I downloaded from your link and then used the attach files function.
We had something similar in my childhood home in New Zealand, but wider with a turntable. Dad had a few albums. Elvis, Johnny Cash, and the Seekers spring to mind, but my favourite was his Victor Borge album with his phonetic punctuation.

One of my favourite Victor Borge skits, Gary. He always had me laughing out loud. One of the greatest things to come out of Denmark. And what a dresser!

I think I had a copy of that Victor Borge piece.

It was pretty funny, or at least people thought so then.

Not sure how funny folks think it is today.

You may be right. My nephew (early 20s) couldn’t find anything to laugh about in the Two Ronnies’ Four Candles/Fork Handles skit. Not even a slight chuckle.
I guess that to him, I’m the strange hat-wearing uncle who travels in some moronic orbit.

Borsalino Gorasgu. I reshaped this hat with a bit of steam and love the way it came out. It’s a 1950s hat but to my eye has a bit of a 1930s look with the tall straight sides and wide ribbon. If anyone has a grey gorasgu in 7 1/8 that they want to get out of the house—let me know!

Weather gets a little cooler after today and I am ready for it.

Cheers,

David

The hat does have a 30's side appearance, IMO. Sharp fedora.

Cheers to all, Eric -

For this morning's shenanigans I wore a gilled ribbon hat very early and switched to thin ribboned hats.

Love it! Might we get a close of up that ribbon work? (for some reason clicking doesn't open a large version of your posted images)

Resistol Ten Ninety Five I picked up on ebay recently. Not quite done playing with the shape yet, but I think this one's a keeper.

Welcome to The Lounge, that's a fabulous sombrero, I was so taken with it that I checked out Akubra to see if there is a straw version. They do a larger brim straw, but the price increases by fifty percent for carriage cost to the UK. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273120117267
