You look about how I felt after a 75 minute drive that normally takes 50". Hat looks good.

It wasn't that bad. sloppy, but not bad. The first clue was noticing how many folks were leaving as I was rolling on board.

Jack! This one is a beauty, love the color.


At least you looked good during this ordeal Jim.

Eh, the real p***er is I really needed to get some things done today. Things I can't do from home. So I'm working on corporate stuff instead.

I made this fedora last week. We'll call it "Adventurer" style. Rabbit fur felt. The band is a removable type I also made. It's temporary until the proper ribbon arrives. I also made the liner and hand-sewed in the sweatband. Pounced to 1,000 grit paper. It's incredibly light. Very comfortable to wear.

Note: for the Indy fans, yes, the dimensions are very close, but not exact. That was done on purpose. I didn't want to attempt a copy and then fail lol. I burned it twice but it still needs some more distressing.
Very nice.

Beautiful OR. Looks so pristine. Love that crease, not a Cattleman guy.

Today will be a quasi spring day here in Oregon. A 1950s SmartLee back bow is sporty enough to enjoy the gift from mother nature. If this weather holds, I might just be like Moe and wear straw tomorrow...he is such an example. This Lee offering has a trendy (for 1958) pinky rose liner and a dark gray sweat. Very stylish.

Unseasonably nice here in Oregon for February. It should be 60 degrees this afternoon. Breaking all the "Straw Day" rules (traditionally May 15th) by wearing my NW Hats Lt Blue Duplex. I couldn't wait!! Had to give it a spin.

Now THAT'S a straw-in-February smile if I ever saw one!
Nice new lid!
If you get any more gills you might become amphibious.:)

Looking so sharp today Matt. This is one fine Homburg.
Thanks Mike.

That duplex is a fantastic looking hat. I'd have a big smile too if that were hanging in my house.
I removed the 1" of light snow from the drive and walkways earlier this morning. Who says homburgs can not be worn casually or for chores?

Inky blue homburg.

Photo lense is spotted from the snow falling from the trees and melting on it.

Putting feed out into the birdfeeders meant carrying a 50# bag of sunflower seeds and a filled feed bucket. A Cordova cap was my choice for the trips.

Best to all, Eric -
Yep... that's what a great looking homburg is for. Beautiful blue. Great cap, too.

That looks great. Congratulations on a job well done.
So this is me, as White Death Wednesday descends on the valley, heading out in an modern Excellent Strat.

...aaaand, this is me, about 90 minutes later, as they closed the Air Force base about the time I was rolling through getting my ID checked.

Sorry that the White Death murdered your plans for the day.

Excellent looking Strat to be frustrated under, though.

The bright, it hurts my eyes. The inch or so we got last night must have been super white. Stetson 3X Open Road

I guess it's time to push around some more snow on the driveway. Will need some gloves, and maybe a scarf.
