    H! I'm a Nutria

    Hi I saw a great show about the Louisiana SWAT Team(s) going out at night with scoped bolt actions and killing off the excess population. Just wish they'd save the skins for more hats. Fun, good practice, and getting rid of an invasive species all at the same time. Later

    Pajamas in public...

    Hi Years ago (1984), a friend of mine got on one of"our airplanes" (Boeing) with his boss. Lou was dressed in jeans and a sweat shirt. His boss got on him for representing the company in a poor way. Lou replied (correctly) that he wasn't representing the company and as far as anyone knew he...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    WOW Marsha, that's an interesting take on the "reasoning:" behind their "reasoning" or possibly "lack of reasoning". I would have been in the "Why should we sell them steel to shoot at the Chinese?" group personally. I've been seeing that picture for YEARS and I never thought of the baby as...

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Hi I would definitely agree with G&T on the intelligence of working out what hat style works for you before blowing the Big $ on a hat. On the other hand, any $ spent on a wool hat is spent on LEARNING, not on a long term capital asset. My 100% fur felt hats will be round in 25 years, the...

    9mm or 45cal

    Hi, I think it is, but on the other hand, I can see doing it. I would have to be certain (like that would work in court), that I was legally allowed / obligated to shoot whoever it was; that I was close enough to hit them; and that I could pull the gun out and shoot them again and again... One...

    Economics of hat retailing

    Hi JLee, True, but Tony COULD do the same thing (Buying Custom felt) and still be substantially less expensive. The big cost driver would be the store. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Yep TxSon, you're pretty much screwed if you wanted to start saving money. There are several OTHER Western hat type threads too. John Wayne's Akubra thread evilly forced me into my next (two?) hat purchases, one Sun body to try out the John Wayne/Ford Cavalry hat look on me, and then one from...

    Pajamas in public...

    Hi I do know that the author of "Dress for Success" found that giving Department Store security guards, a sportcoat made them more authoritarian. That turned out well. On the other hand, the politicians in Downtown Chicago (for example) dress pretty well, and steal everyone blind. If you...

    Economics of hat retailing

    Hi Well, you DO get what you pay for, but IN THEORY Tony B can sell EXACTLY the same hat as Optimo in downtown Chicago for say 40% of what Optimo has to have for it because Tony is selling "from his Mother's basement" while Optimo has to pay large sums of money in rent. There are...

    Happy st. Patrick's day.

    Hi Our local liquor store puts Jamison's Irish Whiskey on sale for about $5.00 off ($15.95) for Saint Patrick's Day. I haven't finished last year's yet, being on a Rye Whiskey kick and all. I bought a back up anyway, Jamison's and water is damn good for $17 a fifth. later

    Hat etiquette at casino?

    Hi I can only hope that the Bond Era Casinos still exist somewhere in Vegas. I'm pretty sure that they don't in the Midwest. I haven't gone, but my bet is flip flops, sweat pants, and T-shirts. later

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Hi I had a guy make me a keeper (so I wouldn't have to buy a $50.00 pair of scissors at Tandy. I needed them today (March 18, 2012) working outside, thing blew around all day. Later

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Hi A Macanudo Cru Royale, I've never had anything but the Cafe's before. This cigar was $3.00 cheaper and a very good cigar. Later Y'all

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    Hi I bought the sampler of Ogallala Bay Rums. I don't like them, they don't smell as good as the Pinaud Bay Rum. I read somewhere that they have Witch Hazel in it, and I don't like it apparently. I'm also wearing Aramis that I bought in High School (1975). Later

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

    Hi Justin Last year our local establishment had Jamison's on sale for $17.00 a fifth, hope they do that again this year. Good stuff. Later

    Post New Hats Here!

    Hi Ray, you did great, that's a $60 (roughly) plastic Hammer Plastics brand case. I own two three hat ones, and a single like that one. They're great for storage, and for car travel anyway. Later

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Hi Mike Don't be TOO quick to get jealous. First of all you have to decide and try on stuff. Secondly, after you buy it you gotta store it. Third, just cause something looks good on me don't mean it will look good on you. For example, I love the way Homburgs look on several of the guys...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    That didn't come up, considering that it was OUR fault. I would say 95% on the NOT side. Everything being equal, I'd bet that the girl's TEACHER hadn't heard of it either. In Illinois (where I grew up) History Teachers taught Government and US History to all High School Juniors, and the later...
