerson fedora.

I prefered my Stihl "vintage chainsaw" which was a bit less than 1/2 the price of a new one. Duh! IF my last Stihl is indicative this chainsaw should be my last chainsaw - lasting 25+ years.

Hats: Lovely Emerson. The ribbon treatment is special and different. A very nice change.

Now for the fallen limbs and brush that washed up on the shore.

Eric -
Good choices, hat and chain saw

Black shell and there would be no question about the rotation. ha ha. They are a nice shoe for sure. I have a pair of vintage Royal Imperials in nearly the same color of pebble grain that may fit me a bit better. That's where the question comes in.

Thanks,
Michael

Well some of us are more wooly than others. I really need the oil, and of course the wax for the stache. I agree that sandlewood combs are great tho.

Agreed. I can tell a huge difference if I don't use the balm or oil for a couple of days. If I am just hanging round the house for a few days, I get lazy and just comb the beard and the hair without any product. Then I can tell a huge difference with texture, dryness, tangles, etc. The oil and the balm go a long way.
