Memorial Day Refurb Project
A journey that began just a few hours before a wedding on 5/25/13 and ended with a project started and completed to day, Memorial Day 2013. Attended the wedding of Kevin Trempe to Alexandria (Lexi) Kierst on May 25th 2013 in Lexington VA. Sporting one of my very best thin-ribbons, a Resistol... -

East TN 7 3/8 Barbisio Grande Beaver
I have posted about hats for sale at a local antique store before; this time it is about a 'Grande Beaver' Barbisio. This is not my hat, no stake in this at all, the brim is too narrow for my tastes, and it is not my size either, but I post it here because some of you might be interested... -
True Grit - the Dude redo the Duke
An article about a re-make of 'True Grit' - with Rooster Cogburn played by Jeff Bridges. http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-talk-iconic-john-wayne-role-redone.html I am impressed with the idea from a movie standpoint, Bridges actually has talent and is certainly more believable as a...- barrowjh

Falcon Park Hattery
I sent off three straws to try out Falcon Park Hattery's services and am well pleased with the results. Mostly, was looking for new sweatbands, and opted for light colored to avoid sweat-staining via the leather's dye. Take a look: First is a Hopkins that I won off a lounger, and it did not... -

East TN 7 1/8 Allesandria
I periodically visit local antique shops, and one local shop has a BEAUTIFUL Borsalino Allesandria (thin-ribbon, OR/Strat clone) in size 7 1/8 in the very light tan or silverbelly color, brim width only 2 3/8, which is a bit narrow for this hat style. It likely dates from the 1940's, as it has... -
Johnny Depp - Mad Hatter
Just saw this on ABC's site - http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/popup?id=2951275&contentIndex=1&page=1&start=false A short article about Depp in the Mad Hatter role in a re-make of Alice in Wonderland with the same folks that brought us Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka. lol :eusa_clap -
Collection Arrangements
Here is a pitifully small group of straws - a significant deficiency. Working with PB to remediate, looking forward to better days for this group: In the lower right foreground is a vintage 400 wpi, and on top of the box is my 1st straw - nice looking hat from Miller Hats but heavier than... -
'Nuther Depp Hat Story
Here's the link. Can anyone recognize whether or not the hat sent to the boy matches up with the one seen on Depp in film previews? http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Story?id=5186562&page=1 -
Loewe Hat and a Green Barbisio
Won this Loewe on OFAS a couple of weeks back for just $29; it may be my finest hat, or is at least equal. It was 200161781323 if still active. The off-brand name, and the seller's indication that it might be wool, must have scared most of the bidders away. The seller took ample pictures... -

Game-Day Strat
My wife (a University of Tennessee grad, of course) prepared this game-day treatment for a Stetson Stratoliner, and I wore it to the SC game Saturday night. This is not an appropriate rayon-cotton hat ribbon (poly), but that is ok for this purpose. It is only attached to the hat via a... -
Chico Marx - Borsalino customer
I recently told a cousin about this crazy hat obsession, and he went into a discussion about Chico Marx's hat, advising that Chico wore a Borsalino. Here are some pics of Chico in his Tyrolean type hat, which I presume is the Borsalino, as Chico wore the same hat in all of those movies... -
Two Restorations by Optimo Hats
I recently sent two ebay acquisitions off to Optimo Hats in Chicago for some restoration work. 1st sent was a green Barbisio that needed a new sweatband (and reblock to 57.5 cm) and cleaned of course, 2nd was a beautiful 'Ninfea' or water lilly green Borsalino that needed a more complete... -
Borsalino Hat Tag
I acquired a grey Borsalino Savoy recently, and this is the paper tag behind the sweatband and just under the lining: COD. space COL. space 902544 1983 space 68 space space 6 Simple read - it was made in 1983, color 68, size (French)...
