In for a rainy day it looks like, so as soon as I finish my coffee I'm going to rework this older VS more to my liking. A great hat otherwise. The color is actually a medium gray.

After yesterday's rework. The brim has plenty of flange in it & no amount of ironing was going to take much of that out. So after ironing I like it best with brim up. I opened up the front pinch a bit also. The Diamond is great but now with the brim up I'm tempted to go with a center crease. Coffee from Dunkin.

I agree, the brim up looks good!

Great work on this VS Jack. I really like that color, is it one of Art's specials like the dove gray?

Ahh, the old Glenlivet...
Talisker is might nice too.
This is the last of the Glenlivet Founders Reserve (no age statement) that I bought to try for "bar stock" when it was on sale.

I have a bottle of the new Lagavulin 8 which is said to be very good but I haven't opened it yet. If 8 goes over it will probably limit availability of 16 & the price of 16 will go up. Lagavulin is my favorite Islay.

And I located & reserved a bottle of Arran Robert Burns from the Isle of Arran, which supposedly sold out in 2016. Haven't picked it up yet.

Made a Whisky run to pick up the Robert Burns on hold, & grab a bottle of Glenfarclas before the sale ends today. Sales starting tomorrow will probably be Irish Whiskeys.

A man's a man for a' that!

Let me know how you like the Rabbie Burns whisky Jack, I'd never heard of it before. I do like the Island malts.
Irishes are good too.

I think the Arran's Distillery reopened after being closed & laid down their first new Whisky in 1995. The Robert Burns hit the market in 2016 & sold out I was told, & I didn't get any. Been looking for some ever since.
