What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Ventured forth because I was out of milk. I miss wearing a daily hat. Today, a very old Dalton thin ribbon I picked up a few years ago.

I'm still toying with color choices. Thanks. I'll get back to you.
Did you move on that little Lee I steered you toward?
I really wanted it for my grandson but couldn't justify $50 shipped for a 6 year old. Maybe if it was here where I could monitor things but not in my daughter's three ring circus.

I did actually, thanks for the tip. It's in the freezer now and will need to be stretched a little. It's in great shape.

20200418_075625.jpg 20200418_075728.jpg 20200418_073928.jpg Gday from across the water. I'm starting to covet some of the Mallory's I'm seeing you blokes post, had never heard of them prior. Picked up this tidy little unit with a brim over odds for a trilby but have never heard of the brand, not even sure if it isnt the style as it has no lining and no other info other than centimetre size. I'm one of those that can still travel and included a shot of the departures board of Brisbane airport this morning, first regular flights for the country since an almost total shut down for a week. So I get to go out for milk (and alcohol) more often than most!

I like that Dalton! 2 3/4 brim?

Thanks! I think it's 2 7/8."

What a hoot!
Wife: Gee Jim we had a gallon of milk a couple hours ago!
You: I’ll be right back dear.

Oh no, the milk is important. Don't get between me and cookies and milk.

Were they out of rum?

Good to see you. Great Dalton. Hope you, she and Jenna are well.

We are well, thanks, Greg. I bought rum, too. Something new, even. The first of the year brought a $10 increase in my regular brand. I've been looking for something new.

Great looking Dalton, Jim. Love the red bandana, too.

If you have to go to the store, milk and bourbon have to be the first on the list

Thank you!


VIVA!

Pasta and chickpea stew for dinner. I headed out for some exercise in my VS Executive.

This hat was inspired by my Adams Pacesetters (both 5 and 7 gill ribbon versions)in executive quality. It always gives me a smile when I call it an "Executive" as the gill ribboned hats were thought to be more casual a style. I recall my boss in Corp.America suggesting that I should attire myself more casually to be an "executive in the current age." In the 80's til early 2000's I was in shirt, slacks. tie, dress shoes and a sports coat. My costume was madding consistent according to my wife. My hat was a tip to the "casual."

A Champ stingy today. While researching the store it was sold from a ran across a little pocketknife on ebay with their name on it. Had to have it. It seems back in the day Belk would partner with local merchants to open stores, hence the Belk-Broome name:

Great little Champ Tim. Love it. Looks very similar in style to the one I have. Mine may be a little too snug for me though .. unless it stretches out some from wear. Thought it might be good for my son who still has a smaller head than me... he said it made his brain hurt. LOL
