    MY FATHER'S HAT My Dad bought this Coober Pedy in 1994 and I got it when he went west a year later. It's 59cm and I wear a 60 so it lives in my closet most of the time. I do wear it in the winter when I can. I just got a stretcher so I hope to wear it more often.

    ушанканатор - USHANKANATOR .... bring it on!!!!!!

    Soviet Army Surplus I got this about ten years ago from Sportsman's Guide. I replaced the Soviet Army badge with the Imperial Romanov badge. It's 60cm, acrylic, and as hot as an oven even at -20 degrees. Yes, the Russians know about winter hats! Papers Please!

    My New Portis Supreme. Christmas came early today. I got my new hat from Feltfan in the mail, and I could not be happier with it or him. He is a great pleasure to deal with and a true "Mensch". He already posted some great pics of the hat, so I'll direct you here...

    Cocktails anyone?

    Spell Check The Spelling is everything. In old recipe books if it's spelled Whisky, it might mean Scotch. If it's spelled Whiskey, then Irish, Canadian, Bourbon, Rye, or Sour Mash are perfectly acceptable. However, they each will impart a different taste to the final product.

    Loads of WW2 stuff

    Whatever you did contributed to the finest film making ever on TV. If I could buy you a few pints, I'd bore you to tears with questions about the shoot. I know quite a few reenactors here who will hate me when I tell them I "know" one of the crew. If you ever come to Cleveland we'll never let...
