On my way to Passover Seder at the home of some dear friends... brought along this old Kippah (yarmulke) that I found at my parents house. It looks a lot like the Kippot that elderly Eastern European immigrant men wore at services when I was a kid. This one was a souvenir from Stephen Wilk's Bar...
No books, but way too many berets thanks to Daan and his extensive collection. The private label Aotearoa are made by the Boneteria Auloronesa - these are very high quality French made berets. I have some Spanish and Japanese made boinas from Flamingo which I like also though they wear and feel...
From Schoble (that other Pennsylvania hatmaker) - a hat I don't wear often but when you need something lilac tinged, it works well. Very nicely made and in pristine condition. It came from the Johnny Phi NOS mother lode... raise a wrinkly hand if you know what that refers to. ;^)
A beautiful crisp spring day is perfect for a semi-annual shpatzir with this Dunlap duplex. Era unknown but my guess is c.1940. Has the Sizor adjustable sweatband which was an HCA feature used around this time.
Birds are nesting everywhere, a sign that it's time to bring out the featherweights... here a charcoal heather Stetson Standard Quality from the mid Depression-era.
Thank you... something about this hat - maybe the deep crown bash - makes the 4" brim easy to wear. I also bring it out mainly on rainy or snowy days, which helps it look "smart." ;^)
Aging with grace... this old Stetson is a nice example of taking what nature throws at you and doing your darnedest to keep on course. I purchased this hat on Ebay from our once active member Justin (splintercellsz). I believe he celebrates his 30th birthday today as I hurtle into my seventies.
