They Don't Build Them Like They Used To. Do they?
Thanks for sharing those video links ... sure brought back some great memories. I still remember the first time someone finally handed "The Hammer" his lunch ... was a kid from Pittsburgh by the name of Bob "The Battleship" Kelly -- what a great scrap!

Favorite Song/Quote
Hope I don't banned for this, but I also like Rod Stewart's and (now hold on) Barry Manilow's versions, too ... lyricist, Mitchell Parish really put a face on Carmichael's tune, no?- shoelessjoe

Help With Fly Fishing Fedora ...
Thanks to all for the replies ... all of the styles suggested would work just fine, however, it's David's, Jimmy Stewart fedora that really does it for me -- i.e., the hat band, front pinch and the front droop brim. What particular style is that and where might I find it? Taking the elements...- shoelessjoe

Greetings ... please help me in the purchase of a stylish, yet practical fly fishing fedora. Having googled and perused an infinite number of vendor's sites, I am no closer to a decison than I was, say twenty years ago. Any suggestions will most certainly be appreciated -- thank you- shoelessjoe

Born and reared in Chicago, I can say with confidence that the handle you saw belonged to his throw-down piece. All kidding aside ... Dad's cousin, a Chicago cop (retired, mid-eighties) carried a 4" S&W Model 19 and a good friend's Dad, another Chicago police officer (retired...- shoelessjoe
