    I had a fight with my wife tonight....

    Look at the bright side, at least somebody reads the washing instructions now... :D Heck of a marketing idea too. Like it or hate it, you've seen it and it is MARKETEDDDDD. Later

    The Great Beer Thread

    Why YES YOU ARE, Barley Wines, Imperial Stouts, and Scotch Ales have say 6 times the calories of your regular beer. Drink two and you'll be slightly drunk, and way too full to stand up. Later

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Hi, I think that Prohibition did away with a lot of the breweries, you don't need to keep beer cold to keep it fresh (like Coors), but you do ice cream. Soda used to be more regional than local. At least there used to be several Southern Sodas including Dr. Pepper, Double Cola, and Royal...

    New Hat

    First of all, I don't own (yet) either an Optimo or one of Art's. But in Optimo's defense, they DO have a store front in Chicago. A store front in Covington TN is costing Mike Moore and he has to make ends meet. A store front in Chicago means that Optimo has larger ends to make meet... :p...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Hi Tom MY grandfather told me about working the railroad back before Prohibition. He said that all of the towns in Western illinois had their own brewery back then. He said it was all better than what you get now (1977 in that case). Most of the breweries left a keg tapped at the brewery and...

    The Great Beer Thread

    To add to what John mentions, and being OBVIOUS, Barley Wines do NOT equal Scotch ales. I don't like (as opposed to really hate) Barley Wines, but I like most Scotch ales I've tried. Some of the Barley wines I've had were almost sticky, like a movie theater floor. I also like Scotch ales much...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Hi, you might want to be sure you're comparing apples and apples. Beaver brand sells everything from straight wool, to bunny, to all beaver. Same shape and color doesn't necessarily mean same hat. Like Stetson, they're not exactly forthcoming about beaver content etc. I found Beaver Brand...

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Hi See my hat in the following thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?34367-BUCKAROO-BONANZA!-The-Hats-that-Major-Mike-Moore-Makes&p=1380952&highlight=bone#post1380952 I copied it from the Rough rider's hats in the Spanish American war. If you order one from Major Moore in...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Hi Ray No matter what WE think, if YOU don't like the way it looks on you, you'll never wear it (except maybe Halloween). I used to have a sport coat that I bought for Halloween, but that's food for another post. I'd say sell that thing, all it will do is take up space in your closet. Later

    Are You Brave Enough to Share Your Prom Photos?

    Hi I wasn't so much a wall flower, but I didn't attend Senior year because I slept thought it. I lived within spitting distance of the high school gym, and hadn't slept through a prom since the age of 4 due to the bass from the band. I had college entrance exams from 8 AM until 6 PM on our...

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    Hi I dress semi-IJ most days. I wear heavy cotton long sleeve shirts with two flapped pockets, khaki pants in either tan, stone, or olive. I own a decent camel sport coat, but no real tweed at this point. I don't own a brown leather jacket yet, but I do own the black one. I have several...

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    Gawd Edward, now I have to go into one of those fetish shops and buy a black riding crop to match my black leather jacket and black fedora. I'm sure to be embarrassed. Sheppler's Western Wear only has the buckskin colored ones. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Hi, that color is undyed natural. Jaxonbilt, Tumwater hats, Art Fawcett, and Buckaroo hatters all carry it. I'm sure most other custom guys do too, it's one of the colors that Winchester (I think) makes there in Tennessee. Roy at Jaxonbilt, and Mike at Buckaroo hatters will both do what ever...

    Western, anyone?

    Western, anyone?

    Hi I have a double loop braided leather stampede string on my Jaxonbilt Campaign hat, and a plain leather stampede string on my Sun Body Rough-rider hat and on my Resistol hat. It kind of helps in Kansas where 20 knots is a calm day. I really need to do pictures of them, but I don't have the...

    WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread

    Hi I was at the gun show in Wichita KS today and there were say 10 reenactors. Most in uniform were under 25, which is a good thing. I assume that their parents are footing the bill because reenacting is NOT a cheap sport. Garands are 1095.00 (not from the CMP), Mosin Nagants are $90 to 150...

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

    Hi Even here in the Old West, Wichita KS, you have to have a fenced backyard in order to get a dog license. My neighbor's dog gets out all of the time anyway. Later

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hi James I love Mel Brooks stuff, he rolls over EVERY cliche, stereotype, and taboo known and usually in a PG-13 movie. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, History of the World Part I, and Robin Hood, Men in Tights. I'm glad that Cleavon Little did the part of Sheriff Bart, he...

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

    HaHaHaHa (repeat a few times). An old friend of mine started on the road to adoption back in the late 1909's early 2000's. His youngest kid was 20, married, and had a kid, Jim still had the 4 bedroom house with pool to they started on the road to adopting a kid. After two or three years of...
