Hats on TV
Fedora comeback on TV Matt Lauer was wearing what I believe to be a Borsalino fedora this morning on the Today show. I think that was a "Borsalino" script pin on the bow when he turned on camera. He has worn a fedora in the past also but I have seen him in it already a few times this fall. He...- suitedcboy

favorite cars of the golden era
I work in technical services (training, fix cars over the phone) for one of the car makers. Timing belt lifespan has marched upwards a lot over the years. Age life of belts has gone up as well. BUT, 12 years is the most I have seen any manufacturer go for a timing belt life when it is a...- suitedcboy

Stetson "Shady Oak"
Amon Carter was the publisher/owner of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper in the 20's through his death in the 70's. This was at a time when newspaper publishers in towns of size were wealthy, powerful, and influential men. He later commissioned the Peter Brothers to make the Shady Oak hats...- suitedcboy

How can you tell the difference between rabbit and beaver felt?
I had a nice long visit with one of the western custom hatters some time back and he said the hat body maker has a lot of control in how the felt feels and its quality. The choice of the hair could make a 100% beaver have poor feel and a 100% rabbit feel very nice. The hair is not uniform all...- suitedcboy

Aargh! Salad Dressing on my Johnnyphi!
I have used corn starch with great success on light hats. The last stain was automotive rear end lube which is a heavy oil, splashed onto a 100X silver belly western. I used baby powder and dusted and re-applied two times and I can't see where it was stained now.- suitedcboy

Movies with brim snapping and crown bashing and denting?
In the past I have seen parts of movies or TV series where the characters picked up their hats and snapped the brim and shaped the crown. I would to re-watch some of them via Tivo capture or by purchasing DVD's. Can any of you give titles of movies where this was done in the movie? Thanks- suitedcboy

I'm from the old south and have had some visits to court and to other public hearings type affairs in gov't. In a small town there could be a backlash against anyone who dresses too flashy and looks like some city slicker trying to come to country to push the locals around. If it is a larger...- suitedcboy

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Point well taken. For some reason when I read it struck me as old-men's hats and not as old, men's hats but reading it again and seeing "OLD Men's Hats" makes me lean towards the old, men's hats interpretation. I may have been swayed by a teen's description of a friend who wears a cloth...- suitedcboy

Are Hats Your Main Interest?
I wish hats were the only thing I found to blow money on! In order of expenditure: Horses and their upkeep and transport, hats, western boots. Hats and boots swap places on the list at times. I might add: "if you have cheap feet then wear cheap shoes" which could be edited, "if you have a...- suitedcboy
