    I apologize if this is old news. This is a 5-minute segment from the TV show How It's Made showing bowlers and top hats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1UJjMC16Aw I think it was filmed at a place called Burgess Hats.

    Economics of hat retailing

    I should have been more specific. She works in Pittsburgh. She did say that once or twice a month a customer in the store buying a suit or a man off the street will inquire whether they sell hats, but it's not an occurence that happens often enough to motivate them to make the heavy...

    Cooking in the Golden Era

    That's amazing. My granny died when I was 12 but she cooked on one of those every day in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. When company was in town she would fry 2 dozen fresh eggs, bake 2 dozen biscuits, and go to the henhouse at and kill and fry 2 chickens by the time the sun came up.

    Cooking in the Golden Era

    I remember my dad and uncles slaughtering and butchering hogs every Thanksgiving for my grandpa and grandma. They would smoke some in the smokehouse, salt some and freeze the rest.

    Hat etiquette at casino?

    I think any fedora would be right at home in just about any casino. Just wear the one that you wear in smoking joints because it might pick up a tinge of cig odor, depending on the quality of the ventilation system. Wally <~~ has "smoking" and "non-smoking" outerwear

    Economics of hat retailing

    Thank you for the welcome RB. I wish I had a job where a $500 suit was everyday wear. Then again, the stress might kill me. re: your location. Is it true what they say about Dixie? Sorry, I was humming that song today as I walked the dog and watched the sweet magnolias blossom.

    Economics of hat retailing

    My sister-in-law is buyer/floor sales for a small men's fine clothing store. She said they did not carry fine hats mostly because of the cost of inventory and the reluctance of the customer who might spend $500 on a suit to spend $150 on a hat. They got in an assortment of Tommy Bahama hats...

    I-71 will work fine. Probably take the Reading Rd./Gilbert Ave. exit and that will shoot you right downtown. Walnut is one block east of Vine. Can't help you with lunch ideas. Depends on your per diem I guess :-) Last time I was down there I stopped at a place called the Backstage Deli...

    Selentino Questions

    Compared to many cities, Cincy is pretty easy to park. From Blue Ash I would go north on Reed-Hartman to I-275, west on I-275 about 3 miles to I-75 south. Take that about 15 miles south and take the 5th Street exit (it exits to the left). Go about 2 blocks to Vine St. and take a left. Go 1/2...

    Selentino Questions

    I bought a Galaxy at Batsakes in Cincinnati Friday. It was the only hat in the shop that met my fit and color needs. Gus Miller actually adjusted the size a bit as I was somewhere between a 7 1/4 and 7 3/8. I think it's beautiful but it is my first fedora. Gus and the sales lady could not have...
