AKA: What Hat Was I Wearing....

In my 1st post last week I mentioned I had stayed in the shadows following the Lounge for a few years. I joined little over a year ago so I could buy some fedoras from the classifieds. But about that same time most of the fedoras in the world started disappearing to a sanctuary in Mexico City. I did take a few pics during that time thinking I’d try posting but couldn’t get myself to do it. (Don’t do any type of social media) so here’s a few of those. One of my very 1st hats ever at about 16..it was my Friday night go to town Stetson at the time. 7 1/8 which I outgrew so as dumb kid I pulled the sweat out and lost the liner which I’ve since replaced.

Don’t know if this tag identifies it any

What is this smart phone that you speak of? Is my 1994 Alcatel, that has no wires, not smart enough?

Goodness me, whatever next? Perhaps they might even have removed all the wires from the landline phones. What would they want to do that for?

In case you think that I'm telling a tall story, our home phone appliance was issued to us at our first home in May 1968, it's still going strong. The Cellphone I bought in 1994. When technology changed from analogue to digital, my smart ass Godson put some piece of electronic wizardry in it, and lo & behold, it worked fine, still does.
But then what would you expect of someone who drives an old MG?

Ha ha GHT! Good one!
Off topic but anyway....all it took to change people, society, the World was the see all, know all, do all smart phone. Where else can you loose all your important stuff, memories and secrets all at 1 time? Why sometimes i feel like i need a smoke after making sure all is well surfing the world. Not the same satisfaction though.
Takes good hat pictures though!
Wearing this in my cave.
Be well. Bowen

Just threw in a quicky so as not to be totally off topic. Lol
It’s a RD Stetson. My most interestingly colored hat. Impossible to capture is true transitional colors from browning to steel graying. It’s kinda the mood ring of hats.
Mmbarnes has one that does the same tricks.

Thanks, B.
I especially like the color on the ribbon.

I have a Royal Stetson like this, as well. Sort of a bluish/brownish/grayish bluegraybrown.

Super Stetson, Bowen. Love the green tinge it has. Like Max, I particularly like the ribbon. Nice.

It was the Cavanagh today for my sister's memorial. When it arrived last Saturday in a Dobbs box, the final installment of my exciting day running down hats, I noticed a very pungent aroma when I opened the box.
Had they exhumed someone to get the hat they were buried with?
It would have taken much more than that to put a damper on my euphoria that day. I figured a bit of research would bring a solution, put the hat on a hook and went to bed.
My accesorries ended up choosing my wardrobe this morning. I ended up in a black suit with my only (7 1/8) non western black hats in need of sweatbands. My other dark one is a very deep navy blue. Of two dark grey, the Cavanagh is nicer than the Dobbs.
I grabbed it, sniffed it, concluded it had aired out, and headed for the door. I'm getting rid of that box!
A little head time brought the odor back to life. I was happy to remove it at the Church door, andnonly put it on long enoigh for a picture.

Have a good evening,

Michael, I don't know what I like most: the super blue ribbon on that cool Macy's Panama, the hipster shirt, the light summer jacket, or that wonderful looking pocket square puffing out of its pocket. The red trousers and complimenting brown boots just help top off a wonderful ensemble. Once again, I doff my cap to you, sir.
