Quite a gloomy Friday here - rain and snow mix. Just grabbed the ol' standby, a plain black Huckel fedora. Nice 'n easy like.

DeKalb, IL Stopped by a B & K in Dekalb, IL - couldn't get the store number. But Classic Style was in both the tower and on the rack, although hard to see behind other magazines in the rack. So I moved them forward. Best, Robert

The Perfect Fix Living near the Windy City has left me with this same conundrum. Wind biting exposed ears. I wear a hat and thought about earmuffs but don't want to look sissyish as Mr. H put it. My simple soution keeps my ears warm, yet still make me appear manly with a capital 'M'...

It arrived! At long last my wait is over. Just received my copy yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. MK, excellent job! This first issue was not only as stylish as expected but informative as well. I enjoyed the vendor ads as much as anything else, I think. I look forward to the...

July 14th, 1966 Wow, that just FEELS old

Well, if nothing else Rick, that hat is certainly custom and one of a kind! It's the new oblong chic! Best, Robert

Manners It is my opinion that Veronica that Veronica is correct in some of her assertions as to dress codes. I do not believe, however, that hers is the final word on those subjects. I have followed her posts and will certainly consider some for future invitations and manner of dress. I...

Another great topper Incredible hat, Johnny! I am truly taken aback by that hat - the color and the ribbon are perfect. And I'm looking forward to having the holidays behind me so that I may join you in the Art Fawcett hat membership club. Each new hat from VS just confirms to me that...

I have to do the larger brims - 2 1/2" to 3" because of my round ol' noggin.

I'm right there with you, RedPop. I don't look to these actors for much myself either. Unfortunately, there are others that do. It boggles my mind. I do give them some scrutiny from time to time, just to kind of test the waters, so to speak, and steel myself for their next trend. I always...

When in a real pickle, I find it wise to simply quote Yosemite Sam. You know, "galoot", "durned", "sahr-sper-illy" and the like. But being a gentleman, I stay away from "rooten-est tooten-est". Call me old-fashioned. Best, Robert

If I'm not mistaken, Dinerman, that bash can also be used to form pita pockets and crepes. Seriously though, I don't think I've ever seen one quite like that. Very curious. Best, Robert

Thank you lads! This is exactly the conversation I was hoping for. To not only hear what everyone thought about the colors in general, but what their particular palates were. I appreciate the openness from everyone. I'm mostly a brown-type guy myself. I tend to stay with earth tones...

I agree Rick...I know there are a few of us who for that $26 would be wearing the box.... Best, Robert
