    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    I have stretched two 7 1/8 hats to a snug 7 3/8 using the above method, not forgetting lots of leather conditioner on the sweat. Took about a week each, but they turned out fine and have kept the new size for over 8 months. Good Luck.

    Leslie Howard's Haircut: I Must Emulate It. Help Please?

    Many of the Golden Era stars didn't have "hat head" because they wore "appliances" to cover their "thinning" hair. The makeup people used wax to stiffen them. Also remember, the hat was put on the actor immediately before the Director called "Action!"

    A long-shot of a question

    Your web browser keeps track of every site you go to. It's usually in the "History" section. You can backtrack through every website you visited yesterday and the day before and the day before etc.

    The "Pleasing Phrase" Thread

    I got tired of saying things like "See ya later," "Take it easy," and "Have a good one," so I decided to bring back my Grandmother's parting salutations. To friends she always said, "Goodbye, it's been a pleasure." To strangers, "Goodbye and Good Morning," "Good Afternoon, Good Evening," etc.

    What Happened to Chivalry?

    I have noticed lately, that when I open a door for a woman with whom I am unacquainted, the action is received with pleasant surprise.

    Duke of York in Mauritius, early 1900`s

    The more I look at it, the more out of place your GGF seems. Like he was put in at a later date. No hat, shadow on the wrong side of his face, only one not looking at the photographer, vintage Photoshop job?[huh]

    Pure Beaver Hat for Sale or Trade

    Or use the Elipse Calculator here: http://www.csgnetwork.com/circumellipse.html 8" X 6.5" = 22.898" I have used it for buying hats on the Bay. If the seller measures right, it works right.

    Spit and polish

    I was rejected because of my eyesight, but have always been a HUGE Military buff and supporter. I concentrated on WWII for my History Degree. I worked the Flightline at Midwest Airshows for 15 years, and am now Reenacting at Airshows. (RAF Impression) I love Spit and Polish.:D

    STETSONS NEW WEBSITE

    Here's an idea you might bring up in future marketing meetings, rig up a Semi-tractor trailer into a traveling hat store, and send it out on a national tour. Outfit it with the full line of Dress and Western hats, and have it make a weekend stop in every state capital in the lower 48 over the...
