    movie hats that inspired you...

    What a magical time the 70's were...er, was...yeah...whatever.

    The Shadow

    Thanks... I tried to google up that hat right after I posted yesterday and couldn't find it anywhere.

    Biltmore on Ebay

    Looks OK... I'm not a fan of that kind of ribbon treatment. Appears to have a welted brim edge. I haven't seen one of those in person. Miller Hats has a real extensive line of Biltmores in all shapes and sizes. I've been to their store and never seen the Cavalier style.

    Biltmore on Ebay

    Fan but no expert... Biltmores are adequate hats, generally of above average off the shelf quality. They are relatively inexpensive, which appeals to me. A new one costs around $100. That's the extent of my expertise regarding the brand. I own a couple, wouldn't hesitate to buy another...

    Probably much nicer than that Borsalino you got stuck with.

    Reactions from people...

    When I lived in Maryland... ...and I left the house with my zipper down in the winter, I would be reminded by the blast of icy air. Here in Southeast Texas it's been 'round 70 during the day.

    Borsalino Allessandria

    My criteria for a fur felt fedora... 1. It must be relatively inexpensive. 2. I have to be able to try them on and feel it, unless it's from a reputable vendor. 3. Vintage, schmintage...give me a working hat that someone else didn't sweat in. I'd hate to come down with a case of 40...

    What do you use to shave?

    Scissors first, then a beard trimmer, finally Barbosol and a Trac II. It was about two and a half inches long. I was getting tired of eating it and tired of my wife saying "wipe your mouth", after every bite of food. It was quite magnificent, sort of a Saddam Husein/Tom Selleck thing...

    What do you use to shave?

    Very white...almost translucent.

    What do you use to shave?

    Shaved off my Cowboy 'stache... ...the other day. My kids went into shock. "Mom, there's a strange man in the bathroom!" My upper lip is quite cold today...

    Akubra Lightning Ridge

    I've been eying the Lightning Ridge. Let us know how it holds up in the elements. I'm looking for an outdoor hat, to be worn in the rain and shine.

    Reactions from people...

    I was dressed in a gray turtleneck, dark trousers, gray herringbone wool sports jacket and my gray herringbone B! Wear 8 1/4 cap, when I entered a donut shop last Sunday morning before church. My mission, to purchase some donuts and Kolaches for my family to sate their hunger before services...

    My new old Stetson

    Does it smell like a pickle?

    Adverse Weather and our Fedoras

    That's why I don't spend too much money on a hat. $150 max, Wear it for a year or so and if it don't hold up, get another. The way I wear hats and caps, I could not see spending a fortune on one.

    Distinguished Marines featured on postage stamps

    Oooh Raaah, Devil Dog! Good night Chesty Puller, wherever you are... Prepare to mount.... Mount! This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine... Left, right, left... ...oh, the sweet memories...

    Adverse Weather and our Fedoras

    Wear the hell out of 'em, I say... ...What else are they for? Cowboys wore felt hats in the rain and shine.

    I'm glad my kids know more about Christ than Freud.
