January 20, 2007


My Australian Cov-ver is crushable and washable; but its great protective brim easily catches the wind causing it to want to become airborne.

After a visit with Kenneth Smart at his "Leather Lab" I had a rawhide chin strap to secure my Cov-ver no matter the weather.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Reminds me of a song, "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home"........

Very nice shot of the craftsman at work.
Hate to lose a good hat.

Great candid. He looks very intent on getting the job done right. And good idea to keep the hat on your head. :)

LOL at Al...
I love the way you capture the people in your life that help you...
your dentist, your eye doctor, your bathroom sales person...those are a few of the other's that come to mind right away.

In a high wind instead of losing your hat you could go parachuting or hatachuting.
