Cracked open a bottle of Shiraz that I bought in Australia. Very nice.
Etsuko made an excellent pasta to go with it.
Today‘s hat was a Fed IV, but no pics.
My niece gave us a bottle of Fuji-Sanroku as a thanks for putting her up and showi her around a bit recently. Today we cracked it open. It’s a pleasant enough drop. Probably not one we’d purchase for ourselves,, but we will certainly enjoy sipping it, and all the more since it came from a...
I steamed a front pinch into my 1960s Akubra Stylemaster last night, and wore it today. I believe it originally had a front pinch (as do the modern Stylemasters), but the previous owner clearly held this hat by the crown pinch. The felt is so thin there, I wasn’t sure if it would hold the...
I just picked it up recently to go with my leather jackets. I was wearing my light leather jacket to start the day before it got too hot. It’s a Supima Cotton T-shirt from Uniqlo.
Trying to fit in another favourite before it gets too hot. I was pushing it today, and I don’t think there’ll be many more felts. Anyhow, today’s was the Hornskov Mogul.
.Etsuko has gone to straw allready, with a Toucan Collection hat
I too struggle with the cattleman’s crease. I do still. Have a Resistol with one, which often garners compliments, but I’ve changed the other one I had. I much prefer the new crease you’ve given it. Well done!
When watching barbecue videos on YouTube, I often wish it could transmit the aromas. Right now, I’m glad that technology is not available on my iPad, because this way, it just seems that you”ve got yourself a stunner of a hat. I’m sure it’ll get there eventually.
I’m sure it will look great once you’ve worked your magic on it.
Small point: I’ve always understood HAS to be Hat Acquirement Syndrome. It often (more often than not) develops in parallel with a hat addiction.
Stetson Custom V for a wine festival over the last couple of days as I do my best to get a little more wear from my favourites before the straw season really hits..
Etsuko went for a Palm Straw Tula.
She was right next to me when I opened the page. Before I had a chance to hide it, and without seeing the poster’s name, she exclaimed in an incredulous voice “Did he buy another one!?”
And we all knew.
The next day we went to a soy sauce brewery which has been in operation for over 300 years and is one of, if not the oldest in Japan (and therefore most likely, the world). I know the owner/brewer through school contacts.
I didn’t get pictures inside this time. It’s the second time I’ve taken...
