    Action on the Hatless Fad!

    An interesting aspect of these articles is the dating; 1928. Seems that hats were already on the way out long before JFK.

    How Do You Wear Your Hat?

    Usually straight and level for me. Most people would say that tilted back is "happy go lucky" or at least "open", right? If I tilt it back my wife says I look menacing or mean. But she's not from around here, so maybe that plays into it.

    "I want to feel like a new man"

    A better course, at least to me, is lead by example. A respected leader is emulated. Telling others what they "should" do seldom actually works. In fact, that's the course that leads to at least attempting to make "rules" to enforce that idea of what others "should" do and is doomed to...

    Quiz: Is your decor from another era?

    From the quiz, "You really need to talk to your grandmother. How do you communicate with her?" Through a medium wasn't a choice.

    "I want to feel like a new man"

    Looking around me at what the mainstream wears today I'd say you've avoided its brainwashing.

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    A taller woman is fine by me. It's my wife who would object.

    Quiz: Is your decor from another era?

    It's the hardwood floor answer skewing the results. :p (Just making that up.)

    Quiz: Is your decor from another era?

    Apparently I am too. Who knew?

    Detroit in ruins

    Just to be contrary I'll take a different position. Business buildings are built to conduct business. If there's any artistry at all it's about impressing prospective customers. Once the original business determines that business would be better in a possibly newer and/or larger building...

    How to fake sweat stains / soil cowboy hats?

    Seems so "Urban Cowboy". :p Truthfully, I think a couple of warm afternoons and a few dozen rounds through a black powder pistol, a little dust and you'd be hard pressed not to have the look. For real.

    Cheap fur felts + free shipping thu 12/31

    I'll probably leave it as is since my original plan was to use it as a fishing hat. I haven't worn it enough yet to have a feel for whether it might pill or not. But since you brought it up I've looked more closely at the felt and you could be right. It's not a dense felt, a little coarse and...

    Cheap fur felts + free shipping thu 12/31

    I received the Loden Dunedin the other day and am wearing it below: Here is a close up of the hat: It came with a functional wind cord that you can see just below the bow. The felt is fairly soft and smooth, about the same weight as my Camp Draft actually although not quite as smooth and...

    Unpopular music opinions

    I guess I pretty much like all types of music from all kinds of artists spread across many years. Some more than others, of course. But it actually has to be music. Not some collection of random grunts, shouts, clangs, bangs, discordance and obscenities played against the sound of a needle...

    The demise of VHS

    It ends when we're all fed up with this type of planned obsolescence and just don't buy into the next format. For me, there are Netflix streaming devices now where I can call up a movie when I want it, watch it on my tv, and then move on without having to take up the shelf space for something I...

    You shouldn't have

    We don't do gifts except to the grandchildren. Avoids all that awkwardness. Besides, at this stage of the game we're more interested in getting rid of 40 years of accumulated stuff than adding to it.

    Cheap fur felts + free shipping thu 12/31

    I'm in for a Dunedin. Might make a good fly fishing hat. At that price, if it falls into the water no harm.

    young people & hats

    Young people wearing fedoras contributes if it means decent fedoras at reasonable prices are widely available again. Since I wouldn't be caught dead in a plaid stingy brim, if that's what comes out of this current trend then it's irrelevant to me and hardly a revitalization. As far as hat...

    Facial Hair.....And Hats

    Was clean shaven from labor Day until a couple of weeks ago. After the novelty wore off the reality of shaving every day reasserted itself. Beard's back.

    I Lost The Basket For My Percolator Coffee Maker -

    I'd google the make and model perolator and see if direct replacement parts are available from the manufacturer.
