Hmmm, that half-breed is the right idea but the wrong shape and brim size. I'd have to talk to them but the price is currently beyond me. Darn! Oh well, something else for my wish list . . .
When I first opened this thread and saw those hats I though they were just a delightful eccentricity. However, upon further consideration I'm getting the feeling that they actually make a great deal of sense. The straw top gives ventilation superior even to the Tilley's with the mesh side and...
It made sense for the Walker to be heavy. Though it was the most powerful BP revolver ever made, it wasn't designed as what we today would consider a sidearm. It was a dragoon weapon and normally carried in a pair on each side of the pommel. A pair of those in that caliber with that much...
Benny, I read a long time ago that there was a time in Australia when businessmen switched over to suits with shorts in the summer time. I have never seen a photo of any such and can't find any on the web. Was this true or some kind of bizarre antipodean myth?

Yeah, with a retired Marine general in charge these days, Colt can't seem to get beyond it's rifles and the 1911 variants. Except for the SAA, their revolvers are nothing but a whisper of history. No wonder S&W outsells them by an order of magnitude. If it weren't for government contracts...
I dunno, guys. I needed to run over to Nordstrom's today (only place close by where a man can buy a decent dress shirt and tie) and walked by a shop called "Lids". Normally the place is wall-to-wall ball caps but today, wonder of wonders, a quarter of the store was stingy brim hats. Now...
Coming up tonight, broasted game hen, pasta al pesto alla milanese, green salad all washed down with a '08 old vine Zinfandel. But since it ain't cooked, I don't have any pictures. :p
