I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out

[sovay]

Remember how I left my hat with Salmagundi for repairs last month?

I got my hat back.

Yay hat!!!

I envy your ability to look good in a hat! ^_^

Yay hat!!!

I'm so happy about it.

I envy your ability to look good in a hat!

Thank you! (What happens when you try to wear hats?)

I feel I look stupid in hats, but this may be a function of my only having tried like two styles of hats. I'm generally ignorant of millinery (?) so I have no idea what would look good on me. :p

I am pretty sure that data set is not large enough to be conclusive.

Both my mother and I look weird in hats--she for head shape, she thinks. (My head is Too Big.) I wear a round, floppy one anyway, against the sun, but she sticks with a visor--which makes me wonder whether the current prevalence of those visors in Korea has to do with a bunch of people thinking their heads look strange in Western-style hats.

Yay hat! I am sure the hat is also happy to have a head. You are made for each other.

Thank you! It fits very slightly differently now, but it is still my hat. I wore it today through intermittent rain and felt very happy.

That is the happiest I've seen you in months. Hooray for Salmagundi's hat surgeons :)

They were marvelous. Thank you!

Thank you! This hat is very important to me.

Looks like they did a great job!

[sovay]

Looks like they did a great job!

They really did! They darned the hole in the front of the tweed, restitched a fraying seam at the back, replaced the broken reinforcement in the upper cloth, and now I have a lifetime guarantee for it! I am both very happy and very impressed.

That is amazing. It looks sharp, sharp as new.


That is the smile of a person who is underneath a fine hat and knows it.

You can see the darn if you're looking directly at it, but it's in all five colors of the original tweed. I was amazed.

I think I am fonder of this hat than I am ever have been of a hat in my life.

This is a much desired outcome. The smile is perfect. So is the hat.

Excellent!

It's a really important hat.

Looks great! Now you can go and hunt grouse.

Thank you! (Only if grouse are amenable to being hunted with bow and arrow, I'm afraid.)

Yay! People should always get their hats back. *nods experiencedly*

[sovay]

Yay! People should always get their hats back.

I am glad you, too, have been reunited with important hats.

I have chased windblown hats across busy highways; I have chased down drunken hatnapping students; I have retrieved hats forgotten and left behind. I need a homing hat.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Good to see it again.

Good to see it again.

A month without it was hard!

I am glad that your hat in back in good repair. It is clearly a special hat.

If the manufacturer is unique (and still in business), maybe the Salmagundi staff can identify them. Have you asked?

Thank you. It came from my grandfather; I've worn it for four years now. I know it's not immortal, because nothing is, but this would have been a very bad time to lose it.

Yes; I just forgot to write it down!

My husband has asked that I show you the propeller beanie (well, propeller baseball cap) he purchased at the Worldcon in 1991. It was one of the few that did not get blown into the Chicago River.
