Smoking Back in the Day
You're right there. LOL you gotta smoke a lot of pot to believe it isn't bad for you, oh brother. It's the smoke and the tar, not the chemicals that get ya. Cancer got smokers a long time ago too. The chemicals don't help, but a lack of them don't make it healthy. Cigars are good...- warbird

reblocking questions
You cannot always tell by feel. I have felt all fur felt hats that are quite rough, simply because they were not pounced and finished out like they should have been. I do not know of this combination, though it could have been done it wouldn't make much sense. I am not aware of any wool and... -

Fur felt types?
All rabbit or rabbit blend is the most popular today. Beaver is still the best and all beaver is the most expensive. I believe some are still using nutria and they should use it a lot more. There millions of those pesky little fur balls creating havoc on the gulf. Other furs are also... -
My Buckaroo Hatters collection
Not sure how to answer. It definitely has silver tones to it and gold tones it. Really neat color contrast IMO. I like it. -
What do you do for Living?
I'll second the statement that he is a class act. I see him once a year at least and he is as nice a person as you would ever want to meet.- warbird

FL gets mention on BBC Radio 4
Well most of that discussion is on threads that you have to be a member to see. He probably wasn't aware of it and never registered as a member, so he never saw that part of the FL. Someone should email him and let him know that he got that part wrong.- warbird

My Buckaroo Hatters collection
The middle one is the light weight all beaver I wore when in Memphis. Not a thin ribbon, but not particularly wide either. The one on the left you also saw at Mike's. It's dark green and a lighter weight, though not a super lightweight, again all beaver. The felt on it is very thin and... -
Camptown Fieldmaster. Sweet.
The hat looks good on ya. To those waiting though, considering that these hats are not custom made bespoke hats like VS, Mike Moore's, JPierce's, but are mass made for this seller it is beyond me why there are so many on here who wait months on end for these hats. They are made by a mass... -

How to pronounce "Django" Reinhardt's moniker?
Considering the fact that he lost most of the use of two fingers on his fret hand in a fire, his remarkable playing is even more so.- warbird

Aargh! Salad Dressing on my Johnnyphi!
But don't use lighter fluid. Get coleman white gas. There's a big difference in the composition and cleanliness between traditional lighter fluid and Coleman White Gas. -
Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
The new OR is not like the ones of old, in quality or shape. It is too short and too tapered. On the Stetson it isn't because of a deep center dent, it's because Stetson makes them that way on almost all of their hats. You might be able to make it less tapered if you re-crease it and give it... -
Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now
I just posted on another thread about softening up a fed. I take my fist and smash them over and over watching tv. Smash it straight down and then bash in the sides of the hat. In no time that hat is super soft. Just pop the crease out and smash away, the when done, put the crease back in... -
Which Akubra is soft fur?
This is very true. I like to quicken the process on my feds by smashing them while sitting and watching tv. They do get wonderfully soft, but it takes time. They do not start that way. And I don't know that my vintage hats started life as soft as they are now either. For all I know they had...
