FitzGerald Special
Just home from the road and all in all it was a nice day. He was alert and talkative. we had a good visit. SO glad we had the chance to visit before things go really downhill. ( and I still dislike the Houston traffic lol)My sympathies for your pending loss, Rick. May your drive be safe and eventless, and your visit be full of love and friendship.
Cool!Another mid-80s day summer day. Today, I am wearing my Dobbs Fifteen Homburg, which was sold by Jim Patterson Hats located at 901 K Street in Sacramento, CA. The store operated for 79 years, originally opening in 1934 and closing in 1981. This is the easiest time I ever had dating a hat as I have the original sales receipt dated September 2nd, 1957. The soft gray felt was easily paired with my black shades and blue guayabera.

You got some hats. FitzGerald "Special" indeed. This color, flange, liner ,and ribbon detailing is just great. You always have a good showing in this thread.
Thank you, Joe!Nice Hommie. And great providence.
On the plane to Tokyo, we passed over Seattle. I did not realize how epic those volcanic peaks are out there. I saw three right in a row from the plane, not sure if one of them was Hood or not. Obviously one was Ranier - we passed right over it... I mean, I could see it from hundreds of miles away as we approached.Looks like it's a brim-up Friday, I'm wearing my 3X OR this morning.

Thank you! I agree, the cascade peaks are all very impressive.On the plane to Tokyo, we passed over Seattle. I did not realize how epic those mountain peaks are out there. I saw three right in a row from the plane, not sure if one of them was Hood or not. Obviously one was Ranier - we passed right over it... I mean, I could see it from hundreds of miles away as we approached.
Great shots here with the OR and Hood in the background. Really nice looking hat.
