Great hat, and great car. More pics of the Volvo?

Waiting for a meeting to start. Late 50's Stetson 7X Clear beaver, 3 1/4 inch raw brim. Originally had a center-fire creased crown and the side brims were turned up like wings wanting to flap. Just steamed it into this shape today.

Nice job on the crease.

Thank you very much, here's 1 of the Volvo just recently. It's a good little car.

I desperately wanted to be a Volvo guy in the 1960's but I found them really hard to work on...especially the carburators. So I gave up the dream and went back to VW's.

Love it! That color is classic.

VWs are cool too. I like the old Volvos but my wife actually picked this car out, it's "her car" but we both drive it and I maintain it. I'm a bit of a hobby mechanic.

I have some that maybe a Denmark customer might be interested in, if you happen to be a 7 1/4, (U.S. size).

Thanks Terry. You know I've always wanted a T Jones refurb.

I'll pm you, buddy.

Sunny, warm day in a Dark gray 7 3/8 Stetson Fifteen 3X.
Guess you could say I’m a Gay(happy)Prince that hasn’t been whipped.
But be careful how you might say it to my face.

The professors drove Volvo 144's and the students with money drove VW's. I had a '59Ghia and '64 Beetle.

Last night and today, the Gannon Mr. Natural.

Stetson Select Quality

I wore my Gannon Highwayman this morning, a little on the damp and chilly side today.

Wonderful looking Agnoulita, Brent. Love the colour and that wide ribbon and bow treatment.

I also admire the way you've stuck with the company and helped Mr. P to up his game along the way. Cudos!

The car that I dreamed of in my student days was one of those sports cars that you always see a Spitfire pilot driving in war movies.

Then as a young graduate I went from single to married, mortgage and debt, such is life.
The greasy pole beckoned, my job came with a company car, the MG got forgotten.
The next 30 odd years or so just flew by, now we own our home outright, debt is in the past
and would you believe, we had a few shekels in the bank. That MG dream returned, what's
more, the lady wasn't against the idea, but she did point out that open top cars and hay
fever were not a good match. No problem, MG kindly did a sedan version, or saloon, as we
Brits describe sedan. They called it The MG Y-Type.

That TD is wonderful and brings back some great teenager memories. My parents bought and restored a 51 MG TD that same color. I got to drive it often. What a fun and cool car. I’ve been a MG fan ever since. Your Y type is something I never knew about. It’s gorgeous.

Well I’m still kicking and on the path of recovery from the hip replacement. I’ve graduated from the walker to the cane which has give me some freedom to get out of the house. My loving wife took me out to a nearby tap house this evening for a pint of ESB. I chose a Stetson 15X which I think goes with my new cane nicely enough. It was wonderful. We were only there about 45 minutes and it wore me completely out. I’m in my jammies now and ready for bed.
