    HELP--Hat band sliding up tapered crown

    Cleaning Paper Strawhat

    I have one toyo straw hat. I don't think the paper would stand up to any kind of moisture very well. I've never tried to clean it. So far, I've just been very careful to try not to get if dirty. This question/complication is one reason that I try to avoid toyo straw hats. Sent from my iPhone...

    Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?

    You seem to have no experience with an actual, genuine pith helmet. There is a harness inside that suspends the helmet above and off of the scalp (similar to a hard hat). They don't get "sweated out" because you don't actually touch anything but the sweat band and the harness. You can remove the...

    Cabelas Safari Jacket

    Hmm. Thought my post was long enough as it is. Well, yes, wearing damp wool in the cold is not like standing in front of a 40,000 BTU heater but I sort of thought that assumption was understood. In any case, it seems you and I are in agreement. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

    Cabelas Safari Jacket

    My experience is pretty limited. I've lived in Alaska, California, and Texas as well as serving on the Army (and wearing what they required). In my experience, wool is way too hot for me to consider it as a hot weather fabric. Wool is warm even when it's wet. That's why it's enjoyed long term...

    Bush Jackets

    I know their pith helmets are handmade in Zimbabwe. I spoke with a clerk on the phone about that. The website says they are importers and that their inventory is designed and made in Zimbabwe so I assume everything else is made there too. I know they have a brick and mortar store about 40...

    FYI, if anyone cares, TAG Safari is in Houston, Texas. Point being that shipping to places in North America should be faster and less expensive than you'd expect coming from Africa. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

    9mm or 45cal

    And yet the debate on this topic has been raging since the 1980's and continues on to this day. Oh well, I guess there isn't really a definitive answer to this since the reality is that any GWS can potentially be deadly (meaning that it's best not to get shot by anything). Today the Army issues...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    My 2nd pith helmet (French style Khaki). Don't laugh! I actually wear these when working in the hot sun. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

    Greek Fisherman cap, handmade?

    I live in a hot climate. My hat choices are almost exclusively straw or linen. If you made a hot weather version in a color I like, I'd consider it. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

    Hat preference?

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Wore a wide brim straw hat (a $10 Dorfman Pacific 388 to be exact) to a Farmers' Market on Saturday and got a compliment from a guy there. I wasn't expecting a compliment on a $10 hat that most people see as a gardening hat or beach hat. It's was sunny and hot and the guy said, "that's a nice...

    9mm or 45cal

    Page and pages of opinions on this topic. I'm just wondering which of you (soldiers, Marines, police...or anyone else, I guess) have ACTUALLY SHOT SOMEONE with either of these calibers? I'm interested in hearing from people who've used the 9mm and the .45ACP in an actual gunfight. Magazine...
