    Loungers' Pets

    OK. I had to get in on this one. Here are some photos I've gathered over the years of my current furry companion... http://new.photos.yahoo.com/michaelgarcia13/album/576460762396308825

    Akubra Federation in Tawny Fawn - Photographs?

    I have a Campdraft in Regency Fawn, which I special ordered with Hats Direct. When inquiring, Ron didn't realize I had never seen Tawny Fawn, so he described Regency Fawn as being very similar, and if I liked one, I would like the other. Based on that and what the folks at COW have said, I'd...

    Scratch that... Oh, to be David Duchovny! lol Sorry. Had to. I loved that show, but I loved Gillian first. I hated that the show got so convoluted that it lost track of itself by the end. :( So, if they go "non-mythology" with the new movie, I'll be happy. NB

    Loungers' Pets

    Wow, this thread has some wonderful pictures of some beautiful animals. I wish I had a better shutterbug impulse, but I'll have to see if I can scrape together some shots of my pal. Thanks for sharing these. NB

    The Blackboard Jungle

    Almond Joys can kill... especially when frozen! I saw it in college as part of my teacher education program. Should have also been part of the social issues courses. Awesome and relevent film, even today. NB

    Vintage "Adventurer" hat.

    An aptly named hat. Think of it as your Millenium Falcon... an old piece of junk, but it's your old piece of junk, and you love it! ("Easy baby, hold together.") Great beater Dinerman. Have fun with it. NB

    Akubra CEO

    If it's between gray and black, go with black. Black goes with anything, though some will say it's too dressy. It's a matter of opinion, though. Don't worry about the black of the hat not matching the black suit. The texture is completely different anyway, so it won't matter. Brown will...

    My New Federation

    Great choice, Bob. The felt will soften as it ages. Playing with it and wearing it in all types of weather will really help. When the crown softens up from a few rains, it will probably be more willing to take the diamond crease. Enjoy. NB

    Rules for wearing a straw hat

    That's it, I'm moving to Alaska! I wear my felts as long as I can get away with it. But once it gets truly hot, I just can't. Felt makes me sweat in the winter! Like RedPop, I'm hoping to to stay in felt until April. Even then, if I go out on a cooler night, I might give in. NB

    JPD

    My best luck contacting him is by phone, middle of the day sometime or early evening. I got him on a Saturday or Sunday once. NB

    My Treasure From Art

    Spectacular! Is that Blue Smoke? Anyway, try a little steam on the pinch, first. I usually just hold it in place for a few minutes after the steam. Or, if you have water you trust (distilled or spring), dampen the pinch with cool water and hold in place. Don't squeeze hard. Just enough to...

    Help my friend pick a name for her shop

    How about "The Tattoo Boutique", or "The Ink Spot" (playing on the old band the Ink Spots).

    Men rejoice! High armholes are back..

    Pardon my ignorance, but what the blazes are "high armholes"???? I mean, if they get higher, as I understand the meaning, I'll always have to hold my arm up over my head. lol

    Miller hats info

    I have extensive experience with Miller hats. They were my main hats for a while, so here's what I know. The light gray Manhattan is really nice. The felt is soft, smooth, and the color is fantastic. In my opinion, it is the nicest hat that Miller sells. I have never seen a brown one...

    Help me sell my homburg!

    As a buyer, I'll tell you what I look for in a hat auction. Good, clear information. Tell them what you see - the color (despite the photo), any damage or marks, what's on the sweatband, size, and measurements. If there's a tag in it, include that info. Instead of paying to post a bunch of...

    Considering a custom fed

    I love this hat, but I like the green version even more. Unfortunately, it wouldn't go well with anything I own! :cry: :eusa_doh: NB
