    Are Hats Your Main Interest?

    There are collectors of guns and gun collectors. I am a bit of both. The latter being far more expensive than the former. And once somebody has something of a collection, the next expense is a way protect it all. Vaults are always good. Steel reinforced, thick concrete, humidity and temp...

    Are Hats Your Main Interest?

    Hats are not my hobby. I like to have many hats for many occasions, plus I collect them because there are only so many vintage hats to be had. But, in the end they serve a purpose for me. I have dress, casual and outdoor hats. I have always worn hats of some sort anytime I am outside. I...

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    I Agree with Neecerie, came to the same conclusion. I have a blackberry, that is actually for work. It works anywhere in the world. I am dragged kicking and screaming into any new tech, but having thihgs such as downloadable music, GPS and email really make things easier for me especially...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Won this on ebay today. My first win EVER! Not sure if what they have listed for its age is correct. Judging by the vintage Dobbs I have it is very similar. But, seems a good price none the less. I also hope the brim is 2 1/2 like they say. Hard to tell in a pic sometimes. Less than 2 1/2...

    S I said above, the money was raised from private sources. Should interested private sources not be able to give to such?

    Cash found in Ohio house's walls becomes nightmare

    Lesson learned, if you find something like this work it out with the immediate parties, the family etc and keep your mouth shut. Don't go to the media with such a story. And it truth the family of the home owner of the time should have gotten nothing. It is the duty of the homeowner to get...

    USSIntrepid...stuck

    The vast majority of the project was funded by private donations. This has nothing to do with taking money from any war efforts or covert operations or intelligence budgets to fund a museum. You could use many Sun Tzu sayings to apply to the anti-museum argument. The need for a superior...

    Post New Hats Here!

    He means the width of the brim from the crown break to the outer edge. I think it is 2 1/2". Looks like the Sovereign something I forget. I have a grey one like that. They may have fixed an issue or two, but their felt is still not as good on the fedoras as it used to be, just isn't...

    Michael Crichton passed away at his LA home after a battle with cancer. I enjoyed reading most of his books.

    Firearm safety tutorial

    Diamondback is absolutely correct. It is a foolish man who would carry a 1911 style pistol anyway other than cocked and locked. The 1911 has a grip safety, any newer model has a block safety as well. They are designed to be carried C&L and it is not "cowboy: to carry it that way. The Hi...

    Guns and shooting advice?

    You should talk to some other re-enactors or mountain men era and some of the old west shooting competitors. They can really help you. Flintlocks, and anything with external flashes are more dangerous to the eyes and learning all of the particulars first are important.

    new Akubra Bushman

    The classic Bushman is Imperial felt. The Yates version says theres is superfine which is not quite as good as Imperial from my understanding. They only use that felt on certain 'special made' hats and they aren't high dollar, so that is my guess. According to Akubra the Bushman is not...

    Adventurebilt bragging rights (PIC ADDED!)

    That TVA is still one of my favorite hats ever. I have a similar one Mike made in Grey. Not exact, but close. I was just curious if Mike has one of the same blocks as Steve was using.
