    WARNING

    I'm right in the middle of an ebay mess now- guy doesn't offer insurance, then the bill includes insurance charge; bill states payment details-none specified- I'd told him I was going to pay via PayPal, he doesn't squeak until I win item, then demands either check or money order...and files...

    Douglas: Wonderful hat, I watched it soar away from my wallet...the cathedral is of course magnificent-quite fortunate to experience that-I'm not envious, just happy that another friend can appreciate history and design together; the cartouche on the wall, beneath the cross, with the skulls...

    Another new Stetson

    :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Holy jumping catfish-that's one terrific hat, at any price, which ties in with my theory of the commodification of the objet and oh never mind- 1930's is my lightly researched opinion- the crown meeting the brim with little to no flare, just a thunk! and there's...

    A Man's First Hat

    My 2 cents- his complexion, color of eyes, facial hair or not, whether he holds his head up,and looks you right in the eye,or, tends to shyness, and would hide a bit under the hat- lotsa psychological baggage attatched to clothing, and add age,need for acceptance, the current fashion, and you've...

    The Filson Thread

    What Adam said...Filson is hands-down the best, and if you break the cost down to a per year deal, the mac from Filson for $265 ends up being the cheapest coat you can buy-you'll give it to your kids, because short of being eaten by a bear, coat & all, you'll never outlive a Filson. And they...
