Thanks for turning me on to Selentino. I just brought a couple of long hairs. Can't wait for them to come.

And Uncle, you should be getting a transfer from Optimo. I got three from them because of you. 


nephew,

I thought the sides were supposed to stay flat so I was a bit upset that they are bowing up (and I kept trying to push them down).

But the other day I saw a shot of Edward VII (my style hero and, of course, solely responsible for the Homburg becoming popular) wearing a Homburg with the sides bowing up.

How is it supposed to be?
