    Kennedy's Hat

    Not real big on that Kennedy hat myself. He looks like he just bought it off the rack. Now FDR, that man knew how to bash, smash and crease a hat. :D

    Fedoras at the inaguration

    You absolutely must be kidding me? Only in California. Actually perhaps only in certain parts of California :rolleyes: I see men wearing cowboy hats all the time, they are of all parties and no parties. They represent nothing more than the fact they like hats. I'm pretty astounded anyone...

    Where'd Cheney get his hat?

    Nobody in their 80's like GHWB cares much for that kind of cold. Cheney hasn't always been ill, but he isn't in especially great health. His heart problems slow him down I'm sure, but even more so in the cold. The wheelchair is because he severely pulled muscles in his back and is unable to...

    Where'd Cheney get his hat?

    Well it isn't just the cold, but the proximity to the ocean and the large Potomac right there, it's always windy and that is a humid wind. Bites down to the bone.

    Where'd Cheney get his hat?

    I don't think that hat has a tremendous amount of taper. I think it's the angle. It does have a wide Shadow like brim. Kinda cool. Bush is a very nice person. He is amiable and friendly. I have yet to meet Obama, but I do hope to. I have met every president since Nixon, though not all of...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    The snooty artist elites and their critics often said Wyeth was not a true painter, but an illustrator. I always found that to be absurd of Wyeth and a personal favorite, Rockwell. They were artists as much as any painter and were able to convey emotion, sentimentality and a uniqueness to the...

    Are you aware that you can buy a BRAND NEW Campdraft and have it shipped to the US from Australia for about $90 right now. You might want to reconsider your price to maybe about $50 or so.

    Tennessee Hatters

    The shop in Chattanooga is now crap. Once upon a time, it was a quality shop. There's also a hat guy I think he lives in Chattanooga. He specializes in Cowboy hats for Cowboy Action guys. But truth be told he has another hatter make his tough to make hats for him. He mainly is a dealer of...

    Zootshooting

    Yes you are correct. And it's not just the clothing, but also the firearms. There are so many more choices now (in the last 15 yrs) for every type of pistol and rifle from the "mountain man" to 1900 it is just astounding. S&W also has recreated "new" old designs, remanufacturing a number of...

    Metal in Akubra sweat

    Akubras have come with that wire for as far back as I can recall, it is nothing new. I likewise always take mine out. It more quickly assumes my LO shape and especially makes a new hat more comfortable from the start without pressure on the front. It is the first thing I do. I have never...

    Hat Sponge? Really?

    Yes most wool hats, with a few exceptions, whould not be gotten wet. What these folks are referring to here are fur felt hats. I for one do not bother to really ever clean my wool hats. The couple I have are for wearing in areas where I don't want to wear an expensive fur felt hat but need...

    Show us your Guns!

    The Schofield, one variation of the S&W model 3 was a great design. In fact the title of Guns that won the west went to Colt, but S&W had just as much claim to the title. It was superior in some respects to the Colt in that the top break action allowed for much easier reloading. It also...

    Beautiful piece. I love the old rabbit ears. What part of NM do you live in? I am in Raton fairly often.

    Guns and shooting advice?

    Yes, very comfortable. I have this discussion with people often. I say it is hard to be extremely accurate. They say are you kidding me, the SEAL's use it because of its accuracy. Is say yes they are, and they shoot about a thousand rounds a week too. They are proficient as all get out.

    Guns and shooting advice?

    The Sig is a well made firearm. The problem with the Sig is the high bore axis ratio. What that means is the barrel sits well above your hand. To be truly proficient with this firearm you have to practice a lot. A medium framed revolver has many great qualities. For auto leaders what...

    Guns and shooting advice?

    The Beretta 92 is a large frame duty weapon. The grip on that pistol in particular is quite large. Unless you have large hands I would not think it a good match.
