Today begins the official wearing of my 1942 Rose Bowl lid from Mike at NW Hats. The university is celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the 1942 Rose Bowl (which Oregon State won, beating Duke). I'll be sporting a vintage 40s Pilgrim tie and my A-2. Today's activities involve me being on a panel discussing the history on a local sports radio show, "the Joe Beaver Show" and attending a lecture by the author of a book about the game. I did the research from the OSU archives for his work. The hat is specifically styled to match an image from the 1942 Beaver Yearbook.

Tomorrow is the Homecoming game and I'll be talking Beaver History in the "Men of the Roses" display tent.

Super Friday to all! We're going WIiiiide today; wide ribbon and a 2-3/4" brim (sorry, Joao - Stingy?)

One of my favorite vintage "children," an M&K Hatters of Los Angeles felt from the 40s, in green/gray.

On a side note of caution to all of you, in an MRI this week, we confirmed a full diameter tear of the supraspinatus of my left shoulder, the dominant side rotator . Orthopedist says it was likely caused by excessive selfies... maybe. Another ordeal, but only a bump in the road.

Great lid, Charlie. Sorry about the shoulder. So does this mean you're giving up on your dreams of pitching for the Sox?

Every Friday is "Aloha Friday" for me... has been for about 8 years now. Gonna be sunny and 62F here today; time to break out the shades, a nice Hawaiian shirt, and a fine lid. Hmmmm... looks like it's also going to be "Falcon Park Friday!"

No lighting at all this morning so the colors don't show well at all. This one is rabbit felt in Silverbelly with a 2" dark blue-grey ribbon, and about 2-3/8" on the brim. Front crease stands 4-1/2" tall, with a simple teardrop crease on the crown. Sweet hat I picked up here on the FL.

I like this hat very simple and elegant
It could be very near to the Classic NW Hats show as "basic" choice

Today the sun is still shining and the hot, for the period, increase
E' l'estate fredda dei morti.
It is a tradition to believe that in that period, All Saints and All Hallows, there is in Italy the last sight of summer.
Daily walk to the office in Borsalino...how lucky I'm

Bought some days ago it is one of my favorite of these days of flowers (chrysanthemums) and candles

It is very confortable and was made, probably in the sixties, with a soft felt "spago" color

In the morning it was pleasant to walk, but at noon it was hot
