So... I have this big European vacation coming. I am bringing a few fedoras and may buy a couple too. For the first time I am going to bring a non-foldable hat....my Fawcett. And for that I have my "PortaFedora" (do a google search of that if you are interested). The others will be foldables...

We are going to Portugal in early Nov. We will be in Porto and Lisbon (Lisboa) and some places inbetween. I love going into hat stores when I am on vacation. Any good ones anyone would recommend? We are also stopping in London so another visit to Lock & Hatters will happen.

Ok.... started to get really excited about Fedora's last spring. I got a nice Stetson fur felt. And from there went a little crazy between Panamas and Fur felt fedora's. I now have 13 (were from my European vacation). I love wearing them. I love everyday I go outside and think.... what hat...

Ok.... I had to brag about my recent hat purchases on our trip from Portland to Chicago to NYC and then all over Europe. Most all of my friends could care less about my new hats but I thought this group might be interested. So I whipped together a video.

Also stopped here... VERY helpful and friendly sales people and affordable prices...Got a nice Stetson rollable. Note that is was REALLY hot in NY therefore the very casual wear.
