Hat for Upland Hunting
For spring through early fall I mainly wear a hat major moore made, which is a light weight all beaver natural color. It has a crown nearly 5" and brim of 2 1/2". It's just enough to cover my face and not interfere with my shooting. I wear it for the entire sporting clays events up to the... -
Show us your Guns!
Back from the Southern Side-by-Side Spring Classic in Sanford NC at the Deep River Shooting Complex. I shot an Ithaca, LC Smith and a Frederick Williams. Classes included American guns, European, hammered and hammerless. There was the yearly competition between the Parker and LC Smith...- warbird

BOX SETS: Elvis, Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash Unearthed
You are right, a great deal. Anyone who loves blues should have RJ in the collection. I travel through Mississippi often. You can still find plenty of this music down there if you look, played in tiny towns by old men. It's great stuff.- warbird

Show us your Guns!
Any other vintage side by side or Edwardian shooters here. I am headed to NC next month for the southern side by side nationals. This week I went and bought another shooter. I got a 1929 Ithaca NID in 12g with 30" bbl. It locks up beautifully. The chokes are mod and full and I may get the...- warbird

Fed IV Carbon Grey sz58
Does the Fed IV run smaller than the fed III. My III fit OK but was a bit tight originally in the front. I am wondering thinking I hear the IV runs smaller as it is an old block which would lead me to think I need a 7 1/4 this time.- warbird

I TRADED A $22 PIZZA FOR THIS GREAT FEDORA !!!!!
Man I have to get to Memphis in the next few weeks. The shop looks great Mike and it looks like you are getting some great inventory built up. I stopped in an antique shop in KY this week and found a beauty, an all black Stetson Whippet. It is very old and super soft, the brim may be a tad... -
What turns you on
I guess the quick answer is the Merlin wouldn't have fit the P38 design. Actually what you are mainly hearing is not the turbo, but the supercharger. While I love the sound of the Big V engines, I love the radials even more. To fly, I'd take the V's, but I do really love the sound of a...- warbird

Fancy Ribbons and Vintage Hats
My vintage Knox- it looks like 2 shades of hray, but it isn't. The darker color is a medium green with silver accent. It goes well with the silver/gray brim binding. My Keeneland Raceway- this hat has a neat ribbon on it, not sure how to describe it. There 3 pleats for lack of a better... -

Winchester Hat Corporation -- Making the Felt
OK, I'm gonna petition that we not make this into a sticky, because I just have to see Bob eat that Akubra :p Great job Jimmy, it was almost as if I was there. Oh yeah, I was. ;) -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Well you guys must be hanging out with some of the worst examples of this state I guess because I have never met an adult who I would say didn't know who Einstein was. Might be a lot of rednecks and a lot of country folks, but they aren't stupid for the most part. -
Winchester hat corporation
The only thing I hate worse than coppers is cows. :) What struck me from that tour: One they go up that conveyor belt as a pile of what looks like lint, they get blown into that area where the cone is located, vacuumed onto it and the felt body is pulled out and dunked in water. They are... -

Modern Open Road Stetson Question
I have a Stetson Gun Club Dune. It's a really nice hat. In fact it has become my favorite winter hunting hat. However it has a lower and more tapered crown than the OR styled hats and the brim is a bit wider as well. It does have nice fairly soft felt. -

Fedoras at the inaguration
My mother lived part of her youth in Ashtabula, far NE corner, and for a time my grandmother moved back there when I was a kid. I remember going to Cleveland Indians games in July and after that I swore never to utter the words meaning something isn't likely to happen, 'on a cold day in...
