    Any opinions on hats by Jos. A. Bank?

    Hiya Teach I think that he can buy the $30.00 hat and see how he likes wearing a more real hat. If he hates it, he's out $30.00, if he loves it, he can save up $200 plus and get a new Buckaroo hatter, Falcon Park, Tony B, etc fur felt hat. I just think he needs to know that a wool hat is a...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi James The Black and tans were good. Harp may be Irish Miller, but in general Irish, British, and German beer is much better than American Beer. IN GENERAL.... The darn Mexican's export their crap beer (Corona) and many American's actually buy it. Getting your richer annoying neighbors to...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Hi This is my Resistol with a taupe ribbon: The color changes in indoor light and natural outdoor light. Same hat, different brim and crown, but outdoors in the winter: Hope this helps.

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

    Hi Justin gave a good write up on the Lapua. Hog hunting isn't that popular here either, but the damn things were let go / escaped, and they sure tear up your property. Hogs and Coyotes are probably the worst annoyances these days. I know several guys who have a hunting license solely to...

    The Nomonhan Incident / Battle of Khalkhin Gol (1939)

    Hi Col. Tsuji comes up in a lot of places. His policies in the Philippines pretty much got General Homma executed after the war. He started the war as a Colonel and ended it as one, which would be odd in any other armed service given his influence. http://www.warbirdforum.com/tsuji.htm later

    Hi The .50 Beowulf is a round designed for the AR-15 platform. It's legal to hunt with in many states, but you have to limit the number of rounds in the magazine for deer (probably). If I was somewhere where I could hog hunt on a regular basis, the .50 Beowulf would be a good round. I would...

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

    Hi I wasted all of my couth for the month of September at Walmart. I was walking in with my 80 year old Mom and we met a good 60 or really gnarly 45 year old woman with her boy friend. Wild gray and red hair, Daisy Dukes, sandals, and a large T-shirt inscribed with the words "Drink until you...

    Any opinions on hats by Jos. A. Bank?

    Hi Wool hats are not a long term investment. Do a few searches on this site, but basically they're fine until they get wet. They shrink, they shrink a lot. On the other hand, $30 for a wool hat is a good deal and if you are careful to NOT wear it in the rain it may last a year or hopefully...

    Hi I own a couple of those Khukri's. I bought the first because it just looked cool. After owning it for a few years, I needed to chop up some limbs from a Tree I cut down. It's like having a single handed axe that you can't miss with. They're GREAT tools and they still look cool. I just...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I went to the Dublin Pub in Springfield Illinois last night. They have Guinness and Harp on tap. I had a couple of Guinness and a couple of Guinness / Harp Black and Tan's. I also had a Reuben sandwich with Green beans cause I'm a health nut. I don't even wanna know how many calories...

    Ok a hat I love but my wife hates it .....

    Hi Bill There are a couple of problems with the hat / clothing etc. First and foremost, your expression says you don't belong in the hat. Somewhere in the Western hats section there's a picture of Tom Mix and Calvin Coolidge wearing a hat of similar color and size. They both looked good in...

    What colour fedora?

    Hi PERSONALLY I'd go with the Silver MIST for dark blue. Silverbelly is an earth tone, while Silver MIST is a black / gray family. Most Silverbelly in MOST lights appears to be tan, but can look slightly pink in the right light. Again PERSONALLY, I don't like Silverbelly much. It's not tan...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    HI I drove from Norman OK to see Mike, then drove home to see Mom in Illinois. It was (obviously) worth the extra 150 or so miles to get an opinion, and a hat that's what I wanted. I live a whole 4 miles from Schaefer Hat Works, who also does Cowboy action shooter's hats, but I've never seen...

    is the hat too small?

    Hi If you can stretch a hat, one whole size, you're lucky. Hat Stretchers all seem to be the same. I bought one from Shepler's for $11.00 and two at Harbor Freight for $2.00 and they're exactly the same as far as I can tell. A few people make stretchers that touch more of the hat band, but I...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    Plus a few on this Flashheart. I truly wish that everyone would stick to the old German Beer Purity law limiting ingredients to water, malted barley, hops and yeast. Lager on

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    Hi Rusty I'll try and set something up this spring. Mike is ordering me a Silver Mist to make a John Wayne Cavalry hat. He's special ordering it to have more crown room than normal. The plan is to keep trying crowns until it seems to work. This is probably months away though. I guess I'm...

    Black Friday!

    Hi Shopping is no fun once the kids aren't happy at Toys R Us. I asked my 20 year olds what they wanted for Xmas and both said "I don't know." I said, want money? "Yep." If I win at the ATM then their Xmas will be happy I guess. I won't even participate in Cyber Saturday this year, I'm...

    Favorite Christmas movies

    Hi I love Holiday Inn, but dislike White Xmas because it copied Holiday Inn. My kids like the Home alone series. My son watches them every Xmas season at some point. I've only seen each once, but we used to put the TV / VHS player between the front seats in the van and I HEARD both every...

    Hat for a Cleric in a Plain Black Suit?

    Hi This is a western hat, but the idea is unique: A Fedora or a bowler with this hat band would be interesting. Later
