What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Looks great in black. Love the red liner

That's a beauty Bob, inside and out.

Thanks Joe and Steve! The felt has a really nice hand. I bought the hat as new-old-stock from a small town men's wear store near here. The proprietor just recently closed the store due to a cancer diagnosis. He is in his 90s.

Wow! What service to his local community. He must really have loved his store and his customers. Hope he pulls through and has many more years ahead of him to enjoy his well earned retirement.

Michael, never mind under the fur. At -25, get back in the house!
Just got to dress for it, Steve. Although I should have traded the sheepskin boots for some pac boots today. We have two or three days of worse coming at us over the weekend.

Nice looking bowler for cooking duties tonight. Time to fire up the oven for nice long braise.

Thanks,
Michael

What's for dinner, Chef Steve?

It was so cold in the kitchen this evening. Thankfully, this Lock & Co Bowler kept my head warm :) View attachment 309485

For about ten years almost every day I wore a pair of Dr Martin brown leather lace ups just like these. Beat up patchwork old baseball mitt looking leather shoes that seemed like they walked right out of a bowling alley. About five years ago one of our then pups got to em and tore one up enough that my wife convinced me to toss them out. And I thought “hey I can just grab another pair” well I didn’t find any right away and then managed to forget what brand they were... even pickup up a couple pairs of Skechers that were of a similar style... but never quite the same. Then after I had given up hope... out of the blue... low and behold... at random a pair identical to my long lost shoes... but just like new... popped up on my eBay Home Screen. They arrived today. Just as beautifully ugly as I remember. Let the... “hey.. going bowling” comments commence.
