Thanks for the compliments and the before photos, Randy.
I’ll be reusing that black 1” hat band and bow to decorate a 50s super tight weave Ecuadorian optimo straw very soon.

Today, November 22, is a day that lives on infamy here in the USA... "Hatless Jack" Kennedy was assinated in Dallas in 1963. John Simmons was the person who told me about it during the afternoon recess on our elementary school playground.
Contrary to all the blame, he was NOT entirely hatless. He was a Cavanagh man, and this one was his style...
Interesting note... this little classic consistently receives comments of admiration from (mostly) younger guys. Am I in fashion?? Nah!!!
Have the best day yet!!
Note; Not sure why, but despite my efforts the interior shot wouldn’t readily post. It’s worth a peek.

Charlie; Anyone wearing a Pendleton is fashionable in my book! I was not even in Kindergarten, but I recall my Mom crying hard and my Dad consoling her. It is an image that has stayed with me. That night at dinner we had meatballs, potatoes and carrots. The memory burns bright. My parents, who were Professors at the University at the time, received phone calls (hard line on a black phone in the hall) through the night.
In my book you are fashionable. (Disclaimer; the teenagers in the gym assure me that I am not fashionable. What do they know - Old Guys Rule.)

I need a new camera, that crud inside the lens is getting very annoying.

And whenever it was that it was new.

Off for a ride to the bike shop in a few minutes. I'm hoping the Filson double mac will keep me warm

You look good in green Stefan, believe me 
Thanks for the compliment, too.
Thanks for the compliment, too.
Thanks, Steve. I'm being a bit unjust towards it, just because it's green
You wouldn't expect a black hat to brighten up a dark day, but it does. Looking fine, Steve.
Niiiice! Great looking hat, Reggie.

Great history, along with a cool hat, Charlie. I Didn't know JFK was a Cavanaugh man. It makes sense, though. I was in the cradle that day in 1963; my memories were of the 68' assassinations of RFK and MLK. Those 20th-century short brim hipster hats are definitely your style, and Cavanaugh made some great ones. As they say, what comes around goes around. Did Eisenhower wear Stetson? It looks like he has an OR type of hat in his hand.
If you feel right in it Ross then you're pulling it off. You sure look right in it. What a beauty it is btw. Congrats.
Great hats as usual, Eric. Cool to see a Premier in its original form; a lot of "premier" labelled Stetson hats were made under license in England, but their form is quite a bit different from this one.A Staurday afternoon walk in a Stetson Premier.

Cheers, Eric -
It sent shockwaves around the world, that's for sure! If that's a picture of the presidential transition from Eisenhower to Kennedy, it's refreshing to see it can be done with grace.
Alledgedly Kenedy's inauguration top hat was made by Spoorenberg from the Netherlands.
Good looking Cavanagh by the way, Charlie.
Both hat and trench are great, Jim. The combination earns you bonuspoints (and likely suspicious looks).
Thanks, Steve. Maybe I'll try it more oftenYou look good in green Stefan, believe me

Charlie, I too have a precise memory of that day from far away. The time zone acted as a shield on the evening of 22nd November because I went to bed early, like all ten-year-old children in the last class of the elementary school. Something had leaked in the Italian TV programs (not in my house), but above all on the radio. The next day at school we were informed of what had happened, and in a very special way the director showed us the special edition of the news that was about the assassination of the president of the United States. We remained silent and somewhat destabilized. My father worked, as an Italian civilian, for the American forces stationed in Europe in the FTASE command in Verona and he brought home a couple of American newspapers which I tried, with a small dictionary, to translate, at least the titles, printed in characters. cubital. A few years had passed since the war and the veterans and their women were absolutely amazed at such a "subversive" event in the United States. Days with a thousand and one hypotheses followed until the day Lee Oswald was assassinated, then everything seems so complicated in your country from this point of view.

A vintage Knox Twenty. After a little work on the crown and brim, it doesn’t look half bad. I bought it in a thrift store in Mason, Texas, for US$18.00.
