My new $20 ebay find.

The Ridgewood by Mallory 7 1/2 long oval. In much better condition than expected. Felt unmunched and sweat perfect.

View attachment 212677 View attachment 212673 Here’s my 40s/early 50s Knox Westlite that I sewed a khaki campaign bow on today. The knotted bow and 2 cord ribbon that was on this hat when I got it wasn’t original, far as I could tell.
So, this hat made a perfect candidate for my second try at this style of bow.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

The bow looks good, but you have the US flag hanging up backwards.

Mallory family today.

Sorry, thought I cropped the gizmos.

Hey folks!
This Panizza, acquired in a trade with our Dutch connection, sees sun on a pleasant afternoon.

Have a great day!

Echter Velour - Soleil possibly 1930s. I don't know the company that made it but I am pretty sure it's from a German source. The Velour is very light weight and extremely pliable. This is the only example I have of the use of the word "Soleil". ("When the tips are clipped off and the hair is ironed all around or from top to bottom one talks about “Soleil” ", from "Hair Velour / Real (Echter) Velour / Prime (Prima) Velour Fabrikation von Damen- und Herren- Filzhüten, Der Deustchen Hutmacher Zeitung (1933)")

Wow. I hope I can find a velour-soleil someday. Maybe over the rainbow!

Okay, so I had the flag wrong. My heart’s right. I fixed it, and now we’re both right.
For the last three years I’ve felt like showing my American patriotism.
If the military would have me, I might would feel enough pride in our great country to serve again.
I wonder if the new Space Force branch takes nearly old folks...

Hear, hear! I welcome you to read my blog article about the American flag

Not recommended for the weak at heart.

I read the three posts where their titles interested me. Good writing.
+1 x 100!
I’m glad the FL is filled with diverse gentlemen that seem to get along.

Thanks Randall. I'm an unapologetic conservative, so I understand my writings are not for everyone.

Thank you for reading.

Yeah man, I wasn’t trying to be a scold - I assumed your heart is in the right place. I served for a decade. I just wanted to make sure you got it right.

My pretty little wife is in the hospital so I'm going to pay her a surprise visit this morning and pop this number open under her nose. She doesn't know that I have a collapsible top hat. Well, two, actually, they seem to reproduce secretly at night when nobody is looking.

Hope your wife's OK, Steve. Take care of her.

SteveFord · Feb 13, 2020

Thank you, you're a good man but your moniker tipped me off in advance. Who doesn't like the Zappa crowd? I'll tell you a secret: in the film Baby Snakes, you see that kid handing Frank "the Tower Of Power" at the start of the show?
Guess who that was as a kid back in High School?
"Hey, Frank!"

She works in a hospital so at least she didn't have far to go and she has lots of friends to come visit her. Off to it.

We have something other than hats in common today. My wife has been in this whole week. Hopefully gallbladder will finally come out tomorrow.

I hope your wife enjoys her surprise and recovers nicely

Good morning from Minnesota. The air temp is -12'f (-24'c) right now. My dog walk was swift and brief. Brrrr.... No hat, but a Filson Mackinaw cap was up to the task of keeping me toasty. The ear flaps and heavy wool make this cap perfect this cold morning.

Best, Eric -
