Happy Saturday from a damp East Texas! Dull grey sky outside so It seems like a grey and black day!

Fun hat note... garbage truck came this morning and evidently someone was getting rid of old newspapers. One of my coffee buddies down the street found part of a Jan 26 1954 Houston Chronicle paper in his yard. Had lots of post Christmas advertisements. One ad was announcing a Hat Clearance sale at the Battlesteins Dept Store ( Competitor to Sakowitz and Neiman-Marcus back in the day). Wish I had a time machine so I could go see what a $40 looked like in 1954 lol

Hey Rick—this is great. I’m also sorry I wasn’t there for that sale, but I might have benefited from someone else being there—Ive got a Battelstein’s Knox 15 that is one of my favorite everyday hats.

Knox Twenty Five. Headed to my brother’s house to watch the Dawgs beat some Gators on a huge TV screen he just got.
I’m predicting the Lot Lizards get Knoxed out Twenty Five to nothing. ;-)

That's a beauty, Randall.

I can almost feel the feel of that felt on my fingertips.

Very nice. I think I’m going to give my black homburg a pinch. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Thanks, Gary.

Feel free to pinch, you've inspired me often enough, so I'm glad to reciprocate :)

The funny thing with Homburgs is, some seem like they want a pinch, others don't. The taller the crown, the more they seem to need a pinch, but it's not always the way.

The great thing with hats is, if the bash doesn't look right, you can always bash again until it does.

Yeah, the navy Homburg I’ve been wearing for the last couple of days will stay as it is, but I think the black one will get a pinch.
