What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Hurricane Jack]

Nice, Harv!

Tonight I will celebrate 25 years as a member of the Engineers Club of Dayton. Founded in 1914 by Charles Kettering and Col. Edward Deeds. I am privileged to have been on the member rolls that have held Orville Wright, Arthur Morgan, and Hans Von Ohain. I was sponsored originally by Wilson Charbonneau, a grandnephew of Toussaint Charbonneau, who married Sacajawea. It's a big night for me, personally.

So naturally, I'm wearing my Stetson 25.

Congratulations! Interesting about the Charbonneaus.

Taking my new (old) Habig homburg out for a bike ride today. I have decided homburgs are my favourite cycling hats on windy days. More pictures of the hat in the German & Austrian Hutmacher's thread here. Glad to see all of you still looking stylish as ever, and some new faces too!

Like the hat, love the bike ride. Nothing says adventure like a good lid and a bike ride.

Congratulations! Interesting about the Charbonneaus.

Thanks, Jack. My wife and I have always wondered what it was like for him as a kid.

"Aunt Sacajawea, tell us a story!" (In truth, I don't know if he ever met her).

Wilson was an interesting guy himself. He owned several companies and was once the GM of the Burlington Bees Minor League baseball club.

My wife interviewed him once as part of a project she was working on. Here's a guy in his mid-80s complaining, "Technology's not moving fast enough."

I tread the path of large footprints.

Congratulations, Jim. Enjoyed the background info on the club. Sweet 25.

Cool, I like that kind of stuff. Always wondered if everything about Sacajawea was true or how much of it was spun. Read what Lewis & Clark wrote a couple of times. They wrote about finding an abandoned French fort on the river near where I grew up. Just upstream & 20 yrs after L&C paddled by, Francois and Berenice Chouteau paddled in & opened the first trading post on the river.

Fascinating stuff.

I haven't pulled out my Panamas yet, but this Cavanagh Milan isn't a bad repeat...

Bentornata Celia. Magnifico homburg per una gita in bicicletta. Spero vivamente siano finiti i problemi[emoji3]

I'm glad you're back -- and sporting a lovely homburg to boot!

Thanks, Greg. Three more of these and I can trade them for a Stetson 100!

Love the crease on this one Harv. Don't see many Bantams, this one is a treat.

Another 95 degree day on tap, this time with heat index warnings. Didn't stop be from putting on this old 3X Stetson, for the morning at least.

I'm not exactly sure why, but it's currently riding in my all time favorite hat position.

I haven't decided if it's going on my bike ride yet. That might be pushing it.
