Couldn't help wearing this one this evening before the sun went down.

Follow on story, this hat was once stolen from my parents’ house while I was away at college in Boston. I lived in a small town in Vermont. Months later, I saw it being worn in a local bar, and immediately approached and removed it. In such a small town, I knew it was my hat. I also even knew the offender, a friend of my brother’s. I was in my physical prime, and MUCH bigger than he. No fight, just hat.

Glad you lived in such a place as you were able to run across and reclaim it. Although, I feel compelled to add, "small town in Vermont" is something of a redundancy.

Tell Nate I'm ON it. I've only seen one other hat from that store in the last ten years, but I'll widen my parameters for Nate.

At his 100th birthday celebration a few years ago, here is Nate (his brother/business partner, Ben, actually) checking out the hat he sold me. He remembered!!!

Awesome hat Eric, love the jacket too what is it?

Thanks sir. The jacket is made by Patagonia. I appreciate the companies commitment to sustainability and business ethos.

Where have all the airplanes gone?
I have two Strats, sans the pin.
That is a lovely hat, Eric.

Thanks sir. Congrats on your thin ribbon Strats.

This afternoon I was sport'n a vintage Stetson 3X Fifteen. A glorious 50's felt with all the trimmings.

We went to the Oktoberfest in Mt Angel today. As before, only a few gents with fur felt hats. Most people had wool hats covered in pins. I didn't see any pins or feathers I would put on my hat.

There was one older gent with a badger hair "brush" attached to the back of his hat that must have been 8 inches tall. I'd never seen one quite like that before.

We walked around a lot, had a bier sausage on a stick with some great brown mustard. Then wandered over to Glockenspiel restaurant and had lunch there out of the sun. Sandra had cabbage rolls and I ate an enormous Reuben sandwich.

A. Breiter Trachten Hut for me and Sandra in a similar style traveler made by Borsalino in a nice felt, but kind of a golden mustard color...

THIS Big Apple hat, as it was labeled when I bought it (new, from a mail order catalogue!) as a high school freshman in 1969-70.

It’s a little dusty, but at least I knew exactly where it was.

Charlie you were and are a man ahead of his time. That hat still rocks!
Wish i could have seen the weasel slink outta the bar never to be seen again!
