What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

An old Stetson Clear Nutria today that came to me from our friend Garrett. I find little information about the store where it was sold, other than many conspicuous advertisements for a "bankrupt sale" in 1921. The time would be appropriate for this hat, though perhaps it was a continuing sale like those camera and carpet stores in NYC... some of which were going out of business for fifty years.

I stopped for a few days to complete the commemoration of Donatella, Monica's mother

She escaped the concentration camps when she was a child, but not at the age and flaws of life many years later

This is a hat she loved very much.

Flechet arrived unfinished, without some elements, the sweatband in the first place.

Finished with great care by Fleur of Penumbra Hats - Netherlands.
The hat has a slightly heathered felt tending to dark gray, very soft and malleable, finished with a short fur

One of the projects that must be finished, despite everything.
Congratulations on your hats.
May she rest in peace, live on in your hearts, and in all the good memories you and your family have of her, Daniele.

I bought The Champ at the end of the season last year, so it hasn't gotten out much. Trying to rectify that this week.
My old Yankees jacket, circa '86, was covered in dust in the back of the closet, unworn for close to two decades because I'd grown out of it. I lost a lot of weight last year and, lo and behold, the thing fits again. Had to have it dry cleaned, but I'm wearing it a lot now. Long shot for Judge to get the Triple Crown today, but it would be a sweet way to head into the playoffs.
