I bought a brown fedora at Arnold’s Hats — in the location across from the Port Authority — about 10 or 11 years ago, so I’m kinda sad that they’re closing down.
Based on the Wall of Fame in that store, I was pretty sure I was the first white customer they’d had in a long time. Measuring my head, my salesman told me that I had a “football-shaped head,” just like his. That would make it more of a challenge.
My wife thinks that means I look like this (rt.):
Now that I haven’t shaved in a week, perhaps it’s more like this.
(Update: Sonofabitch! I should’ve named this post Milliner’s Crossing! Dammit!)
Nah, it stayed a hat and no, I didn’t chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin’ his hat.
