    Hi Andy My new Buckaroo hatter John Wayne hat has the diamond crease, I like the way that crease looks. Good job on the DIY. Later

    When wearing shorts become acceptable for grown men?

    Hi Maybe that's why everyone back in the early part of the last century was skinnier, they were wearing a suit and tie to church for two or three hours a week with no air-conditioning. Back in the 1980's and before, everyone I knew wore a suit to church most Sundays. later

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Yep, Wool hats are like department store gold fish. They look nice at first, you can decide if you like them or not, but then they die (or shrink). Don't get too attached to them... :D

    Where were you when the lights went out?

    Hi My Mom's house in Illinois has a new gas stove, sold to her by an appliance dealer who only (usually) sells electric appliances. He sells her a gas stove because he lived next door for about 30 years and his family has benefited from being warmed by the old one. For about a week, we ran...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    HI Well, I've got the ingredients, I guess I'll have to try both tomorrow night. I have Rose's lime juice and some cheap gin since I'm not drinking all of it in G&T's anyway. Later

    Clearwater hats

    Hi You may also want to check out Tim Bender. I don't own any of his stuff, but he's well respected in the Cowboy Action Shooting crowd. http://benderhats.com/ Later

    Seeking Help on Choosing a Civil Version A-2

    O.K. I never watched that show, but me and about half the guys on the Lounge resemble that remark. I would assume that Wranglers purchased on sale at Atwoods would qualify as bad jeans (as opposed to Bad Genes...). Later

    Yea or "oh, no!"?

    Hi Several of those hats would be great for hunting in many conditions. I would NOT buy the less expensive Wool ones, but I know that several Western hatters make a camouflage Fur Felt hat. If I actually had time to hunt, I'd own one. It would be similar to buying an olive drab, brown, tan...

    Whats your favorite Hat for warm weather

    Hi If you have a chance, try before you buy. I ordered one from Village hat shop. I wore it less than 30 seconds because I thought I resembled a mushroom with it on. It sat in the basement for a few years until I gave it to a hatter to sell at a music festival... later

    Any Tips on safari outfit?

    Ha Ha That may be the story I remember. I don't have the books here in Oklahoma to check it out though. Capstick's books are great, but he wasn't sober much from what I understand. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    HI I had an Old Style in a bar in downtown Tulsa. They had Marshall IPA, which is VERY hoppy, but since I was driving I tried an Old Style. I hadn't had one since the 1980's. It wasn't as bad as I remembered. Not much flavor, but a decent lighter beer. Later

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi Check the time period. That would have been written when the World's Jews were moving to what is now Israel and the British Army was trying to keep them out. No massacres etc that I'm aware of, but there was some fighting / bloodshed. At some time, both ole Adolph and the Jews didn't...

    Whats your favorite Hat for warm weather

    Hi I own an inexpensive Panama with a narrower brim than I usually wear, but it's nice. I own four Sun Body hats, but they're kind of hot. I have one that I wear when I'll probably get sweaty. I also wear a bone, un-lined Fedora or a lined Sahara Fedora when it's not over 85 degrees F. I...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hey Justin, if you like BBQ, i.e. smoky tastes, try Laphroaig. Their 10 year old is pretty good. I'm not the Connoisseur that James is, but I'm trying a few new things. I don't care much for any of Johnny Walker's stuff either. The least expensive Scotches I can stand so far are Dewar's...

    Better Deal - Optimo or VS

    Hi I'm not sure which is better or worse, Art and Tiffany steering you towards their favorites, or a guy (not the owner) at another shop telling me I looked great in anything I tried on. At least Hatman Jack in Wichita worked with me on a hat until to quote him "I was wearing the hat, not the...

    Better Deal - Optimo or VS

    HI Alan Same here, not on this thread cause I don't own either, but elsewhere. In some cases, I've written, re-written, deleted, and re-written, and still not sent. I guess it beats the heck out of paying a therapist. Later

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Hi No you should NOT feel inferior, but lucky. Can you find out what your wool hats were treated with? Mine (I promise to post pictures here, I found the hat) shrunk, but it DID get soaked, 3-5 inches of rain at 80 plus degrees soaked. It is really no longer wearable. If you find a size and...

    Hat help

    Hi I DON'T have anything for sale, but I will SECOND History Teach's suggestion that you NOT buy a wool hat. If you get it in the rain, it will SHRINK. It used to fit you, now it fits your ventriloquist's dummy. There is a thread here promoting wool hats, and they are fine until they get...
