    Disposition of my hats when I die

    I plan on instructing my estate to put my hats up for sale at low prices using my account here at the Lounge. At least they will go to someone who appreciates them.

    Portland Rain

    Take a look at the Akubra line available from David Morgan https://www.davidmorgan.com/shop/category/2_22/hats/akubra-hats/. I have had a Adventurer (aka Federation) and a Bushman (aka Squatter) and both hold up to Seattle weather just fine.

    Dark/sad vintage popular music

    I find a lot of the early Duke Ellington work dark and brooding. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN3_c1OnA3s

    Beard grooming?

    I have tried several specialized beard trimmers over the years. On the advice of my barber, I finally picked up a professional quality "Whal Senior" hair clipper and guide combs and will never go back. It took a few tries before I was comfortable with using it, but the powerful clipper makes it...

    Deadstock 1940's Towncraft DB Suit - 46 Extra Long

    Gorramit! I got the suit, but the jacket was too tight in the shoulders for me to wear. :( I was tempted to hang onto it as a "If I loose 10 lbs it might fit" suit, but that never works. It is on it's way back to the seller who was gracious enough to accept a return. Keep an eye out for a new...

    Deadstock 1940's Towncraft DB Suit - 46 Extra Long

    Thanks for the support everyone! I don't see how I could not wear this suit. We will see how close the fit is once I get it. I'll ask my taylor to save as much of the material as possible during the fitting and preserve the labels as well. I'll be sure to post pictures once it's ready to wear. :)

    Deadstock 1940's Towncraft DB Suit - 46 Extra Long

    W00T! I just won the auction :). Now comes the terrible decision...Do I take it to the tailor, have it fitted, and wear it or try to preserve it as a collectible. Since it is nearly impossible to find vintage suits in my huge size it will probably be the former. Any opinions?

    Black Friday!

    I don't know...considering the checkered history of Thanksgiving, having it followed by a day where you step on your neighbor for material gain makes Black Friday quite apropos.

    Museum of Flight

    The Boeing Museum of Flight is a must see in Seattle. We took the Traveling Hat to the museum when it was visiting Seattle. I go back whenever I can and always see something new. You can see the rest of the visit at: The Traveling Hat Takes Seattle

    Casablanca

    Ricks Can-Can-Can American! Can-Can-Can American! ;) Seriously, I hope this never ever happens. I can not think of a movie LESS in need of a sequel than Casablanca. It is perfect just the way it is.
