Looking good Wesslyn. Nice hat and suit. You seem to have more luck finding 3 piece suits than I do.

Michael

Thank you, sir. It's definitely a challenge for me as well.

A Nutria (Coypu) wouldn't fit on the plate.

Well, there was a tragic occurrence that led to the demise of the goat. It was being trimmed about ten days ago when something caused the trimmer (me) to be suddenly distracted and take about an inch off between upper lip and chin. Not much left to do but cut my losses and wait for new growth.

Sorry for your loss.

(I must admit, I didn't even notice at first -- the hat was too nice)

Rebashed my navy D'Aquino. I like it better this way. I always felt the brim was to wide for a pork pie

On the other hand, my beige D'Aquino always felt a bit small brimmed for a fedora, so.. ..

I wish the brim wasn't so wavy.

OH THE HUMANITY!
When I first glanced at your post I thought that you had had to euthanize a member of the "bah..." variety of goat. That'd have been a real bummer.

Happy Wednesday.

Bust'n out the 1920s or so Cohn-Asher, ASCO Hats vented derby.

Here is stuff I discovered about Cohn-Asher in my research from last year:

Here is what I have read about the Cohn-Asher Hat Company of Los Angeles.

The principals were Arthur Asher and Isidor Cohn.

Isidor was born in Germany in 1869. He emigrated to the US and ended up in California, where he was one of the early LA area Jewish community.

On January 4, 1904, he married Mina Norton, one of the earliest professional teachers in the area. http://www.jmaw.org/mina-norton-early-professional-teacher-of-los-angeles/ At the time of the marriage, Isidor was a traveling clothing salesman.

I am not certain about when Cohn-Asher formed, but it appears to have dissolved no later than 1923. It is mentioned in a publication from that year that it was succeeded by Cohn-Lazerus Hat Company.

The special brands list is from the American Hatter, Vol. 46, February 1917.

The article about cowboy hats and trade show write up appeared in the American Hatter, Vol. 51, August 1921.

The help wanted ad is from the LA Herald, October 26, 1916.

I don't see to many examples of California made hats from back then. Neat!

They call it cuy (pronounced 'coo-ee) in Spanish. It's a sort of guinea pig some people eat

It might be a Capybara. I've had fireroasted Capybara a couple of times while out of country. Not bad with a dipping sauce of your choice & if you don't think about it as eating a rodent.

Never play with electric trimmers or sharp scissors when hungover.

No $#|+. It was the electric ones.

Strapped - Awesome hat. Looks great on you.

Serge - Tough choice this morning.

MM - What a vent. Seems like a rarity. Looking fab this morning.

For @hatsRme, wearing my Dobbs 40 from the 40's.

We have them all over the place here in Oregon. They look like a giant rat! Nice hats come from them though...

It is understandable that the venting features would be available in the California climate. Really a cool derby Matt!
