Ran some errands today in a modern Excellent Strat.

I am wearing my NOS Knox One Hundred today. Yes, I know that Alan bought it from someone else, and Lotsahats bought it from Alan, but none of the previous owners really wore it.

This hat is new.
I intend to wear it often. It is my best hat, and I've always thought that if you keep stuff locked away it is practically the same as if you didn't have it at all.

A hat (or anything) as rare as that would be a special occasion item for me. I’m a preservationist, though.

I once read that Jacques Cousteau's crew found some bottles of wine in an underwater shipwreck, hundreds if not thousands of years old, in the Mediterranean.

What did Jacques do? He drank them all.

Oops! I looked for the news article on the net, and I misremembered. The wine was bitter! [emoji2]

Still, don't ever let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Hey all!
It's been a long stretch of cold windy rainy and just plain miserable weather here in the 707. I was so happy to see the sun and not hear the howling wind (for about an hour or two) that I had to throw on this entry level Borsalino Panama that I found in a thrift store a couple days ago. 4 bucks well spent. I've been doing my best to avoid buying any more new old hats, but when the fish jump in the boat... :D

Now, back to trench coat and umbrella for a while longer... brr. Winter can be over any time now.
Have a great day!

I'm in southern Texas, about as south as you can get in it, and it's windy and chilly.

Today sunny Sunday almost spring, time for a Barbisio made during the last years of the hat factory of Sagliano Micca

When it was decided, infamously, to put the logo on the bow to compete with the great rivals

The shapes are typically Italian from the 70s and the shape was made with a mold in production

The finish is of quality, what excels is felt as color and quality

It is the right hat for the green coat in a sunny day

Have a nice Sunday!
Thanks for the likes and appreciation

It started life as a Penman "The Penman" that I picked up here on the lounge, but it was too small for me. I love the hat and someday plan on picking up one in my size from John... maybe with a 2-3/4" brim.... (hehehehe)

I liked the 6 point diamond it came with and didn't change a thing.

I dug it, as well, but I am a bit, um, narrower than many here and the width of the 6-point didn't suit me well. I tried a center dent which works better for me.
