Wearing my Brooks Brothers fedora. A while back I mentioned that this was one of two from the same seller and the other would someday be reunited with its brother here. And it's finally happening. Hopefully only a few days before it's on my doorstep...

You're learning loads about lids, Lad!! That's a shark's gill bow. I pulled out a modern box bow today, for you to see. Post tomorrow!
And the "Like Hell It's Yours" cards were pretty standard, and are still used today by some of the custom hatters, like Mr. Fawcett.
Mike Miller from NW Hats also has a "Like Hell It's Yours" card for his customs. I sure would like to track down some "real" ones, vintage from the 40s. Wouldn't that be cool. Even a modern copy would be good.

Grandma Anna had style, Frun!! She'd probably be happy to know you're carrying the torch - WHAT a nice hat!

In continuation of the box bow discussion... Black Sheep Hat Works, in dark moss, espresso ribbon today. Although I do look like I was shot out of a cannon again this morning.
Maybe I could apply for that position with a circus; it's hard to find a man of my caliber...
