    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks, RBH and zetwal. Northeast Ohio is packed with city, county, state, and national parks, along with zoos, arboreta (had to check that one), and gardens of all kinds.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I often find myself wearing the same hat for several days. So here it is again - same hat, different day, at the Goodyear Heights Metroparks, Adler Pond area. It's spring peeper season in Ohio. There were so many of these guys on the ground that I'm sure some of them are still stuck to my...

    Nothing but stetson ads

    The whole "loose lips sink ships" thing was huge during the war. It was just US propaganda, the same as anywhere else. Stetson was just smart enough to capitalize on it.

    Those inflation calculators are bs, and every one of them gives a different result. Other sites give a more "what things cost" analysis. Comparing the price to things like milk, rent, and car prices tends to provide a more accurate idea of relative cost.

    SOLD - Stetson Stratoliner Original Pins

    The last time I put two Strat pins up for auction, both went by BIN within an hour. This is a rare second chance. links removed The contradiction in one ad - 4 engines in the air, two engines on the hat.

    While I'm all for preservation when possible, I'm also all about replacement when necessary. My hats will never be paperweights. Hats are for wearing

    Motor is the model name, not a quality designation, and the dating is accurate. As to the sweat, that's up to you. You can follow the Lexol/oil advice in other threads, but without having it in hand, it might be pretty far gone, requiring replacement with a new, reeded sweat. BTW, that's two...
