My whiskey Gannon hasn't left my head much since it showed up on my front porch in November.

Great look Kuki
Thank you Bob!

One I just finished and suspect that won't leave my head anytime soon.

Don't blameyou! Great colour on you and very versatile

Hey everyone!
A few weeks ago I posted a Dobbs Homburg from the early 40s that I foolishly placed a bid on without asking for measurements. Nobody else put in a bid against me. Two sizes too small, it turned out. I had not had much luck stretching anything more than one size, but then mmbarnes mentioned he has a secret technique for a two-size stretch, and I was intrigued. In a PM, he revealed his closely guarded method. I can't divulge any of the details, all I can say is that it does NOT directly involve Voodoo, hot 'n' spicy pork rinds, calculus or Flubber. Although a Flubberized hat would be both incredibly cool and more than a little dangerous. Anyhoo, using some of my ideas and his, I achieved a quite satisfactory stretch with no damage to leather, felt or thread.

I decided on a non-traditional crease for this one.
Have a great day!

Hey Moe I hope it didn't involve head shrinking of some sort! That would do the trick ;-)

Cold and windy with fresh snow. A vintage P&J Haggarts cap fit the conditions.

Made by what was then a small shop in Aberfeldy Scotland.

Enjoy. I'm in the house for the day I think.

Great look Michael and lovely matching cap and coat. You mentioned the sweater is made in Spain but the brand does not sound familiar...

Wesslyn - AWESOME!! What a treat. And that Biltmore ain't too bad, either.

Strapped - Great hat. Great ensemble. Sharp!

Kuki - You are as elegant as ever. Love the tilt.


I'm in my steel gray 50's Borsalino.

Not supposed to be spending time looking at screens or thinking complex things because of post concussion syndrome. I got it (not from Moon's Vitafelt Strat) but from a sleep related accident caused by a very bizarre dream!

That kind of weirdness is akin to successfully committing suicide by bow and arrow. But somehow, I managed to pull it off.

Nonetheless, been peeking in and enjoying everybody's groovy headwear. Not reading the posts too much, though.

Be well & godspeed!
Be good and recover, and like my nephew said when he was little, there might be need for a sleeping helmet! (he was prone to falling out of bed).
Great hat as always.

Very classy and interesting Christine! Love the vintage look of this one, I assume it is your creation?
One of mine Red, thank you for the compliments!

Fine, fascinating fascinator!! Love it!
Thank you!!!

Welcome, Rafterman, and great first post on WHAYWT.



Super cool. I was unable to see him in Columbus the other night, though I've been to six shows previously (I've now seen him more than his father). I'm sure the show was good, too - haven't seen a bad one yet. Did you get to meet Scheila G, too? Swooon!




Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Sure did. Met the whole band. All super cool guys and gals

Thank you Cristina. I can't remember if I commented on your cool hat styling of yesterday. Some days I lose my quotes.

I may have misspelled the name earlier, but here is the label on the sweater.

I never could find much info, but I believe it's an Italian firm that was manufacturing in Spain. It's a lovely sweater.

Thanks,
Michael
