Shaping up to be a great spring day in Funkytown. Waiting for the enchilada special to-go and breaking out the unlined Dalton for the summer.

Thank you, Stefan Van Der Steur [emoji2]

The "van der Steur"s are a different branch, Max. Most of them came from Haarlem and were a family of architects. One of them designed the Museum Booijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Not many of them left: only 84 with that name left in Holland. Our branch fares better: 1593 with that name in Holland (in 2007). Don't know how that useless information will benefit you, but there you go:)

Very nice homburg, Jeff. I like the way the brim curve is done with those sharp angles.

Thanks! I actually wanted it with a pencil curl but it arrived with a sort of folded flat edge, like an overwelt without the welt. So I tried to open it up and put the arch in it. I may eventually send it to someone who can do the actual curl, but it never seems to stop me from wearing it.

You had already told me that you're not a van der, Stefan. I was just emphasizing your Dutchness.

Forgot all about that. Had me searching the other branch on the internet though: some interesting characters there. And it was reassuring to find there are about 1600 of our kind still running around in the wild.;)

I’m glad your delay didn’t keep you from the interview. Good luck...do you mind sharing what position you’re applying for?

I've missed out on interviews before because I was out of town, on Ecuador, etc, and I was afraid it was going to happen again, but these folks were very open to work with my schedule (including my misadventures with United Airlines).l

Paralegal in the Finance and Revenue Legal Division. I've already worked in a private firm on one of their tobacco tax cases. I helped review over 250,000 documents for privilege claims prior to release for discovery requests, hearings, trial, etc. That's a lot of redaction, my friend.

Nora - Hüte Wien possibly 1950s. The Velour on this hat is fantastic but I have no idea of the source. Could have been from older stock. I wasn't able to find anything on Nora - Hüte Wien so probably a very small operation. I have had this hat for a while but decided to replace the lower quality sweatband.

Such a sweet lid, Steve. Serious velour.
