    Moving Sale- Penneys Marathon 7 1/8

    Slate gray Penney's Marathon 7 1/8. I will say though this 7 1/8 is probably closer in size to a 7 1/4 than to a 7, because it is too big for me. The felt is in good shape, but has one moth nibble on the top of the brim near the brim binding. The sweat is in good shape. I will say it is...

    Rick I wish I could give you a really good answer on that. I wear a 7 LO or a 7 1/8 and the hat is much too big for me.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I didn't mean to hijack this thread to take it on a tangent on panama hats. Buy whatever you like and spend your money however you like. I don't mind spending money on quality and often do on things I value spending for quality or sometimes out of necessity. Many people ask me constantly why...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I would say also that some people sell only the highest quality hats with very little offerings for less perfect, less costly items for those that can only afford that. If Optimo and BB want to only sell the finest grade of hats that is up them. They have a standard that they will only accept...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I've heard from more sources than TFL and by those who have no knowledge or connection to TFL. PB isn't the only one who offers hats for a fraction of the cost. Be my guest is what I would say to anyone who wants to pay more huge amounts more for something than can be had for less. Lots of...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    His hats are certainly nice looking. Beautiful in fact. That said, Panama Bob sells hats as well made for a tiny fraction of the cost as well as paying the weavers more money for the hats than BB does. Several other sources do the same. I have heard of his business practices for many years...

    Western, anyone?

    I don't know whether I like my boots or hats better either. They are all old. The newest boot in the pic is probably 12-13 years old, the crocs. I went back and labeled what the hats and boots are in the original post. The Lucchese are unquestionably the most comfortable. I must admit I do...

    Damascus barreled gun were sure some of the finest works of metallurgical arts ever made by the hands of man. As amazing as some of the finest swords. Wonderful Parkers DG.

    Golden Era Hunting Equipment

    What you are thinking about is damascus barreled shotguns. The problem with damascus barrels is that they were made of thousands of welds and layers and painstaking detail. It is a lost craft unfortunately. If you allow a damascus barrel to rust it will permanently weaken at weld points. No...
