What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

They're apt to take over the entire hat. Experts are considering what defines a waffle.

Batter up!

I have two good puns, but can't make up my mind as to which I'll use.
There's probably a word for that.

 

[scottyrocks]

Pundecided.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Nice work, scottyrocks. I thought he was just punting...

No syr. Up and over your head, I guess.

But there's no need to doubt yourself. Take solace in the old wisdom: cogito eggo sum - I think waffles exist. -Renee Daycart (Waffle House waitress, Trenton, NJ)

IHOP -- therefore, I am.

I'm trying for more, but once you've gone 17th century French philosophy breakfast pun, it's hard to reach much further.

 

[Chinaski]

Going for the obvious, I believe you're just waffling, Lefty.

Love JtL's Avenue and Alan's Bantam. Beautiful lids beautifully worn. That's the way to do it, gents.

By the way, who is it that has a Bantam with the red rooster embroidered on the wind cord button?

Resistol 5x B/R New Era Spruce. Photo color is less than accurate. Maybe my best felt feel and a great color.

I like the waffle hat. Don't ask me why. I SAID DON"T ASK! and i mean it.

Borsalino Alessandria

Another unseasonably warm day here in Minnesota. Knocked about and did some antiquing with my wife in my Borsalino Alessandria, in Avorio.



In front of the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota, the bank Jesse James and the Younger Gang attempted to rob in 1876.




Additional photos and hat information in The Borsalino Brotherhood.

Some reenactment photos of the robbery, on the Defeat Of Jesse James Days website.


We had to make our way back home to pick up our son from school, but not before hitting one more antique shop, in our town, where I found these two hat boxes, unfortunately without their hats:


$8



$12

Great looking lid, Alan. It sure looks like the snow is melting fast and Spring is just around the corner!

 

[St.Ignatz]

Nice hat sir. Is it still a bank?

Thanks, Tom. The First National Bank Of Northfield is still in business, but have relocated down the street. The original site of the bank, which I am standing in front of, now houses the Museum Of The Northfield Historical Society.

Nice looking Resistol, BTW.

"Didn't you just join? Stop having such incredible hats or, at least, slow down a bit. You're killing me. Great photos, as always."

I noticed it too Lefty, I think he is a lifer.

C'est un chapeau fantastique!
