    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    That is quite impressive. I wouldn't even know where to begin to do something like that. I've never really been a ring wearer, although I've tried on several occasions. I don't think I've found anything that just looks right on my hands. I would like to get some sort of signet or family ring...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I'm already to that point. I'm mainly just trying to hit what I consider a bare minimum of colors and styles that I think I'll need, then I'll see about upgrading or adding additional colors and styles at a later date.

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    Cuban sandwich is probably my favorite. I bought a sandwich press specifically so I can make them myself, even though I rarely find authentic Cuban bread to make them with.

    Fear

    I think the best piece of advice I've seen is the "wear the hat, don't let it wear you". If you act like the hat is out of place, people will immediately pick up on it and agree. It should be like a pair of shoes, the most natural thing in the world to be wearing, like it would be odd to not...

    Fear

    I've seen style guides specifically reference aggressive tilts or turning a fedora slightly to the side as the proper way to wear them.

    What to wear with a fedora....

    At this point I don't see that it makes much difference if that's what you feel like wearing. I've pretty much cycled Tshirts out of my everyday attire in favor of a polo, but really a polo is just a Tshirt pretending to be dressy anyway. Try it out and see how it feels to you. If you don't...

    Patterson-Fletcher bowler 7 1/4

    I picked this up on ebay. The seller didn't know where to look for the size tag and guessed that it was a 7 1/2. Unfortunately when I received it today, I found the tag and it's a 7 1/4, which is way too small for me. The hat box it came in is beat up pretty bad, but holds up. When I opened...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Just received a brown Dobbs I got from ebay in the mail. It was sold as "grey-ish green", but this might be the most obviously brown thing I own. While I bought it because it was almost od green, I needed a brown hat anyway so it evens out. The seller had no information on the hat, including...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The last movie I watched was Shazam back on March 23. I managed to get tickets to an advanced showing. I think it actually hits theatres this week. Its a fun family movie despite a few kinda dark scenes. I've also just purchased tickets to the opening day for Avengers Endgame. Tickets appear to...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I need to try to find my old All Weather Coat. I know it won't fit anymore, I'm a good bit bigger than I was in my lean and mean days in the Marine Corps. Perhaps I'll just try to track down one in my current size, I think it would be a great addition after all those years of not really needing it.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I will say, the people close to me are supportive of my renewed interest in hats. In particular, a good lady friend of mine seems to be almost as enthusiastic about it as I am, and she doesn't live close enough to have actually seen me wearing them in person. She'll even send me links and videos...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I really don't get reactions. People don't mention it and don't seem to be bothered by it one way or the other. They just go about their day and I go about mine as if it's the most normal thing. We'll see if that holds true as I ramp up wearing a hat more than a few times a week.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    chow hall/mess hall are still the terms used, at least where they still exist. quite a few bases are closing them down either due to less troops or in favor of promoting the restaurants on base. Civilian workers have dominated the last 2 bases I was on, and they typically either won't or can't...

    What are you snacking on?

    Just finished up some Popeyes chicken. I didn't know until I got back to my office that they had given me twice as many tenders as I ordered. I shouldn't have eaten them all. I regret nothing. I regret everything.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I remember people using swan in place of swear, typically they would draw it out a bit at the beginning like s-wan or by saying "swanny". Being in the military (which is typically known for heavy use of profanity), I picked up and still occasionally use replacement words used by people in key...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Been wearing my Sterkowski around as much as possible to get back used to wearing a hat. I straightened out the brim a good bit. It originally hat a curl to it that said "cowboy" more than it said "fedora". I also threw a feather on it cause I like the breakup that a splash of color can give...
