The past 2 days this has been on me head. Hats in The Belfry cotton duckbill pub cap. the only difference between this picture and my wearing it yesterday and today is I wore it in the proper manner. It's just been too damn ho...............er, nice to not try and get a little sun, yeah, sun...
I believe I am the first victim of this mystery that MOON referred to. I have tried everything and I do mean EVERYTHING to remove it, nothings worked.. My solution is this: I am going to live with it. Honestly, no kind of snobbery being applied or hinted at here, this hat just isn't that...
Meaning no disrespect, are you guys translating it first? The 4 flags at the top, click on the Union Jack see how that goes for you. I have never had a problem, weird. I recall a while back you had mentioned maybe checking them out, Bob. I didn't want to come across as a cheerleader for them if...
Art used to make these, but I am NOT so sure he does anymore. He was a stickler for period correct ribbon he was having a hard time finding it, and a few other things, dimensions related.
While I was waiting for my VS I came across these guys I contacted www.cappelleriamelegari.com they do a...
When I was going through chemo and having just discovered this site, THIS was the hat that started it for me. I am not a collector, nor do I like to pose for pictures with me and what I do have. BUT this movie , "Last Man Standing", and the look Bruce Willis had with the "HAT" drove me to get...
This is my Northwest "Playboy" hybrid. Whisky, 2 1/4" brim, 5 3/4 crown and 1 1/2" ribbon. I only have 3 very good hats, My VS Silhouette, the Fed IV, and this baby. No dough for anything right now too many other headaches. Really love how this lid fits.
Thanks you guys, I really did not expose the band to any steam I was holding the hat upside down, sort of like palming a basketball, only on the inside. I tried the Lexol thing, to no avail.......
Can any of you folks help me with something? Last night I was steaming my brim on my Fed IV to stiffen it and shape it a bit now the sweat band has some kind of a sticky thing going on. Any advice would sure be appreciated.
A little late for the party, but you know better late...........Bruno is doing a local auto dealer commercial here in the Pittsburgh area, I would like to know how old he is, looking a bit rough. Anybody remember his cousin Dominic DiNucci? All arms and legs, hardly any torso, looked like a...
A couple years ago I caught the fever for an original Lee 101-J Rider jacket, the same as I wore as a kid and into my twenties, after MUCH searching I found a 1964 version for a little over a hundred bucks on E-Bay. Though not perfect, it's almost unbelievable in it's condition. All the...
UPDATE! for what its worth I believe I stumbled on a cure for the "can't seem to get the iron rangers to break in blues". Actually my wife heard this from somebody, the solution: pack the offending boot/boots as much as you can with wet newspaper and just let it set until the paper begins to...
Running around the 'Burgh. Mama's birthday. My semi -custom "Playboy" clone from Northwest. 2 1/4" brim, 6" open crown, raw edge 1 stitch, 1 1/2" ribbon
in Whisky great lid! I obviously DO NOT know how to load a photo....I'll get there.
From everything I have researched and as much as what info IS "out" there, a 1964 Lee 101-J, 48 long. Lee denims have been my favorites since I was a young-un. I have recently gotten the fever again and found this beauty (I still CANNOT believe the denim is in this great shape) last year on...
I'm not the kind of person to model their hats. More power to the rest of you folks, but being that it is Fawcett Friday, I have to give a shout out to Art for getting my "baby" back to me just today and looking fine. He's a true craftsman no doubt about that, period.
It's a tribute lid to the...
