I live several states away from DelMonico's but had always wanted visit as I've heard so many good things. Well, this holiday season I had the opportunity while visiting family in the area.

A Special Black Sheep Tribute to My Father

5 Hats for Life - Your Choices
Dear Folks, As I set out on this hat-venture, I find myself a bit stunned by the sheer possibilities. The endless variations in styles and makers. In thinking about this, I realize what would help me, and perhaps others new to the world, would be a "desert island" question. "If you had to... -

Walking around in a fedora...
I'm new to fine hats and headwear with the Biltmore Chicago and Florence as my first good fur felt fedoras. Recently I traveled to Detroit on business and I wore the Florence on the trip.
