    What you say drives me crazy.

    I find the phrase "grammar nazi" quite unsettling. If we are to make our language skills easier to use without feeling pedantic, why introduce an horrific description that could easily offend a fair amount of readers and skew the intention of the grammarian, and bring what amounts to a...

    The Boss is here

    T.E.Lawrence? That hat says adventure, and for my $ the name is T.E.Lawrence-aka Lawrence of Arabia, one of British historys' greats, and I think they invented romantic heroes; saving up my money quick for one, no matter what the name-that'll turn enough heads to keep a chiropracter busy...M

    Classical glass

    Take a look at the paintings of Ralph Goings- terrrific realist painter working with the counter settings of diners as main subject matter; great handling of old glass salt shakers, peppers, ketchup,etc., one of the finest realists out there, a pure painter without the social commentary. I...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    nice score, 5 bucks. they look very much like my everyday specs., but mine are gold, and A/O c. 1915, as far as records show.-you can grab some very cool glasses on that auction, just have to measure really carefully, and have seller show photo of temple-piece where size is imprinted.

    Feltfan-I was quite sure that the topic had been broached before, but not knowing how to track a thread properly on this site, I thought a member would be so kind as to steer me in the right direction.

    New Grey Akubra Federation

    Love that new Federation, color is one I'm not finding anywhere else; where can I look at these/buy one? And if you don't mind me prying into personals, about how much $$should I plan on spending for the Heritage -oh,just like yours? Thanks, great hat, was going to stop buying. Really. I...

    stretching a felt

    Gentlemen: I'm always running into great hats that are just a bit small for me,and I wonder if there's a guideline as to how much a hat can be stretched safely- I've got a 7 3/8 long oval head, and just found a size 5 Italian Borsalino-21 3/4 circumference. Can it be done, and if not, what...

    J.W. Marriott Sr.'s Borsalino (my new hat)

    Great job at finding the Borsalino-makes me want to get back into the Antiques biz...was a full-time shopper-fun, but risky & hard. As for the Homburg, BUY IT!! provenance,provenance,provenance! don't let it slip away, find the mug what owns it and thrust nice cash in his hand,quick, say...
