Bought a double-breasted, black cashmere blend in a thrift shop this summer fro $1.80

What about the Stacy Adams Sondrio spectator? I like them, but the square toe bothers me. Whattaya say?

I broke out the tried and true grey Royal Stetson today.

One of my unsung favorites, CI's El Mejor Espresso!

I picked up a sweet navy blue Knox at our "trade day". Says "KNOX, custom edge on the sweatband. Perfect fit, in box, 6 bucks!

Rocky Patel Edge. Got a Gurkha Viper in a box press for my buddy. I had not seen those before.

wear the black one; you wear it well

I just read "Poodle Springs" started by Chandler and completed by Robert S. Parker after Chandlers's death. A good read and a better buy, 10 cents at the Salvation Army.

Thanks, Andy. my mother ruined one of my straw hats snatching it off my head when I wore it indoors. If in the house was bad, at the table was worse. The "ballcappers" wearing theirs while dining just represents the generalized lack of civility in the 21st century.

I wore the vintage Stetson bowler. Bought for $40 on e-bay; sold new at Sweet's in Riverside, CA for $10. A perfect fit!

I just picked up a nice J.C. Penney marathon, a 3x beaver. I assume it was mad for Penney's by a known hat manufacturer. Any ideas?

yanks are evil empire as braves fans know; go rangers

Got some RP Decades for birthday, haven't tried them yet

Butane lighters all require TLC. Cigar Intl. sends a nice "how to" with every shipment; it is probably available on their web-site.

I have a short-brimmed, silver belly Stetson with a rare horseshoe crease. I always call it my "goin' to see Hank" hat. I wore it to the "Family Tradition" exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame last fall. It was the closest I ever got to seein' Hank.
