Ah, the fun of Ethnic Slurs.
I was more than a little shocked to see the word Dago used so flippantly. But then I put it aside assuming MAB was of a different nationality to me and as such followed different social norms. After all his profile says that he's from Cool Town and Dago might well...
I use shellite not naptha, (might be the same thing just named differentlu in Aus?). Once I'm done I filter it through some cheesecloth and put it back to use again next time.
Akubras vary in thickness,
I have several (as do my kids).
The dress hats are a lot thinner and softer than the cowboy ones. But even amongst the cowboy ones there is variety. My thickest is an Arena, my cattleman is thinner and my stylemaster thinner again. But my son's Lancer is thinner (and...
Well,
OK I'm not in high school
nor am I in Minnesota.
But if I was I'd be upset right about now
"...students will find a new "no head-wear" policy in place when they return to school in September. The Prior Lake-Savage school board approved the policy on Monday as part of the 2008-09 school...

The only time I ever have a feather in my hatband is if I pick up a nice one while out walking. Now, living in Australia I get a nice choice of colourful feathers lying around from blues, reds and greens of the parrots to the yellows of cockatoos or the blue black of the...
I posted a link to this on another thread, but thought I'd put it up here too.
It's my boy in his new Akubra Airstream. Which cost me the princely sum of $4.75.

I'm first
Picked up this one today (for $4.75)
It's a little large for my son, but will probably be his next hat (once we clean it up).
Anyone care to guess its age?
It's an Akubra Airstream Pocketweight. It has a very deep c-crown (and a small hole at the pinch)
It is superfine felt...
Oh...
Too true,
I was at a weding two weekends ago seated at a table of Gen X and Gen Y folk. we managed to have a nice discussion of correct wedding etiquette which was sparked off when almos everyone at the reception sat before the bride.
The group I was sitting with were all very happy to learn...
joining the chorus
Don't hurt the hats,
no,
really. These are great hats, stuff some paper in the sweat or fold the leather over to make them wearable for you but neither of them deserve to be cut.
Plus, neither of them will become fedoras. If you want a fedora look buy one and keep these...

Was going camping and realised I'd forgotten to pack a book, so I grabbed a penguin Great Expectations as for some reason I have never got around to reading it.
I am enjoying it immensely.
