my new-to-me 5X Resistol
thanks to all Thanks to everyone who posted such kind words about the new fedora. Positive reinforcement is a good thing, so now I just need to make time to take pictures of my other hats, although none are vintage. French -

my new-to-me 5X Resistol
response to Rick Blaine Hi Rick, I don't know, as I purchased the hat after it had been converted. Maybe Razzman, the Lounge member I purchased from will see this thread and chime in, otherwise, you could send him a PM. I'm guessing it cost less than I paid for the hat, which was less... -

my new-to-me 5X Resistol
Hi, Yesterday I received a 5X Resistol Silverbelly with Maroon ribbon & edge binding. I purchased the hat from Razzman, who had Major Moore convert a Western into this fedora. The sweat has "XXXXX Beaver" written on the front, and "Resistol Self-conforming" written over the right ear... -

Will Obama wear a topper for his Inauguration?
love to see it, but not likely While I think he should wear a topper, I don't think it will happen. During my life (born in 1970) I don't remember any president-elect wearing a hat at inauguration. I do think Mr. Obama will wear a timeless suit, as he seems aware of his place in history... -

Anybody join me for evening coffee?
evening coffee I almost exclusively drink decaf, so my after dinner coffee, when I have one, is usually a decaf espresso, made with whatever single origin bean I've most recently roasted. Right now, I'm drinking a colombian, roasted to a Full City roast (for the true coffee geeks among us)...- French

What pens are we carrying today?
Pilot 78G today Like John in Covina, I'm also using a Pilot 78G with the stub nib. I've got mine loaded with Noodler's Verdun Green, and it is an absolute pleasure to write with. French- French

Adventurer v Federation IV Deluxe
Fed IV recommendation.... Hi, I went through this same process in late September, and I eventually went with the Fed IV (standard). For me, I made the right choice, the Fed IV is a rock-solid hat, looks good around town or "on adventures" (usually hiking with the kids), and has stood up to... -

Platinum 3776 ribbed Last night the Pilot 78G I had been carrying ran out of ink, so I flushed it this morning, and decided to put my Platinum 3776 ribbed black resin pen into rotation. The Platinum has a springy fine nib, which is ultra smooth and a joy to write with. I inked it with...- French

What pens are we carrying today?
haven't been writing enough still carrying the Namiki Bamboo, that Japanese Fine nib is quite stingy with the ink. When you combine the fine nib with the large converter, the pen writes forever before going dry. Pilot 78G with medium stub (labled Broad) nib. This pen gives my...- French

the Stetson Chatham
good hat My wife purchased me a Stetson Chatham for my birthday this year, and I'm very happy with the hat. I do not yet own a vintage fedora (I do have one on the way from Razzman!), but the Chatham is a good looking hat, soft felt, versatile color...everything that HarpPlayerGene said... -

thank you Thank you, Deacon. I've had good fortune with buying pens used on http://www.fountainpennetwork.com and to a lesser extent on eBay. It is incredible how much less a screened maki-e costs than a hand crafted maki-e design...well, maybe not incredible when you think of all the...- French

Firearm safety tutorial
very nice safety intro Hi Deacon, Like a previous poster, I first learned firearm safety from Dad and Granddad, then later in the US Army. It is so important for people to remember to always treat the weapon as if it was loaded and to never point the weapon at anything you do not intend...- French

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
the first "Indy" comment I've received This past Monday I was working from my home office (first time in two weeks I've had a home office day). I took advantage of not needing to see anyone and wore blue jeans, J. Crew boots and a button down shirt. I needed to go to the grocery store so... -

Hat repair in Boston?
not Boston or Western MA, but New Haven, CT Hi Kitty, Perhaps your friend could contact DelMonico Hatters in New Haven, CT. It is my understanding they have a semi-retired hatmaker who makes custom hats. Perhaps he could re-block your friend's lid. Their contact information is on...
