    whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?

    Hi I was hesitant to do that (Scotch-guard) because I thought it might make the hat hard to reshape. Am I right or wrong? My Bush Hat but SOAKED, I was in a down pour for about 20 minutes, but it was 90 degrees so I didn't care. Personally I don't have a dog in the wool hat fight. I know...

    whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?

    Hi Wool hats are a bargain IF you follow the following rules: 1. DON'T GET IT WET. Wool shrinks, a lot, think I bought a wool sweater and washed it in the drier, now it fits Ken (Barbie's boy). Wool hats are especially prone to TAPER when wet. My British bush hat used to meet the pugaree...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Obviously Sir, you were NOT given the OPPORTUNITY to "taste" Olympia, Oly Gold, Joseph Heileman's Premium Beer, or Hamm's. We've never said that PBR is a wonderful beer, it IS however worth the $4.00 a six pack I can get it for in Exciting Norman Oklahoma. I have a few PBR's left in the...

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Hi James My old boss had a sign in his office saying, "Better is the enemy of good enough". I never liked that statement but it is true of many things. No point in paying extra for something you don't want or need. Who buys the world's best waste basket?? I need to get a bottle of Talisker...

    Beaver Brand impressions?

    Hi I FINALLY got to take a picture of my Beaver Brand hat on my way to work. I wear my black hat with my black leather jacket. It seems to work o.k. even without the blank beard. I don't get Indiana Jones comments with it at least. Front View: Top View: Side View...

    What Hatco COULD produce with modern materials and different blocks

    Hi Dad quit wearing hats during that time period, he has a couple of sixty's era stingy brims in the garage. Granny (his Mother-In_law) said that he looked stupid in them so he quit wearing hats. Grand daddy Harv (Harvey) wore a 2.5 inch brimmed fedora (brown I think) until he died in 1979...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    HI Dark hot chocolate goes well with Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps. Mmmmmmm. I noticed the grape flavored "schnapps". Which is cheaper, that stuff or grape flavored couch syrup, or MD 20/20? Same flavor, different prices?? Later

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Hi Just Civilian, I wore it with a black or white turtleneck and jeans. They're very warm. I own a What Price Glory white submarine sweater too, and it's good, but not great. The US Space Station has a method of cleaning the smells out of the place, filters and electo-static of some sort...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Hi Back in the 1990's I heard interesting stories about the later crews on Mir, Russia's Space Station. Apparently fumes made with Borsch are humbling. I just purchased a WW2 replica Mechanic's sweater, cotton, and tighter than I thought it would be. I'll work out a picture one of these...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Hi O.K. unless you're a biker this hat: has more leather than is REALLY necessary. I like the coat though. I MAY have to go the Pale Preacher route now too, but not until after I've gotten the John Wayne Cavalry Hat. Just my $0.02

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I was in the liquor store buying a bottle of Jack for the boss's Xmas Party and saw a bottle of Jefferson's Rye Whiskey. It's' O.K. but I like Sazarec and Rittenshouse a lot better. It didn't have much of a Rye taste. Later

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    Hi Use a belt sander, I have a few of those to do for the scout troop back in Wichita. Buy a very coarse belt, a medium to get the sanding marks off, and a very light one, say 400-600. It's probably worth your money to go buy an inexpensive one. Later

    Names Of Love

    Hi We have an annoying commercial here in OKC where the guy calls into a radio show complaining about his girlfriend's nickname for him: "Snuggle-muffin". He's advised to start calling her "Thunder-chunky". If I had a nickname of "Snuggle-muffin", "Thunder-chunky" would be a step up from...
