Great hat, Bob. Very unique ribbon.

Suits you well, good luck!
Thanks Justin. The Stratton is a good woods hat. A couple of super looks for you today.

You need a Calabash pipe with that deerstalker cap, Michael.
I wonder if they make a supercharged calabash shaped vaping machine? Although silhouette pictures aside, I seem to remember Sherlock preferred a long clay pipe.

What a great 'shroomin' outfit! Go Stratton!
Thanks Doug. Some variant of this outfit is my go to woodlands outfit. The pants are thornproof and shed water too.

Ranger 'shroom!
Thanks Red. Due to the lack of luck with the Stratton today I will have to go with the Stetson Nutria NPS Ranger hat next time, temperatures permitting.

You look to be on the hunt for something, Michael! Don't give up on hot weather on the 1st day of summer!
I'm sure it will be a long time before the hot weather is gone here. But I was just getting ready to take the cape to the dry cleaners and wanted to see what it looked like. Great Falcon Park look today for you.

Thanks all,
Michael

On and off showers with a morning temp of around 60'F here in Minnesota. Wearing a vtg. Lee Comentator. This green hat I have had for many years. It needs to get worn more often. Lee, at the time of this hat, put factory creases in their line of hats. I bump this hat and it pops right back to the factory crease. Lovely green felt.

Actor Jeremy Brett is probably most known & liked for the part. He chose to smoke a churchwarden but it was not Clay. He didn't wear a deerstalker cap either.

I'm not much of an expert in pipes having smoked only a straight briar and a corncob for the most part. I did find this reference to Holmes, https://www.quora.com/What-kinds-of...according-to-Sir-Arthur-Conan-Doyles-writings . In a vintage store sometime back I saw a couple of long white clay pipes and was tempted to pick one up, but it's a slippery slope.

Even though whoever wrote that , after saying Holmes smoked a variety of Pipes , brier , clay , and cherrywood , but we can't be sure what they looked like . There's a good chance they look like they still do . And the character loved his tobacco , smoking anything he could get his hands on . Throw in a Calabash (or about any kind), and you'll become the Holmes we know from Basil Rathbone's portrayal ... (with a bent Billiard) ...

th


Nice Outfit Michael . I've got a clay , and a few more . Elementary my dear Watson .;)
