    Navigation before GPS

    I was a navigator in the Navy from 1988 to 1992. GPS was first introduced about half way thru my tour. Before, we used a sextant to get sun-lines, moon-lines, and star fixes that were calculated using complex formulae and corrections from the Nautical Almanac. These celestial fixes were...

    Poll: Button or snaps on your suspenders?

    Buttons are ideal, but it can be difficult sewing them on as they must be sewed to the inner waistband without the stitches showing on the outer band. Also, modern pants aren't really made to be worn with braces--the inner band can be pulled up and out which is not very good! Looking thru...

    Thin Ribbon shots from movies

    One man, one hat, two T.V. series! Jay C. Flippen wore a thin-ribbon in an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show in 1962: And he didn't baby it, either! And he wore the same hat, or a very similar one, a couple of years later in an episode of Burke's Law: It really stood out in a crowd...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That's a fair question. Anyone who doesn't conform to what is thought of as normal risks being ridiculed. There are a lot of threads here on the Lounge about how we deal with these reactions. But it all boils down to what Quapaw said; just wear what you like and don't pay any attention to...

    Fedora Store Beaver Brand Xmas specials

    My pleasure! The gray color I ordered is really nice; it's lighter than a steel gray, but just a shade darker than a pearl gray. It seems as though it'll go with earth tones or blues. I love the Campdraft, too, but sometimes it just seems like too much hat on me! If they would make it with a...

    Fedora Store Beaver Brand Xmas specials

    I do have a Campdraft--three in fact. There are some differences: first, the Campdraft comes open-crown, though the Beaver Brand can be ordered open-crown. The felt on the Campdraft has a slightly rougher finish, the Beaver Brand is extremely smooth and regular. The Campdraft has a much...
