    A tip of the fedora to Graham Thompson

    LOL, it's not quite that obvious. lol Actually you would never notice unless you looked real close, but I really liked the look.

    A tip of the fedora to Graham Thompson

    Nice work Graham. That is service! You certainly don't stains. Sometimes those felts do not completely take the coloring. A while back Mike Moore picked up a felt down at Winchester that did not take the color well. It was a light all beaver felt. They tried to dye it moss green , but...

    Changeling - Clint Eastwood & Angelina Jolie

    Interesting film, I like period pieces. However, the film is only based on a true story, not the true story. It is far far over the top compared to what actually happened real life. The truth was very sad, however resolved, from this institutionalism point of view, after only a few days...

    Guns and shooting advice?

    What WH1 said. If possible start with a .22 and a rifle at that. It will train you to pull the trigger and not flinch. They are also accurate and you will acclimate yourself to it quickly. You want to be comfortable and feel safe with the weapon. It will intimidate at first, but not for...

    New hat: color?

    Definitely go grey first, medium grey. Then go brown. Those are IMO the 2 most versatile colors. Between them you can match just about anything.

    Thanks, Art!

    Great news for you thanks to Art. But that is just bad news for that other hatmaker. I don't understand why it wasn't right the second time even.

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    I think yes you are right about that. At least many of the oldest vintage OR's including mine are at least partly beaver, maybe some even had nutria. I don't know their comp today it most likely is a composite, though it certainly is not as high a quality a fur as it used to be. To me wild...

    Wearing hat cocked to the side..

    Some of my hats just won't cant to the side well. Some don't and some do. It's all about how it naturally fits for you. Maybe it is just that hat, maybe a hat for you just looks best flat. I suspect after you have worn a few hundred as any of us have, that some will cant for you and some...

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    1. Akubra did make a Stetson Open Road for Stetson with a Stetson sweat. 2. The campdraft is the closest thing to a vintage OR being mass manufactured today. It is far superior to the OR being made today by Stetson, which is stiff as a board and has a terrible feel to it. You will not get...

    Looking for a Fedora that will stay snapped down in the front

    He said it is wool. All this advice pertains to fur felt, except where so noted by the poster. The advice can be thrown out the window if talking fur. Most wool is what it is, unless it is vintage very high quality wool, it will simply be what it is. Do not soak the brim in water! Do not...

    This would never have happened to Marilyn or Inrgid!

    People who play with others emotions are as old as mankind. A person like that will always find a medium to allow them to do that. This isn't new. Never play second fiddle to anyone.

    Show us your Guns!

    I believe the 30-06 is the best overall round for hunting you can find. It is extremely versatile depending on bullet weight. There are several other good choices that have versatility depending on the loads, specifically the 300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, 308 and my personal favorite, the...

    Show us your Guns!

    If you are going to carry and its Inside the Waist Band IWB, get yourself a top quality holster. I recommend Milt Sparks. They make just about the best holsters around IMO and I have used many different brands. They handmake a holster that not only isn't much more than many mass made...

    Calling all fans of the Great Depression

    And he is right. Look, when an economy is on a downturn or a depression the worst thing you can do is feel guilty about having a job and then not doing it. We have to work harder and realizing that there is pain being experienced keep an optimistic attitude about the quick recover and a bright...
