    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    That's what I've found. I wear my gray or nearly black caps far more than the few brown-ish caps I have.

    Wow, that's gorgeous! Too bad it wasn't an adult size. ;)

    Trucker-shorts! (shorter than Bermudas)

    Take my word for it, no one--and I mean NO ONE--would have wanted that trend to take off. For the most part, "truck drivers" aren't a particularly attractive bunch. Not much sense in exposing that much more of them to the world. ;)

    You know you are getting old when:

    I also had "the green one", but in this part of the world it didn't have the "springer" front forks or that smaller front tire. By the time I was done with it I had painted the frame black, removed the stupid "stick shift" and replaced the rear wheel, replaced the "banana" seat with a single...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I only just received it in the mail yesterday so I haven't had a chance to take any photos of it on my head, but it's a Jaxon gray Herringbone Ivy Cap with a squared brim. 50% wool, 50% Polyester, and a quilted lining. Quite comfortable!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Nice choice! That shade of gray should go well with any number of colors, and that brim will give you more than just a little protection from sun, rain, snow, birds, kids with water balloons...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    Easy answer--if you're that concerned about someone starting trouble with you simply because you're wearing a leather jacket, don't wear one. Problem avoided. That said, if you do decide to get one, above all else do NOT decorate it as if you were a member of a motor club (a.k.a. "biker...

    Trucker-shorts! (shorter than Bermudas)

    I've been a professional truck driver for four different companies since 1979. If "trucker shorts" exist, I've never heard of them except for the FedEx and UPS uniforms, and I don't consider their drivers as "truckers".

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    In southern California ski jackets (the kind with the polyester outer shell and down filling) were quite popular during the 70s and early-80s, available in almost any color. Eventually the fad wore off, and everyone moved on to whatever the next big thing was (Member's Only jackets, I think)...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    This turned up on You Tube; I'll give it a watch when I have the time. Thanks!

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Google's search engine returned results with the phrase "Ushanka hat"; that's good enough for me. ;)

    Show us their hats!

    William has one of the most forced and false smiles I've ever seen. Someone needs to teach him how to smile more naturally and believably.

    Boy, I like that cap! Mr. Lo Bue sure does nice work; I only wish I could afford it.

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    This is the street clock in the "Uptown" area of my home town: It has been hanging off of the northwest corner of this building since at least the early 1960s. The building itself, while I was growing up, was known as the "Bank of America" building simply because that was who occupied the...

    The Dobbs Diner...

    Are these "edges" merely for appearances, or do they provide a practical purpose like, say, reinforcing the edge of the brim enough to maintain it's shape?

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    You might want to think about getting yourself some non-prescription sunglasses. Maybe polarized, or some with at least a UV filter on the lenses to protect your eyes. Oh, and GREAT cap!

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm not normally a fan of red colored clothing, but I'd risk it for a cap like that. Nice!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Mark of the Vampire (1935). "When a nobleman is murdered, a professor of the occult blames vampires, but not all is what it seems." Directed by Tod Browning and filmed/produced by MGM, this movie is a loosely based remake of a lost Lon Chaney Sr. movie called "London After Midnight" (also...

    Sure, unless they're in a wireless computer mouse. Then, you're lucky if you can get a week out of 'em. Batteries suck.

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    I almost bought one of those myself, just to screw with some friends. By the time I got the website to cooperate they were sold out in my size. :( The Lady's hat features a "To go" container from a Chinese restaurant, surrounded by a ring of Fortune Cookies. Hard to tell, but I'm guessing...
