    Hugh Jackman's 'Van Helsing' Hat

    No way I would pay a price like that! It just proves ole P.T. Barnum was right!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    An Akrubra Cattlemen in bluegrass green, it will probably arrive sometime in March.

    Show us your Guns!

    I got my little Marlin 39a Mountie yesterday. Got back to town after being gone for a week, and ran down to the post office to pick it up, along with an Arkubra hat that had arrived from Australia. I have not used it much in the last few years but that C&R license is great so you can have...

    Akubra Overload

    Try one with a wider brim. I cannot stand stingey brims, but like mine in the 2 3/4 to 3 1/4 inch range.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    We went to N Louisiana for the week, for me to attend a continuing education seminar and visit with friends and family. I only wore my Akubra Banjo Patterson so I would have less to pack.

    Show us your Guns!

    I took care of one of those, in 16 ga, for a number of years, that had belonged to my father. Back in the early 70's he let me take it to Turkey for a couple of years as we could not have rifled arms over there. After my son finished college and law school it was passed on to him. Dad had...

    Show us your Guns!

    I got lucky tonight, my wallet not so much. I won an auction for the Marlin 39a Mountie I had been wanting. Got a clean one, 1957 vintage, so it's C&R and can be shipped directly to me. By the time the check gets to New England and the gun is shipped it will probably be a bit over two weeks...

    OPEN ROAD?

    Cannot tell from the picture you posted, but in the movie it appears to have a cattleman's crease, hince my association to the open road..

    OPEN ROAD?

    My wife just turned on and old movie, Bonnie and Clyde. Clyde is wearing what otherwise looks like a straw open road style hat, but with a very wide black hatband. I had honestly never thought of that but it looks good, good enough I may take a couple of mine, a felt and a straw and have wide...

    Renault that looks like a good find. I would not mind having one, but need another centerfire like another hole in the head. I have two 1895's both in .405, late model reproductions, one a standard grade the other the high grade, coin finish receiver with gold inlays. I only wanted one and...

    Cleaning satin lining

    This is an answer to an old thread. Naphtha can be purchased at a lot of hardware stores, paint stores, big boxes like Lowes and Home Depot. Coleman fuel is a decent grade of naphtha and can be used. I purchased a rather nice Stetson Open Road off ebay that needed cleaning, so I got a tub...

    9mm or 45cal

    I think this can apply to most of the modern handgun rounds commonly encountered. With good expanding bullets they can do quite a bit of damage. Now your statement about reliability is diminished a bit if you consider other handgun rounds such as the 45 long Colt, 44 mag, and newer things as...

    Akubra Overload

    It looks a bit more dressy to me than the one with the leather band and opal. I looked at the DM site and presume that one you pictured is the moss green. I may pick up one in the sand color for summer.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I get that comment a good bit from my wife. At least for the Lawson I have coming, she said to order it as my Christmas present as she had hand surgery and could not do any shopping. Best thing is I am getting something I really wanted and will last. I was browsing the Australiangear site and...

    Akubra Overload

    Lt.Hats Which hat is that? It does not look like the Coober Pedy which has a leather band with an opal inset.

    Akubra Overload

    That's one good looking hat. I seriously thought about one, but my wife had ordered a Lawson, in loden as a Christmas present, so I decided two in the mail at once is enough.

    Akubra Overload

    I was browsing the Australiangear.com site and found two more hats now offered in BGG, the Cattleman and Coober Pedy, and on sale. I promptly ordered a Cattleman.

    Here in Texas it's rather easy, especially if you have a concealed carry permit. I just walk in, pick out a firearm, whip out the permit, they make a copy while I fill out the federal paperwork, pay, take the gun and go.

    wool felt / fur felt difference

    I don't know what difference it would make to the fur/wool whether the animal was alive or dead when being sheared. It would definitely make a difference to the shearer. Imagine trying to shear a live beaver!!
