    WTB: Original or reproduction Stratoliner pin

    The Strat pins do face backward, and the DC-3s look like they're going down. All of this seems to have been planned by the anti-Don Draper.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    You paid top-dollar (at least for that moment, as established by your win) in a well-listed auction for a hat you're going to sell? Good luck. Moving up 3 sizes will also cost you the sweat, a lot of brim and, if it still concerns you, most of the resale value of the hat - along with the...

    Thanks. Yes, it's got a great curl to it. I believe this might be rlk's original photo of it. the bottom is quite a mess. I also think I may have killed the leather. I did a lot of running with the pup and the leather got very dark from sweat in front. When I got home, I put a little...

    U.S. Federal Trade Commission alerts hat industry regarding mislabeling of hats

    There is nothing to support this. Best guesses are that 7xCB and 100 are both pure beaver, but the 100 is 100% beaver belly. Not all blends are of different animal furs . There are also blends of furs with different characteristics and qualities that come from the same type of animal.

    Vintage versus modern ´quality´

    Here's what I've read: I want an answer to my question. No one has the answer to my question. I refuse to do my own research to answer my question. It's a sad story, often told... by short-term, former members.
