Good on you! As a fellow "Non-traditional Student" I salute you. Oregon State University, Class of 2012, B.A. in History, Suma Cum Laude. Returned to school after 35 years in the working world as a regular shlub!

Some people graduate Summa Cum Laude, some graduate Magna Cum Laude. I graduated Barely Come Out!



Sent directly from my mind to yours.

i flunked out stoned at the bar in the 80s but went back and got a 2:1 in 2012, figured that made me a genius. Still do, if i'd come top of the class i'd have been insufferable.

Whoa, don't know how I missed the important part of the post...
Congrats on the wonderful news!
Are you making him or her a tiny little porkpie yet?

Thanks! Fun fact, I actually know how to crochet, so I'll be making the little guy or girl one of these =)

Royal Stetson genuine balibuntal... perhaps a moisture shedding parabuntal?

97 and 44% humidity = heat index of 106. Another straw.

Late to the party as I try to get caught up on yesterday's and today's posts, but...

...With two adults, two birds and two rabbits, the house is fairly cramped -- but we'll have to make room for one more soon!...

Congratulations my friend!!!! Very exciting news. It does look like we will be experiencing the same thing around the same time as my wife's due date for our second child is Feb 6th. ...

Congratulations to you both, and to Mrs. Blue and Mrs. Garner! Have either of you started a pool yet to see how close the doctors will be to their estimated February 3rd and February 6th delivery dates? And what about a hat fund? Gotta' take care of the important stuff, you know.

After my Pilgrim find, I stopped into my friend's antique store to find she acquired someone's entire hat collection, around 30 to 40 hats. Almost all are in desperate need of TLC, and range in size from 6 3/4 to 7 3/8.
One Stetson Playboy caught my eye, but was sadly 6 3/8. Also an old 30s? size 7 Dobbs bowler.
Anyway, if anyone is looking for something in particular, I might be able to help both my friend and you out!

Keep cool, Michael, in that coconut frond hat! You certainly look cool!

Thanks Doug. Not much chance of keeping cool at 94 with a heat index of 110. I actually put on my Hi-7 for the last couple of trips outside because no sweat evaporates anyway, so no hotter than a straw when it's like this without a whiff of a breeze. Needless to say, I'm not spending any more time then necessary outside.

View attachment 79692 View attachment 79693 You know you are a hat crazy when you smile at a cloudy, cool day in July! Great morning for a lightweight felt and errands.

Great looking hat Red, and feel free to let that cool and cloudy weather slip this direction.

Nice find Wesslyn. Looks like the same model as my Pilgrim thin ribbon. Do you or your friend have a list of brands, models, sizes or a website?

Great look Karl. I like the way they sewed the binding on the brim.

I love that one, Moe. Excellent fedora all the way around!

She is such a cutie! And a hat like this suits her well. You must be so proud.

Love this, what recent find is it?

Her blouse is handmade from Ecuador, too. Proud papa, yep.

That hat is the Portis Anthony sent me. My first thin ribbon, first featherweight and first Portis!

You guys are sure getting hit hard with the heat and humidity. I don't envy you one bit. Nice straw, though!

It's a mishmash. I think I'll head back tomorrow and try to catalogue them.
You're a 7, right?

I'll take any 7 1/4 that you find. That is unless they think they are gold and set the daily market price!
