    I've had this happen to one of my hats. If your handy with thread and needle and a sewing machine the repair is actually not difficult. Here's what I did. I trimmed the threads holding the sweat to the felt and removed the sweat. I then trimmed the sewn edge of the sweat back just enough to...

    Hi Mini. I was the buyer for that hat so its no longer available. They only come in the med brown that I find can have a nice dark greenish brown tint in certain light. I wish they had one in a light cilor like silverbelly but they don't. Keep lookin theyre out there. Willybob.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Lets say I did something here on TFL which got me banned. If I was really out of line, would I want to Mods/BTs to tell members in open forum what I had done? Out of respect for the "offender" the Mods/BTs are going to keep their mouths shut until the offender says he's cool with it. They have...

    Negative comments about your jackets from others

    I live in a community full of horse people. Many of my co workers own and ride. I expect some might give me the big "Ewww!" if they knew so if asked what my Aero is made of I just tell em its 100% recycled. If they press the question I just make sure they understand Mr Ed didn't need it any longer.

    Clean Jokes

    Wow. I know I'll probably get grief over this but I think some of you have missed the point of the OP. I have'nt tuned in for a while and noticed some very funny jokes, and maybe a few not so funny, that probably belong on a "Not so clean jokes." thread. Just sayin.

    Post script: Not all hippies are dirty. I wash my tie-dye once a week, right after I'm done cleaning my .45 in preparation for hunting Antifa.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you all for your kind comments. The lighting does not portray the color well. Its a standard silver belly. This pic shows the color better. I wore this hat in the rain often and it did shrink so I re blocked it. I'm curious to find out if it will reach a point of no more shrinkage or...

    Looking for hat information?

    I second Moon's assertion. I purchased a modern Stetson Strat and found it to be very deficient. The felt was thin (lacking density), flimsy and poorly pounced. I have several older felts that are great, a few Akubra's which are excellent hare felt, and a custom Beaver hat coming from Blacksheep...

    Art featuring "leather" jackets

    Found this "bronze" A-2 during a visit to Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto Ca. Thought, "What knucklehead would leave that hanging in a public area unattended?" Fooled me. This artist knows good subject matter. One heavy stiff A-2. Veg tan or CX ?
