    The Pen

    Another fan of fountain pens here. I use a Conway Stewart big fat pen at work but don't carry it around much as I am sure I'd destroy it. My carrying pen is some alloy rollerball (I know, it's embarassing) that I think one could drive through plywood. At least I've not broken it yet.

    Fur felt types?

    A hatmaker in Colorado has a hat where the felt was made from hair brushed off his Golden Retriever. That's about as strange as I can think of (but a neat looking felt, too).

    The "Organic" Trend - do you believe the hype?

    Thanks! My few cents worth - I think organically grown food tastes better, but unless (like you just did) I get by a farmer's market or run into someone who's gardening, I won't pay the much higher prices for it at a grocery store. I really don't have an opinion on mass-produced with chemicals...

    Ladies with cigarettes

    A lady smoking is smoking hot. Especially Lucky Strikes. (So, I like ZZ Top...) My 2 cents.

    The "Organic" Trend - do you believe the hype?

    I was going to comment, but I must have wandered in late. This thread is drifting way out from what I was initially expecting. Please continue, and pardon my interruption.

    Whats on your Christmas list for this year????

    Yes! We had Christmas cookies. Unfortunately, the hand mixer ended up melting and then throwing out sparks before its quite timely flight out the front door and into the yard (I was in a big hurry to get it out of the house).

    Something I noticed in people's pictures

    I'm sorry, I poorly worded my comment - it was intended toward the book, as in if you've read the book, then the ideas presented would lead the reader to think that someone in service/combat would be tense, since he/she would be fighting an inward battle regarding orders to kill and the...

    Something I noticed in people's pictures

    Good recommendation. While I don't always agree with Col. Grossman, actually I agree very little with him, he does hit the nail on the head with this very good book. I think it would well explain why many service people don't smile. Oh, and I'm still ugly so Gus will smile for me when he...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    DJS -- on the Aero, I am kind of leaning your direction, to get one without the sheepskin so I can wear it more of the year. Not positive yet, of course... I have worn a Filson Double Mackinaw for 10+ years. You can't go wrong. Beat it to death and just keep going. I didn't get the shearling...

    Do you own a Tux?

    No, I don't have a tux, though I would love to own one. But, out here in the sticks, there would just be no place to wear it. My buddy Gus, however, wears his all the time (my avatar). He looks stunning.

    Removing Blood Stains?

    While I can't comment on removing bloodstains, I would certainly recommend that you back up a few steps before shooting the bad guy. Saves on cleaning. :D

    Patches on your A-2

    As you said "ANY," I'll comment, but not regarding A-2s specifically, since I'm waiting on an A-2 just now - I have had an incredible amount of patches sewn on motorcycle heavy cowhide leather jackets and vests. I'd ask a biker as the people I've run into who sew patches on biker leathers have...

    The Get of All Gets, Barbour International...

    That is a fantastic looking coat. I have thought about one for many years, but never could find one and a vintage Triumph at the same time. May you truly enjoy wearing it! [well, of course I'm being cordial, what I'd like to say is - hey, why didn't I find it???] I wonder if it would...

    ThinkGeek's "Officially Licensed" Indiana Jones Fedora

    Yes, that's Gus. When the photo was taken, he would fit inside an Adventurebilt (not that I knew what one was then). He's about 35 pounds now, pretty big for a Boston Terrier, and he could probably wear my Adventurebilt - he's about as fat-headed as I am. He doesn't bark at my fedora - smart...

    Whats on your Christmas list for this year????

    One of those (actually bigger - you know how guys are...more power) was a Christmas gift to my wife years back. A few days before Christmas, she was making a ton of cookies and asked me to knead the dough with a hand mixer. Several minutes later, I asked her if it was normal for smoke to come...

    ThinkGeek's "Officially Licensed" Indiana Jones Fedora

    Alas, my hat has my initials punched into the leather sweatband. And my initials are not IJ - and no pin either!! Perhaps if I write "Indiana Jones" on my forehead, I'll join the officially licensed club. However, I do have some official Indiana Jones bullwhips! They are an [almost] exact...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Thank you all for your comments. Decisions, decisions. DJS Press - I was initially considering a B3 but backed off of that a bit due to a thread here about temperature ranges and comments where above 30 degrees F, it would be too hot. On the other hand, when I lived in West Chester, PA, I wore a...

    Something I noticed in people's pictures

    KeyGrip - that hat is stunning. I smile so little that at work I'm just known as "mean and ugly." So, I generally use a much better looking photo subject, like my buddy, Gus (my avatar). He smiles if he likes something and pees on it if he doesn't. Otherwise, he's snoring lol

    Filson's Packer coat?

    I've been wearing a Double Mackinaw Cruiser for about 10 winters, maybe longer. I really liked the Packer but passed on it because I was afraid I would stain the sheepskin collar beyond hope. The coat is heavy, does well in wind up to about 30-35 mph and is warm to below zero (with a wool vest...

    Am I the only one annoyed by leather sweatbands?

    I wear a hat about 300 days a year and have for 20+ years. And, I have an odd-shaped head. "Extra extra long oval" is how one hatmaker described it. I've found for me to be comfortable, it takes a #1 ace hatmaker to get the right fit and once I find that maker, the hat will come with really soft...
