Under the category of "If you've got a holiday, I'll celebrate," I wish the world a joyous PURIM, the Jewish Mardi Gras!! (No beads necessary!) It was yesterday.

Wearing "Old English Hatters of Monte Carlo" of an undetermined age (manufacturing techniques remained the same for several decades, so guesses have ranged from the 1930s to the early 1960s). Open crown to start, but I installed a dent and some gentle pinches later. I may even snap down the brim!

And it has a BB!

If you get a chance to celebrate anything: take it! The dent and pinches suit the hat well. And I like it brim up.

Borsalino

Cheers!

I've come to the conclusion that one cannot have enough borsalinos. This is a perfect illustration to prove it...

Love that Knox Matt. The ribbon is the berries for sure. The bow is so showy!


Very cool Bob!


I kick myself for not grabbing this beauty Jim. Glad you did though, this way I can still admire it from afar.


Brim Richard, brim!


Great lines Perry, cool tie!


Love that green cap, and blue Gannons are super. Evergreens as hat racks matter.
Thanks Mike.

That blue bad boy you got there is great. It reminds me of my Dobbs Fifteen.

Eric's observation is reinforced. Blue hats most certainly matter.

And... DOWN.

Not much of a shocker to find me enjoying wearing my new Archer cap this morning. Dog walk and yard chores in wool. Green caps matter.

Starting the grill for a pork roast, roasted potatoes while wearing a blue Gannon (charcoal trimmings). Blue hats matter.

Best, Eric -
Lovely blue hat, Eric. Super colour combination with the grey trimmings.

Heading south to see a man about a hat. Wearing the new Lees fedora from Stefan on a trip to NW Hats in Eugene. I'll make sure to say hello to all your hats in process while I'm there. This Lees has a brim curl that I'm still undecided about. Brim up or down. I don't usually go all "Bob" with my non Homburgs. This one might stretch my comfort zone.

Glad to see it fits you so well, Mike. The unusual flange puzzled me too. Can't get enough of that colour though.

Beautiful lid, Jim!!! I don't recall seeing it before. Am I getting like my mother, or is it new to you?

I snagged it out of the Bay a couple months ago, believe it or not as the only bidder. Apparently, Mike and I think deadlyhandsome were also watching it, but didn't bid (hence Mike's comment). I posted it at the time on new hats, but you were away a bit at the,l time.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.
