Semper Ubi Sub Ubi

Here's my Ubi cheapo porkpie with a madras band I made out of an old tie.
The saxophone is a 1936 Conn 8M C melody, with original mouthpiece.

Fletch what a GREAT HAT on you, especially with the madras tie added on- well done!

Hey,that's one GORGEOUS vintage sax you've got there. Do you collect vintage ones? Do you only play tenor? When I've worked with the California Pops Orchestra, many members of the brass section doubled or even tripled... They even have a french horn player that also plays a mean harmonica.

I'm sure I can speak for all on this thread, we've been missing you Torpedo! Good to hear from you...

I am pretty busy these days, and I am posting very sporadically, but I thought I ought to say hello!

...and to leave some comments too!
Keep them coming!

Mr. Paladin, looking very handsome in this suit and the Colony. Surely you are the most dapper man at your church on Sundays..

Today I wore my Stetson Colony for church.

Very nice in the Montecristi Alanc, you are always the picture of the sharp dressed man! I LOOOVE seeing a man wearing a self tie bowtie!! My husband wore one today that matched my blouse for church (navy with red dots)!

Question for you- where do you get the small checked pocket scarves??

I wore my RBH blocked milan to my nephews' softball game this evening. Guess who had on the only fedora amongst all those baseball caps? Sorry, no pic.

Thanks, Rusty. The milan looks like it ought to look now. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

They even have a french horn player that also plays a mean harmonica.

NOW you're talkin'. You can have that French Horn; the harmonica's where it's at!

Today I wore my Barbisio Panama - - and look who came to visit me all the way from Jacksonville!

The IndyCop family joined my gal and I for a lunch at Cracker Barrel and then we came back to the HPG home-spun hat museum for some show and tell:

Dee looking lovely in my latest thin ribbon pick-up:

One of their daughters playing one of my guitars better than I can!

What a nice family. We really enjoyed their visit!

Indy brought along a Panama Bob hat that was distorting due to his long oval head shape so I fixed it up for him.

Befores:

(Oh no, I posted a pic of IC doing what could only be described as smiling. He's going to have to kill me now!)

I put in a Hat Jack to simulate the distortion and then dampened the brim. With weights (books) and hand shaping I was able to get the brim to relax. Off camera, my gal Nicki is applying some dry heat with a hair dryer on low setting to re-stiffen the brim and set the shape.

Afters:

(Checking it out in the mirror)

{EDIT: I just realized I got carried away by putting this here in this thread. I'll post it over in the Panama Canal thread too so it's in the proper place.}

Then you were the coolest looking one there of them all, BobC. The one unique and stylish hatted man amongst the herd... Good for you!
