I plan on instructing my estate to put my hats up for sale at low prices using my account here at the Lounge. At least they will go to someone who appreciates them.
Take a look at the Akubra line available from David Morgan https://www.davidmorgan.com/shop/category/2_22/hats/akubra-hats/. I have had a Adventurer (aka Federation) and a Bushman (aka Squatter) and both hold up to Seattle weather just fine.
I have tried several specialized beard trimmers over the years. On the advice of my barber, I finally picked up a professional quality "Whal Senior" hair clipper and guide combs and will never go back. It took a few tries before I was comfortable with using it, but the powerful clipper makes it...
The week long Noir City Film Festival returns to Seattle's historic Uptown Cinema in less that a week!
Tenuki and I have series passes, so we will be going each night. If you can't see everything, here are my selected highlights:

I love...
Gorramit! I got the suit, but the jacket was too tight in the shoulders for me to wear. :(
I was tempted to hang onto it as a "If I loose 10 lbs it might fit" suit, but that never works. It is on it's way back to the seller who was gracious enough to accept a return. Keep an eye out for a new...
Thanks for the support everyone! I don't see how I could not wear this suit. We will see how close the fit is once I get it. I'll ask my taylor to save as much of the material as possible during the fitting and preserve the labels as well. I'll be sure to post pictures once it's ready to wear. :)
W00T! I just won the auction :). Now comes the terrible decision...Do I take it to the tailor, have it fitted, and wear it or try to preserve it as a collectible. Since it is nearly impossible to find vintage suits in my huge size it will probably be the former. Any opinions?
I don't know...considering the checkered history of Thanksgiving, having it followed by a day where you step on your neighbor for material gain makes Black Friday quite apropos.
The Boeing Museum of Flight is a must see in Seattle. We took the Traveling Hat to the museum when it was visiting Seattle. I go back whenever I can and always see something new.

Seriously, I hope this never ever happens. I can not think of a movie LESS in need of a sequel than Casablanca. It is perfect just the way it is.
