    Looking For: beige/off-white fedora

    Hi I bought a custom Rabbit fur hat from Buckaroo Hatters in Covington TN. Mike still charges $205 for those. Shipping would be additional. While you're waiting for an ebay find, you may as well start saving up for a custom job. When you get more than what you need to the custom, and don't...

    Skills For "Living The Era"

    Hi My parents' percolator glass knob finally broke after roughly 50 years and I purchased them a replacement at Cabela's outdoor gear. Mom's been using it for more than 10 years now. My Dad's Mother had a weird looking vacuum coffee maker that had a carafe on the bottom and a boiler chamber...

    Whiskey

    Hi I was going to ask if anyone had tried any of the "Old West", or "Red Eye" old west style whiskey's, but I couldn't find anything on line to ask about. High West Distillery has some different types but they're sold out so who really cares? Oh Well I now have Rittenhouse 100 Rye, Old...

    Hi Y 'all Tonight is mufti-cultural night. I stopped by the liquor store and bought a Mason Jar of Apple Pie flavored Moonshine. I stopped by the Kabob place and got a nice Gyro. had a couple of slurps of the shine which is GREAT by the way. Then I made an Irish Boilermaker (Guinness with a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    HI Bowlerman I decided to try that stuff. One of the guys at the grocery store sized Wine Cellar of Norman OK had tried the apple and the other the cherry. Each liked what they had, so I ended up with the apple. That's the moonshine on top of the refridgerator next to my Tumwater Seattle hat...

    M1889 Campaign Hat refurb project

    Hi Dean From the pictures, uniforms weren't uniform in from 1866 until about 1918. That includes the hats. Those boys did about EVERYTHING to their campaign hats. Later

    M1889 Campaign Hat refurb project

    Hi Dean The hat looks good and period correct per the pictures in the Campaign hat thread. I like a high crown PERSONALLY though. I was wondering how long those wool hats lasted in the Indian wars etc. My British Bush hat from WW2 (reproduction by What Price Glory) was soaked in a 1 hour 3...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I drank Jamison's with water on Monday, Famous Grouse and water on Tuesday, and Jefferson's Rye Whisky and water on Wednesday (Blechhhhh). Jamison's is smooth, the grouse is pretty smooth, but the Jefferson's rye is kind of firey. It's definitely going in Old Fashioned's from now on. Later

    Show us your Militaria

    Hi V. C. Check out the NARA archives of WW2 enlistment records. There's a drop down menu of the various "previous civilian employment" you can look at. My Father volunteered to join the USAAC in July 1941 in Peoria Illinois. Dad graduated from Western State Teacher's College (Now Western...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi again Rue Nyquil is o.k., but to really get away from a cold take Night Time Alkaseltzer Cold Medicine. You'll sleep, and when you get up you'll walk about a half inch off the ground until say Noon. Great stuff. Later

    Felt hats in summer..

    Hi I suggest that you buy a Sun Body hat, they're made of grass of some sort and they're a lot tougher than Panama hats. I have four or so and wear them in the summer. I have one that I wear when I'm outside for a longer time, and it's sweat stained. If you wet/soak them every few months...

    Felt hats in summer..

    Hi I wear my Mike Moore and TonyB Roughrider hats in the summer. I have one in Bone and one in Sahara. I don't wear them for very long though. I wore a few different Sunbody hats in the summer last year when it was 115 degrees F. later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi James, I had a glass of Balantines in about 1982, in Barrington IL. The Scotch was 25 years old, and therefore about 3 years older than I was. It was great and went down like water. I'm pretty sure it was EXPENSIVE though. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi, I'll try the Highland Cream sometime. If I'm drinking cheap, I drink Bourbon. The cheapest bourbon is almost as good as some of the best. IN M OPINION, the difference between good Scotch and bad Scotch is light years. Later

    whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?

    Hi Hutch I think that the majority opinion on the lounge is that if you have a wool hat that you like and wear frequently, you should buy one JUST LIKE IT in Fur Felt because you'll be wearing it frequently for a lot more years. Just m $0.02.

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Thanks I'll add a link to this page in the wool hat thread because this is why I don't buy anymore wool hats. I can't post mine because I haven't been in a downpour since I ruined my British Bush hat. Thanks

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Hi Blackthorn How about taking a picture of that hat BEFORE you do anything to if after it dries. I have an old Wool hat that was that wet, and it went from a pretty straight taper to a 60 degree taper and went from a 7 3/8 to possibly a 7 1/8. Thanks

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Plus 1 or 2. I intensely dislike politicians. I'm originally from Illinois so I MIGHT BE SOMEWHAT BIASED about their warmth, capabilities, and integrity. Sorry, hope nobody spit out any good scotch. later
