[Rollin Rains]

Well dang.... this was going to be in the "Hats and Drinks" forum, but Mr Moose and his tennis ball knocked over a healthy sized ****** Mary right as I sat down outside. Oh well Guess its a Pennys Towncraft and pipe thing instead lol

Love the Towncrafts! I've been looking for one that fills some voids in my color/shape needs, but so far have not found the right fit.

I think the best description of that hat, for me, is "dashing"! And thank you, as always for the fascinating bits of hat history you provide us.

Good to hear of your travels Nathan. Bangkok sounds much safer than most large cities in the USA... especially @ 2:00 A.M.

I've spent time in Bangkok twice before, so I'm not a rookie to the city, but this is the first time I've been out enjoying the night life and I'm floored by how safe it feels. And invariably, if I feel a certain aggressive energy, it is ALWAYS from a western tourist or some other foreigner. Thais are some of the most amazing people I have met - brilliant, confident, and beautiful - but at the same time humble, hospitable and very down to earth.

I will miss this place like crazy... I haven't felt this inspired in many years.

Looking good Nathan

Thank you Joe! Welcome home.

This morning I'm sporting one of the newest additions to my collection that I found on Etsy from an individual in the Netherlands. I've not had much luck finding out any information about the maker but the hat seems to be very well made. Flevo Prima Haarvilt

You both look fabulous

 

[Blare]

YOWZA!!!!! That's a stone cold beauty, Joe!!!

Thanks Mark! It’s got a few moth nips here and there (they can’t seem to resist these fuzzy hats) but it ads to its charm really. This hat once belonged to a former Chief of Police in Poland during WWII who saved countless lives helping them escape. I have two hats that belonged to this gentleman. It is always an honor to wear this hero’s hats.
