For Fawcett Friday...my new VS ArtLite Granite Playboy....REALLY liking this lid!

I'm lovin' that one, Tom! Those vent holes are fantastic. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Hey Alan, is that a Lords hat, or a derby, or what? My wife asked me, and I was unsure of how to answer her question.

 

[BR Gordon]

Alan, That's a great looking bowler. That's a bowler with swagger, it has that "Gangs of New York" look about it.

Tom, looking good. Nice proportions on you.

Alan, that ancient western lid is really something. Turn-of-the-century Cheyenne lives on!

Thanks! Here is a link to pictures of the old dome crowned soft western hat.

I started to type a story with this picture, then decided to let it rest overnight. I was enjoying the night air with Donna, listening to a somewhat loud teenage party across the street. Obviously our neighbor was away (turns out for ten days) and his teenage daughter and 22 year old son were minding the house. The daughter invited some friends over who invited more friends. It turned into a rather large beer soaked event. Private school kids... we watched a dozen of them scootch into a dad's Jaguar for refreshments. I decided to stay out and keep an eye on it and finally walked across the street to make sure they were safe, which of course freaked everyone out. The 22 year old son dispersed the crowd and came over to talk with me. He said they were afraid that some guy across the street with a top hat was going to call the cops. :eusa_doh:

Must have seen you taking pictures of yourself in the old C&K topper.

Good looking lids and portraits, Alan and Tom!

One of my very own..

Killer cap!! Great job! Quite a brim on that. :thumb:

Terrific hat, Tom. I've seen that on you before and commented then, too. I really like the subtle brim shape. And it goes really well with the dark red shirt. Bravo. You've inspired me to buy some red shirts.

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

...and more grey hats!!

Busy day - Knights Trail Run (5K) in morning, coaching my optional gymnasts thru early afternoon (US Gymnastics Women Level 7-10's) and finally back at home. I am longingly looking at the lake and considering getting a boat in the water. The 50'F temps this afternoon are just refreshing.

Best, Eric -

Eric, you're a man on the move!

D'man, I hardly recognize you there. Aviators suit you well!

Great hat! I didn't realize what a nice shade of grey Granite is.

It's got me wondering how an Oxblood ribbon treatment would work with it. Hmmm-

What I wore to work last week. 1950's Adam. The guys at the local hat store where I get my vintage hats serviced couldn't decipher whether it's a fedora or porkpie. I just refer to it as a "Forkpie".

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Quite a ribbon! Is that 2 1/2"? You could also call that a "rib-pie"!

Nice look.
